A member asked:

Body to body massage from tantric masseuses using an outcall service. they would be naked and finish with handjob. is there a herpes risk?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: The risk is very low. You did a smart thing to play safe. Everybody explores. This stuff gets old very fast when there's not a real romantic relationship. If you do go further, use barrier protection for both of your safety.
