Home / Answered Questions / Hello, I am a straight male. I would like to ask the possibility of getting any STI or disease from erotic massage from a professional masseuse. The massage is practiced when both the masseuse and the receiver are completely naked. It includes a shower together, lady massaging the man’s entire body, penis being in contact with her hands and breasts. The massage ends with ejavulation by handjob or between her breasts. I would appreciate if you let me know the risk involved in this practice, and how to make it safer. Thank you.

Erotic massage is considered a relatively safe activity when it comes to passing STIs.

There are some infections that you still have to be aware of that can be passed through skin to skin contact. These are Herpes, Syphilis, Molluscum Contagiosum and HPV. These are most often passed through oral to genital or genital to genital contact but there is a small risk that these infections could pass through oral to skin or genital to skin contact; In other words, if a person who has the herpes virus on their genitals is rubbing their genitals against the skin on your leg the virus could pass to you. This is not typically how we see these infections being passed but there are cases where it has happened.

To make massage safer, avoid contact with the genitals or the mouth of the person giving you the massage.
