Penis to buttocks contact

[mtasb2]

Hi,

Recently I went to a massage parlour for an erotic massage (body rub with hand job). During the course of this, the lady performing the massage was rubbing her body all over mine and my penis touched the lower part of her back just above her buttocks and also touched the very top part of the ''crack'' in between her butt cheeks. It was actually the under side of my penis that touched this last area for maybe a second or two before I realised it and pulled away. I don't think my penis actually went into the ''crack'', but for worst case scenario sake, I will say that it did momentarily (maybe one or two seconds). My penis came no where near her anus or her vagina and I got a chance to look at the girl's buttocks and genitals and didn't see any visible outbreaks or red bumps.

Anyway, I'm sort of worried about this type of contact and the possibility of me catching a STD.  

Thank you in advance

Welcome to the Forum. This sort of contact, sometimes referred to as "frottage" certainly did not put you at risk for common traditional STDs such as gonorrhea or chlamydia.  This is because the parts of the body in the buttock/anal area which are infected by these organisms are deep within the anus, not in the area which you contacted. Without contact, you need not worry about transmission.

There is a theoretical risk of acquisition of diseases spread by direct contact such as syphilis or herpes but in the case of syphilis, the disease is VERY rare and you likely would have seen a lesion.  As for herpes, the disease is more common but the risk of infection, IF she was infected (and you do not know that she was) is less than 1 in 1000.  Thus the risk for both syphilis and herpes is very, very low as well but for different reasons.

My advice is to not worry. This sort of contact did not put you at risk for an STD,.  there is no need for worry or for testing.  EWH

Correct.  I would not worry. EWH

I guess that considering the chances that I contracted herpes are less than 1 in 1000 (if she was infected or shedding in that area) and the very short exposure I had, my chances of contracting anything would be quite theoretical ?

Thank you again
