A member asked:

But can you contract herpes from dry humping with clothes on. will the chances increase when the girl becomes "wet?" or has had a vaginal secretion from being sexually stimulated?

Very unlikely: Herpes virus is transmitted by a direct physical contact. By the way, it is possible to catch genital herpes caused by herpes type 1 virus (typically called "cold sores" or "fever blisters") through oral sex.
