A member asked:

Can i still masturbate on my bed while having a cold sore? this is kind of stupid to say, but will i pass my cold sore to my penis if i masturbate while having a cold sore?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

wash your hands prior to masturbation. No you will not pass it to your penis if you are careful.
