good evening, i am wondering what the risk for contracting an std from receiving masturbation from a women. i had a breif 3 minute encounter.

Low risk: Low or virtually no risk for contracting a STD if your  mouth or penis not coming into contact with the vaginal or oral secretions of your partner.

Question 8

is it possible to  give yourself an std from saliva lubrication during masturbation?

Accepted Answer

Doubtful: That could only occur if you already had an infection in your oral cavity due to one of the many organisms that can be sexually transmitted, and even then, saliva is inhibitory to many microorganisms.  You should be fine.

Question 9

underside of penis gets red and irritated after masterbation? std?

Accepted Answer

Not unless hand: Is infected. Force of stimulation, lack of lubrication, 'friction-burn' all more likely. If you were to repeat the action you use on your penis to your arm, you would likely see a less severe, but similar result--simple friction. The tissues of the penis are very sensitive (but you already know that!) and loaded with small blood vessels that can be injured when abused.

Question 10

i have a few horizontal tears on the glans as a result of dry masterbation (i don't suspect std's). how could i take care of these tears? there is also a small scare on the meatus that is not closing?
p.s. my urologist said its nothing important 
tnx?

Accepted Answer

: Good new if your urologist says it is nothing important!  You can usually treat small tears with just topical antibiotic ointment for a few days and give the tears a chance to heal for 5-7 days or so.
