[Question #12709] massage

Hello Doctor,
Two weeks ago, I went to a sexual massage parlor and received a handjob with massage oil from a masseuse until I ejaculated. There was no intercourse, oral sex, or anal sex. After it ended, she used a hot towel from the parlor to wipe my genitals and body.
1.I have read many of your answers on the forum stating that sexual massage (receiving a handjob) is a safe sexual activity that does not transmit gonorrhea, genital warts, or other worrying STDs. However, I have also found many articles and comments from other doctors on Google claiming that there is a risk, which confuses me.
2.Could the parlor’s towels and massage oil be a medium for transmitting STDs? Many online sources say that gonorrhea, chlamydia, genital warts, and other sexually transmitted diseases can survive outside the human body in a warm and moist environment for over an hour. Is it possible for them to survive on a towel or in massage oil? For instance, if a hot towel provided by the parlor was contaminated with a previous customer’s semen or secretions, or with the HPV virus that causes genital warts, and was not cleaned properly before it touched my genitals, could that lead to indirect infection?
