A serious question on masturbation...?

Question:

I've heard that self-masturbation is a healthy activity. However, I've also read that diseases like HPV (the one with warts) and others are caused by skin-to-skin contact during sex: the infected skin of one-person rubs against the skin of the other person and transfers the virus. So, just out of curiosity, can't your hand (if it happens to have the virus on it...but not necassarily infected by it) transmit the disease.

Or what if a person's really horny and start rubbing themselves on and humping, I dunno, use your imagination: germs are everywhere: can't they possibly get a std?

Basically, can virgins get STDs (except crabs 'cause they can be transmitted by sharing of underwear...gross) if only engaging in self-masturbation?

I know, it sounds stupid, but I'm really curious. Hmm...

Thanks.

Answers:
Most germs cannot live long in the open air or away from the body.

You have to come in contact with something that is infected to give yourself an STD.

Diseases like that via masturbation are rare indeed

you monkey beater!
