[Question #11640] Any risk or am I making it up in my head?

13 months ago

Good afternoon,

I have two questions

Number one. Are there any STDs that could be transferred from receiving a lap dance with the woman minimally clothed? I got a lap dance three weeks ago and noticed I had pre-cum in my underwear, but no stains on my pants or in visible wetness.

City test done 18 days later and everything came back negative,

My second question is earlier today I went to massage parlor, and the woman watched me masturbate. She didn’t touch me but then later I noticed I had little bumps on my scrotum went to an urgent care and my doctor told me I had a fungal infection so are there any STDs I can get from sitting on a chair, naked?

I apologize if these questions are dumb I just want to hear an answer from you guys so I know that everything could be put to rest. And could I have sex with my girlfriend still?

Welcome. Thanks for your confidence in our services. And for your direct, succinct questions.

Question 1: No STDs are possible from a lap dance, assuming no penetration of your unprotected penis into the dancer's vagina, rectum or mouth. No STD bacteria or virues can pass through cloth. You did not need testing, but you can rely on the negative results.

Question 2: Also no risk. No STD can be transmitted from sitting on a contaminated chair, or by any other contact with infected fluids other than by sex itself. You definitely can safely continue sex with your girlfriend.

Let me know if anything isn't clear!

Thank you, can you explain why transmission not be possible through clothes and infected surfaces?

I’m a hypochondriac and I want to have the facts so I can 100% not doubt anymore. Thank you so much

"can you explain why transmission not be possible through clothes and infected surfaces?" You might assume that exposure to "just one virus" might be enough for infection to take hold. Not for HIV. It takes LOTS of virus that must have access to certain cells that are deep inside the body. There has never been a known case of HIV from exposure to the virus in the environment: only by intimate contact. In addition, HIV dies rapidly when it dries or is exposed to air. (I already assumed you were naked on the chair.)---

When you say intimate, you mean sexually being naked and actively having sex? you say HIV it’s not possible. Any other STDs would be possible ?or no STD is possible? I’m pretty sure the answer is no but I’m going to ask you guys don’t recommend testing?

By the way, thank you so much. I appreciate everything you do and God bless.

Yes -- by "intimate" I mean sexual intercourse. If your penis doesn't enter another person's vagina or rectum, you'll never get HIV sexually. Even oral sex is little or no risk. Also blood sharing, e.g. using the same drug injection needle as an HIV infected person.

The same applies to all STDs. They're called "sexually transmitted" for good reason!

That completes the two follow-up comments and replies included with each question and so ends this thread. Thanks for the thanks; I'm glad to have helped.
