Can dry humping with clothes on transmit STDs?

Someone asked us:

Can dry humping , while clothed cause std’s to be transmitted ??

For the most part, no. Dry humping with clothes on is super safe (hooray!) as long as your genitals are fully covered by the clothes you’re wearing.

Dry humping in jeans or shorts or anything that fully covers you is risk-free. Dry humping in underwear that doesn’t totally cover your genital area may not totally prevent skin-to-skin genital contact or keep genital fluids off of each other. This ups the chances of transmitting certain STDs a little bit, but is still safer than full-on naked genital rubbing.

Some STDs, like herpes and HPV, are spread by skin-to-skin genital touching. These STDs can live on areas in the genital region that underwear may not cover (like the upper thighs or buttocks). So it’s unlikely, but still possible, for dry humping to spread STDs if your entire crotch area isn’t covered by clothing.

And let’s not forget the “dry” in “dry humping.” STDs can also be spread through semen (cum), pre-cum, and vaginal fluids. Clothes can help prevent you and your partner from exchanging body fluids, but again, if these body fluids find their way to each other’s genitals, STDs can be transmitted. It’s possible for these fluids to soak through one layer of underwear, but it’s nearly impossible for them to soak through two pairs of underwear and pants.

Male privilege is feeling so entitled to getting whatever you want that you argue with women over the right to call yourself a feminist, because you don’t like the sound of “feminist ally”, thus proving that your biggest priority in the feminist movement is yourself.

If you ever date an asexual person be sure to get the specifics of their asexuality because the level of comfort with physical contact is different for all of us.

women grow hair on their boobs and their butts and their legs and their arms and their stomachs and their face and really anywhere their genetics decides to have hair and it is perfectly normal what isnt normal is men who have never touched a razor trying to shame women for not looking like a hairless baby

This was kind of fun to go through and just imagine the situations. I know I have definitely experienced a few of them.

This is a great way to show good consent and no consent.

You really have to see this absolutely beautiful trailer for The Legend of Korra - Book 2 airing this fall on Nickelodeon. The first season had some serious issues but I’ve got my fingers crossed that Book 2 will turn things around.

Using two condoms at the same time can increase your protection. False. The friction between the two condoms can actually cause them to tear. 

If you are allergic to latex, you can’t use condoms. False. There are alternative to latex condoms, including Polyurethane condoms, Polyisoprene condoms, and FC2 (the female condom).

Condoms can’t be found in my size. False. Condoms come in different sizes, and the stretch to fit the form of the penis. 

Condoms break too easily. False. The Magnum XL condom can hold 7 gallons of water. 

Condoms decrease sensation. False. Pleasure is subjective. Some say that condoms increase pleasure by desensitizing the penis so sex can last longer (which is why there is a market for thick condoms). Also there is ribbed condoms, or thin condoms that can increase pleasure. 

You can use flavoured condoms during vaginal sex. False. It is not recommended because the sugars from the flavoured condom can cause a vaginal infection. 

You can use any lube with condoms. False. Oil based lube can damage latex condoms, which can cause them to tear. Use water based lube with condoms. 

You must be over 18 years old to buy condoms. False. There is no age restriction. 

Condoms are 100% safe against STDs. False. Even if you use a condom properly, other parts of genitalia can come into contact, and spread an STD.

Keeping a condom on you at all times if a good idea. False. Heat and pressure could cause the breakdown of the condom to accelerate. The expiry date gives a good indicator of when a condom should expire in proper conditions, so make sure you keep it in proper conditions.
