I am 19 and a virgin and have no clue about the relation between STD's and being virgin. My girlfriend and I are both virgins and have never participated in any sexual act with others nor have kissed or had dry sex with others. Is it possible that virgins may carry STD's? Apart from the fact of getting pregnant, would my partner and I contract STD's even though we are both virgins?

PS: We do not plan on having penetrative sex 'till we feel ready for it.

I think you are on the wrong site,but good for you for exploring and keep it healthy by masturbating.Always good chioce

Wrong site? erm...not really...

No, he's on a great site!!

If both of you have been absolutely abstinent (orally, vaginally, and anally) then you should be pretty void of STDs (they're now calling them STIs - Sexually Transmitted Infections).

If you have any doubts, you and your partner could always go get tested for STDs, HIV, and AIDs at a local or area Planned Parenthood for no charge or for a small fee (sliding fee scale based on income).

There is absolutely NO shame in getting tested if you're a virgin. I am very impressed that you are both thinking ahead and being careful about your knowledge of STIs and other things related to sex. I'm so proud of you for being responsible!!

As long as neither of you have any STD before hand I don't see why you would be able to get anything from each other. There's a lot of diseases that may not show symptoms but they may carry it so if you really want ot make sure each other is in good shape get a check up.

Thanks for the feedback guys. It really helped.

You should still practice safe sex. You might have picked up an STD in another way (some can be transmitted non-sexually.)

It's just better not to run the risk, and to always practice safe sex.

have a female friend who wants to know where she & her bf can go to get an sti tests in south florida also about a test for his sperm count. any ideas?

A call or visit to their local County Health Dept will yield the answers applicable to their locality.

You shouldn't have any since you two are virgins (the second most likely source is if either of you were doing drugs and shared needles but that I assume is incredibly unlikely). If you want you can always get tested to make sure.

Why on earth would he be on the wrong site?
