Can you masterbate after being treated for a std?

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Can't see why not: I would not imagine that it would be a problem, but why don't you ask the doctor who treated the std. That office may provide a information hand-out to insure that patients know what to expect and what to avoid or do to promote the best recovery. Best wishes!
