Severely Depressed

Lasynight I attended a strip club. At one point in the night a female approached me and started dancing on me. I began to touch her body and run my hand over her covered vagina. I never inserted my fingers into her vagina but did touch the crotch are where it felt like some pubic hair could be felt. we then moved to a couch where she began to dance and grind on me to the point where I ejaculated in my pants. I could feel a wet spot on my underwear and on the outside of my jeans. Also during the dance she was rubbing her face against mine and slightly kissing my face getting close to the lips and nibbling on my ears. I'm not positive if she made any contact with my lips but she may have gotten really close. Am I at risk for any STD's. I'm very sick to my stomach. I wasn't able to wash my hands until I got home after touching this woman, and do not remember if i touched my face or privates before I washed.My pants may have been slightly unzipped when I was receiving this dance. I'm so scared right now that I put myself at risk for catching an STD. Please help me I'm suffering severe anxiety. New years eve is 2mro and I feel like I've ruined my whole holiday by making such a big mistake. Do you recommend going to get tested and to seeing a doctor?

"Are these thoughts even rational...?"  No.

"...or is this just anxiety taking it's toll on me?"  Yes.  Enough so that you should consider counseling about it.  The level of fear you are feeling is truly irrational and not normal for this sort of event, especially after the sort of reassurance I have tried to give you.  And anybody who titles a question "severely depressed" probably needs professional mental health attention.  This advice comes from compassion, not criticism; I hope you will heed it.

But counseling is not what this forum does, so that is definitely the end of this thread.  Good luck to you.

Just my last response and I'm done. I understand I may be over-reacting I just have anxious thoughts about something popping up in next few days/weeks or long way down the road from this event, and that I may have caught something and never know it. Are these thoughts even rational or is this just anxiety taking it's toll on me.

The additional information doesn't change my opinion or advice.  It is silly to be worried about oral herpes from a single kiss -- and it sounds like your lips barely touched hers anyway.  Considering normal social kissing (a peck on the cheek with friends), you undoubtedly have had many other potential exposures without catching HSV-1.  There is just as much chance your friends and relatives have oral herpes as the dancer does.

Accept the reassurance you have been given and stop even thinking about this event.

That's all for this thread.  I won't have anything more to say.

The kissing part really bothers me because of oral herpes.

I appreciate your help doctor you don't understand how much relief I have now. I was wondering does ethnicity play any role in STD's. This woman was a 23 year old African American female, and I am a 21 year old Caucasian?

Patience, patience.  Don't read only the questions on other threads, read the replies as well.

Relax.  It is not possible to catch an STD from the sort of contact you describe.  They call them STDs because you have to have sex to catch them.  That means a bare penis inside a partner's vagina, anus, or mouth.  There is no reason to be worried or to get tested.

Here are links to a couple of threads that explain in more detail why there was no risk of STD transmission:

So no worries and no need for such anxiety.  Happy new year--   HHH, MD
