Question : Hello, I just recently masturbated with a store-bought marker, prior to masturbation I wiped the marker down with a wet wipe. Is there any possibility that I can contract an STD by this masturbation? I'm very embarrassed
Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hi!
Welcome to health care magic!
I am Dr. Saddiq Ul Abidin. I have read your problem in detail and will try to help you in best way possible.
First of all, let me reassure you one thing, that STDs don't spread this way, though such markers can be contaminated with other bacteria and can give urinary tract infection on local inflammation with staph or strep bacteria. You can use vaginal antibacterial washes for this purpose to be on the safe side.
So if you are compelled to use assistance, try using safer devices cleaned or sterilised.
I would also like to reassure you dear that masturbation is a natural process, and you don't need to feel guilty for that. I would still suggest you to use safer alternatives like massaging clitoris. Many people have not felt orgasms in their life time whike having sex except during masturbation.
It has shown to decrease stress and deprivement in general.
Hope this has answered your query, if you have any more questions, feel free to ask. kindly rate me before closing, and leave your feedback if possible. You can ask your questions directly through my profile.
Regards,
Dr. Saddiq Ul abidin.
