[Question #12569] STD through french kissing or fingering or hand job?

One day ago I was in contact with a female CSW in Central Europe. We performed french kissing for a few minutes, I fingered her vagina and she gave me a hand job. Is there any risk for STDs, e.g. Gonorrhea?

Kissing -- including open mouth ("French") is little or no risk for any STD. The same is true of fingering and hand-genital contact. Some infections are called "sexually transmitted" for good reason -- but when that term started to be used, sex only meant intercourse. There is some controversy about gonorrhea and kissing, but this has only been a problem in men having sex with other men -- and even there it is uncommon. Despite much internet discussion of kissing and STD risk, it's a really rare problem, if it occurs at all, between men and women. You are not at risk and do not need testing for anything. If you have a regular sex partner, you can continue your usual sexual lifestyle without risk of giving her (or him) any STD. Don't worry about it!
