Can you get an STD from mutual masturbation?

Generally speaking, it would be possible as there is close bodily contact and an exchange of body fluids is possible as well as the "risk of getting carried away", throwing all caution into the wind, because there is this very strong natural desire to have sex "all the way". I think, the best solution would be to talk openly about the subject with your partner about the subject, get the necessary STD tests done by a health professional and if both partners are clear of any STD, then why not enjoy sex any way you like! And while you are talking and consulting, make sure you talk about contraception as well if you don't want to have a baby just yet.

If you feel embarrassed in any way to talk about sex, try to overcome it! This is the 21st century! ;) As always, better be safe than sorry, talking about sex upfront is voluntary, but after the "accident" it is obligatory!

To be completely safe, if you know your partner has an STD I would refrain from touching your partners genitals. Most STD's can be transferred through the skin, so in answer to your question, yes, you can indeed contract an STD from a partner. You have to worry about yourself first and the mere chance of being able to pass the STD to you, should stop you in your tracks.

You can mutually masturbate without touching each other's genitals. Even then I would be very careful about cleaning the bedsheets carefully. If your partner has an STD or suspects that they may, they should immediately go to a doctor to see if treatment is available.

Your best best is to refrain from any type of sex, even masturbation until the STD is taken care of.

Not for all Sexually Transmitted Diseases but generally yes if there are contacts.

I can not say for all STD's but I can speak on terms of AIDS and Hepatitis C. AIDS requires fluid absorption directly into the body. Kissing is only dangerous if the uninfected person has an open cut in their mouth and even then its difficult.

The acids and enzymes in your saliva are quite deadly to germs and the like. You would potentially have to have an open cut on your hands, no expulsion of blood or plasma from the cut, and constant submersion of live fluid to the cut. AIDS has less than a second of external lifespan (exposed to air).

It is extremely symbiotic in nature. Hep C however... that can live in a drop of water for up to 21 days. With that said, practically any fluid contact becomes potentially dangerous... and not necessarily right away.

I believe others are more and less dangerous, but I don't know so much about them. Not a tattooist's concern. Heh.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
