I’m anxious

Unread post by sky »

So I was idk what you would call it but I was playing with my clit and then I switched positions and I forgot which hand I was using but then I started touching my lip to reach climax and I think I was using the original hand to touch my lips and then I freaked out when I realized and didn’t do it again and then I cleaned my lips a few times (with clean hands). I’ve never been sexually active so there’s like no way that there’s an std or sti in there but my anxiety kicked up and I’m convinced I’m gonna wake up tomorrow with an infection or something. It’s probably not important but like am I going to be okay you think?

Touching your lips in the middle of masturbating isn't going to be harmful for you, no. We do recommend people wash their hands before masturbating just because it's good to touch your genitals with clean hands, but touching your face or another part of your body and then touching yourself again is okay!
It sounds like this has really set off your anxiety; are there things you've found to be helpful when you're struggling in a really anxious moment? It might be good to go do something soothing for yourself right now, take some deep breaths, and remind yourself that you're fine. :)

So just to clarify, if I touch myself and then touch my lips and then touch myself it’s okay? I feel so crappy saying this to you.

I’ve been trying to forget about it all day but it keeps coming up lol

I'm sorry it's so stressful to ask these questions, but we certainly don't mind them so please don't feel bad on our account. And yes, it's totally okay. Try and remind yourself, if these thoughts come back, that you didn't do anything wrong or unsafe.
