Question
okay well i have been dating my boyfriend michael for a month and we have not had any kind of sexual intercourse.
but my friend julius who i thought was a homosexual kissed me and i did not kiss back i pulled away
but then he showed me his penis and there were very many bumps(looked like skin tags)all around the heasd of his penis
i told my boyfriend how he attempted to make out with me
and is not angry
but i am worried because julius might have given me something when he kissed me
can you get a veneral disease from someone kissing you and what kind of disease do you think julius has?
julius is black so i could not tell if they had a color
my boyfriend michael is white and we do not have any kind of sex
please help!

Answer
Tiffany,

No, you cannot get any sexually transmitted diseases from kissing, unless you both had open sores in your mouths, which isn't very likely.

As for the bumps around the head of his penis that looked like skin tags, it could be genital warts,herpes, or most likely it is just oil glands which most guys have surrounding the heads of their penises.

No matter what Julius has, if anything, the important thing is that there is no way he could pass anything to you by trying to kiss you.

Hope I could put your mind at ease!

Stay safe,
Lyndsay
