STI risk

[Ryan7755]

First of all I have just recently discovered this website and it helped me immensely with knowledge about sex, so I thank you guys.

Now I have discovered a weird kink recently and I'm worried about the risks. I taken to like ingesting my own Seman as well as ejaculating it on my face while masturbating alone. Can I get a STI from this? Should I stop this behavior or take measures to reduce the risk?

Hey Ryan -- welcome to Scarleteen, I'm glad you've found some helpful stuff on our site.

No, you can't get a STI from yourself and this is safe for you to do. If you did this with a partner though, this is a way someone could get a STI if one of you had one. STIs don't materialize just from two people having sex, minimum one person would need to have a STI in order for there to be a risk. Check out this resource for more information.

Do you have any more questions?

No, Thank you for the Swift Reply. I know it might be an odd question to have to answer but I am always concerned about my safety when it comes to STIs and I don't want to expose myself to certain risks
