About a week ago, I recieved a "handjob" from a prostitute. I did not do anything else and later that night took a shower washing my penis. Lately, I have been experienceing itching/burning in my genital area, especially on my scrotum. It has even turned red. I also have something that looks like a stretch mark or cut on my inner thigh near my penis. Along with this I have been getting random itches/rashses over my body. Last time I had an itchy scrotum my doctor said it was fungal and prescribed me a cream which I started using recently, but still am feeling itchy. Is it possible that I have contracted an STD? Thank you.

See several other strings with similar questions. You can't get an STD or any other infection from a hand job. Your symptoms sound like a fungal infection (yeast or jock itch), not sexually acquired.

Whilst technically one cannot get an STD from a handjob, in this instance the prostitute smeared her vagina with a cream before commencing said handjob.

It is therefore quite conceivable that she had an STD, which was transmitted to her hand/fingers, which in turn gave the handjob recipient an STD

There's nothing like bad advice from an expert.

While it is very unlikely you will contract an STD from a handjob, it is certainly possible. And other infections, too. (Ever hear of staphylococcus?) I agree it does sound as if you have a fungal infection and this is one of the easiest to transmit manually. She touched her vagina to apply a cream and then touched you. There ya go. Is it likely? No. Is it possible? Yes.

In any case, it's your dick, man! Something goes wrong, get yourself to a doctor! Good lord. And remember, the symptoms of many of these infections will disappear in a few days without treatment. Think you're cured? Think again, buster. You are still infected and you can pass the disease on and suffer the effects later yourself.

Yes, I am a doctor. No way for me to prove that to you here but, so what? I gave you the best advice ever. TAKE CARE OF YOUR DICK. Go see a doctor.

Animby the DOC in question has years of studying and combating STDs but you made some good points...

Based on the guy's name, he probably is the world expert on hand jobs (maybe).

Said report says it all.....said handjob was most certainly more of a sexual experience because said prostitute smeared said cream on said vagina....probably transmitting said STD. BUT....Get some mediacal attention!! (even if it is a said fungus.....you need some said cream yourself)

Hey Doc!

Would one consider a wart on your dick from a HJ, considered a STD?

Doctors are known to be very technical and lacking in common sense. One skin specialist told me that it was impossible to have acne (pimples) under my hair on the back of the head and therefore it was dandruff. Later another skin specialist confirmed it was the same as acne but they had a different technical name for it above the hairline.

Apparently Bill Clinton never had "sex" with that girl.
To me a handjob is still a "sex act" and any disease transimitted that way could be viewed as an STD.
Now the fungal infection called Thrush is often trasmitted by sexual acts, e.g. from guy's dick or mouth to girls pussy even though he may have no symptoms other than an itchy dick.
I think thrush is not classiifed as an STD but is still transmittable that way.

Chlamydia is certainly an STD and easily transmitted, far more easily than many doctors believe, and I have got it twice despite using condoms , once by BBBJ and once in the eye by contaminated hand.

Further more, doctors are very skeptical as to whether patients are telling the full truth about how they might have got an STD, so they tend to discount the weirder cases as "patient probably omitting important details"
But once you catch it yourself, your knowledge is enhanced greatly about what is possible.

Jeez, get a life you guys. Why the endless debate? If you got something wrong with your dick, don't waste energy on where or from who or why you got it. Get it seen to immediately.

If not, then our esteemed moderator Jackson might have to start a new forum titled Dickless Sex. Or Orgasms for Amputees.

Any illness or condition you get while having sex is, broadly speaking, a sexually transmitted disease. Some STDs are ONLY transmitted in the course of sexual activity and that's what the doctors consider an STD.

A host of other things MAY be transmitted. Ask the bloke who got gonorrhea in his eye from rubbing it with his finger after putting it in some pussy. Or the person who got fungal infection in his nose from SATY. Sniffing at the Y.

And now to STI. Sexually Transmitted Injury.

I had a very enthusiastic HJ from my current girl friend a few days ago. She had a ring on one of her fingers which scratched the skin on the bobbly bit just below the head of my dick (I guess technically, for all you technically minded pedants, I mean the scar tissue from my circumcision.)

It swelled up real good and was quite painful. To add insult to injury (sexually transmitted injury, that is) I also got a condition quaintly described as "cock strain" by my family doctor when I had it for the first time as a teenager. (Young and dumb and full of come.)

This manifests itself in the feeling that my dick had been through a wringer.

The treatment? Ointment on the swollen bobbly bit. Abstinence for the cock strain.

I'm happy to report that both conditions have been cured.

[QUOTE=Lover Boy #2]Did you stick your tongue deep inside her and drink her juice...or did you just briefly tickle her clit with your tongue? Did you notice if she was shooting her fluid (squirt) into your mouth....or did you just lick her lips briefly and avoid entry of body fluids? I have more questions after you answer these.[/QUOTE]Tongue was deep inside, didn't drink anything.

In terms of DATY, the risky part is micro abrasions in your mouth getting infected vaginal fluid into it right?

I had always assumed that not brushing your teeth before was enough, that the mouth is a hostile place for germs/viruses.

[QUOTE=Bal541]Tongue was deep inside, didn't drink anything.[/QUOTE]

I think with tongue deep inside...anything is possible....not trying to add to your scare, but it is unprotected and a vehicle of body fluid to new host. If she was bleeding, this would have a higher transmission factor due to certain body fluids carrying a higher viral load. An old German ***** monger once told me to resist deep tongue penetration at all costs (this was pre-HIV and the guy is still fucking according to recent reports on the Germany forum)....so it is probably a good advice. Chances are nothing will happen (over 90%)....but it is all a crapshoot when you get yourself into the body fluids at that level. Good luck......maybe get tested in a few months and then you will be confident that nothing happened.

Its not really about what is "possible", as all of life is a crap-shoot.
Its more about statistical odds.
There is little if any data about people catching HIV from DATY.
So statistically it is either non-existent or so unlikely as to not be worth worrying about. I mean being struck by lightning is a more significant worry.

By mouth is an easy way to catch some viruses, e.g. the flu, and bacteria, but fortunately HIV is not one of them.
I have never caught anything from DATY to my knowledge despite deep tonguing.
I must assume (from very limited data) that a BBBJ (receiving oral) is more risky than giving oral, since I got Chlamydia from a BBBJ once.
DFK is very risky as plentiful colds and flu viruses are caught easily.

[QUOTE=Mick Licker]I must assume (from very limited data) that a BBBJ (receiving oral) is more risky than giving oral, since I got Chlamydia from a BBBJ once. [/QUOTE]From what I have read it is generally more STD risky for the lady giving a BBBJ than the guy recieving a BBBJ. Likewise for BBFS the lady is more in danger. And I would guess that performing DATY is more risky than getting a BBBJ.

BTW I have had dozens of BBBJs from various SWs and never caught anything but teeth marks. But I do not practice BBFS or DATY and have ceased from getting BBBJs due to the potential consequences.

What about genital herpes? This is something incurable, and condoms do not protect from this. It is also difficult to tell if a woman is having it. Does anyon know if this is a common disease in thai?
