[Question #9066] indirect encounter (help!!)
36 months ago
|
Hello - can you tell me if I should be worried. I am gay and had a sexual encounter with another gay male. We hugged and slapped each others faces (kiddingly) when we met, and rubbed each others bodies with our hands. I pulled my pants down and he spanked my ass, and then he rubbed by body again with his hands. I had on a shirt and shorts during this time, and he was only wearing shorts. I am not sure if some of his semen came through his shorts (they were very thin). I am also concerned that he may have gotten semen on his hands from the semen from his shorts or from his penis (he took his shorts off after awhile of getting excited), and got it on my face and in my mouth as he put his hands in my mouth. I am concerned that this action may have passed on an std to me. Should I be worried. This was our only sexual activity. no kissing, anal sex, or penis play or oral.

Welcome and thanks for your confidence in our services.
Your question is succinct and straightforward, and my reply is similar. The direct answer is no: you should not be at all worried. STDs are not transmitted without penetration or at least direct genital-genital, -anal, or -oral contact. They certainly are not transmitted by body contact, hand-body contact, etc of the sort you mention; and indirect contact with genital fluids (like semen) via fingers and hands is risk free. This was a 100% risk free sexual encounter (which I wouldn't even truly classify as sexual). You need no testing for anything.
I hope these comments are helpful. Let me know if anything isn't clear.

Thanks for your reassurance. Does this change, knowing that we eventually gave each other a hug at the end of our meeting and we were both naked at the time, this happened just before I got dressed. I ask because I may have been exposed to precum on his body still. Other than this - there is no additional information.
I thought the whole encounter was an indirect contact situation (indirect - I came to learn the meaning reading many of your posts). My concern was the touching of the bodies with possible semen on each others hands, from touching each other and the insertion of the persons hands in my mouth or on my body. Thanks for answering that question. What you do is so important, as there are not many places one can go to get answers to situational experiences - everything out there on the internet seems to be broad based when seeking answers. I look forward to your final answer. Again, I thank you and your team for this service.

As I said, there is no STD risk from body contact without direct genital contact -- as you correctly understand, based on your second paragraph. So this additional information does not change my assessment or advice.
