on Monday around noon I went to a Rub n tug And ended up receiving sex. she put a condom on he gave me a blow job for about 30 seconds then sat me down in the chair put my condom covered penis into her vagina and rode me for possibly 20 to 30 seconds and then she got off taking a condom with her. I then had a shower. as of this morning Thursday at 7 AM I started to notice a feeling of heat not burning but I’m comfortable warmth around the base of my penis and my scrotum and a little bit on my inner thighs. As well as pelvic discomfort but I would best describe his lower abdominal prostate area discomfort.Extra information I did shave my scrotum and base of my penis on Monday before going out around 10 o’clock. My obvious question what are my chances that this is herpes from that experience. Is this a high risk scenario that I need to keep a lookout for the next stage of symptoms.?

update, pelvic pressure and uncomfortableness is worse, the hot feeling has been replaced w a scratchy feeling again at the bottom of my penis shaft n the surrounding area. 
does a condom prevent the transmission of herpes n if so by how much... how does it enter the body and through what kind of skin
thx

I think the risk of getting herpes in this situation is very close to zero.  The first thing is that it was a single exposure, which, statistically, is a lower risk.  Second, a condom was used which is quite protective against herpes transmission. It's not perfect female-male, but very useful.  It reduces transmission by bout 65%.  Third, you've had no sores as of your posting which is the most important thing.  Fourth, the contact was extremely brief, 20-30 seconds.  I think your risk here is very very low.
