      Hi Terri.
      A few months ago I had male to male frottage and mutual masturbation and also recieved oral .
      I got a sore underneath foreskin at topside of penis
      I was just wondering is it possible to get genital herpes from frottage and mutual masturbation .

      I think contracting HSV from frottage is very low and depends upon how much genital to genital contact there actually was. The mutual masturbation is not a risk. The oral sex is a risk. For sure. Was it unprotected? About 40% of new genital herpes is HSV 1, the virus that causes recurrent cold sores. Have you had the sore evaluated by anyone? If not, you should and have a swab test done, preferably a PCR, not a culture.

      I really don’t think I have ever seen a case of herpes with frottage, honestly, but it is possible.
      A herpes outbreak would usually last much longer than a few hours, more like days.

      This occassion tingle was a few days before redness .
      I will go and get bloods done .I just thought as the sore was top side of penis this would not have been near blokes genital as it would have been rubbing against me .
      but this did not look like images on google of genital herpes and it took a month exactly 1 month to heal on foreskin .

      That’s too bad, but I have had patients in the UK manage to get antibody testing. I’m not sure how, exactly. Some send serum to us for western blot testing, so that is also a possibility.
