What is the chance of genital herpes if you masturbate with unwashed hands? lets say you come home from work and you have touched objects which potentially had hsv on their surface before and you start masturbating?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not in the supposition and scenario you describe. Always good to wash your hands for hygienic purposes.
