okay, for the last 3 or so days i have been experiencing a very mild, irritating sensation around my scrotum, private areas.. its not burning, and not intense enough for me to want to itch. just VERY annoying. i can not focus my mind on anything other than the tingling sensation. its at the point where it keeps me up and at 3 am i search the net and eventually post here at 4 am.

i have looked at photos on the net, and can safely say that i have not yet detected any major symptoms during my self check.

now, i may just be worrying about the whole thing way too much. i dont know what is going on. its the first time ive ever experience this. plus, i have narrowed the possible cause for my 'problems'...

the act: mutual masterbation. i met a girl and she ended up pleasuring me. no oral or vaginal contact what so ever. it was masterbation, her hand being the only part of her body making contact with my skin. in addition, she did not touch herself, then me. i did not touch her at all, except through her clothing (not sure if that "counts"). i could feel that she was moist though. my hand my have made contact with myself after feeling her moist through the clothing. (in addition, we did not kiss)

is it possible to get H from the act mentioned above? am i worrying about nothing? if not, what could i possibly be experiencing?


thank you,
a concerned guy
Is it possible to detect H in the blood within a couple days of getting it?

Herpes is spread through skin to skin contact so if you touched her through her clothing then you did not have any skin to skin contact. If you have had any sexual activity in the past including oral you should get a herpes blood test to be sure all is well. Herpes can lay dormant for months to years. However, I think there is no way you got herpes from the above encounter.
