Question
prostitute did oral sex for me with condom...n proceed with vaginal sex.throughout the process, i used my hand to align my penis when changing positions/came off.when i couldn't ejaculate...

1st encounter - i took off with same hand, and masturbate myself with it..ocassionally touching her clitoris and masturbating again

2nd encounter - she took off the condom herself and use her hand to masturbate me straightaway

so am i at significant risk at both events?....regards

Answer
Hello Mike!

Welcome to AllExperts!

Thank you so much for the question.

Vaginal fluid is always considered infectious. In both the instances, though the chance of being infected is very less, I can nullify the risk of being infected with STIs. We can work together better if you describe more about the incident and make more specific suggestions.

Best regards,
