Hi,

I wanted to ask if it is okay to clean my hands with sanitizer before touching my penis and masturbating or having sex?
Thank you.

Hi lokkke4,

I believe it's best for you to wash your hands with soap and water, rather than use hand sanitizer, before touching genitals, masturbating, or having sex. If you used hand sanitizer in the past and didn't experience issues, that's fine, but I recommend washing your hands with soap and water in the future! I hope this helps.
