Question
hello,
as a sexual and overall healthy male (who would like to stay as healthy), there are certain question that i wonder about or forgot the answers to. Such as; are all std's acquired  from the sharing of DNA or can they be transferred from skin to skin contact? or even, will only the skin on my penis be protected if a condom is used (from herpes?)

also feel free to include all answers/questions that were not written by me.

thank you

Answer
I don't know all the answers and I'm not sure what you mean by some of your question. I personally don't believe that condoms protect from STDs or pregnancy. I have read studies that back that theory up. I will try to find some links for you.

I don't necessarily believe all the information on these pages but it will give you some helpful information.
