Hi,
I had sex last night with a person I do
not know - not something I usually do.
They were performing oral sex on me and
were a little rough. I looked down and
saw blood on my hands from holding my
penis. One one side of my penis it had
tiny abrasion marks (similar to a light
graze you would get on the knee, but it
bled a fair amount whilst my penis had
been erect. I have noticed in the past
that the area under my foreskin is
sometimes a little raw and having
masterbated earlier that day I wondered if
it was due to over use. I shower daily
(+almost daily shower after sport) and
always wash under my foreskin.
I have 2 questions, the most serious of
which is about what can be passed to me by
another persons mouth. I am very
confident of my sexual health, but I do
not know about the other person. We had a
chat as we were both alarmed and they told
me they were clean in every way. Could
you tell me the risks in this case?
Also, why is my penis sometimes raw under
the foreskin?

Sexual behavior such as unprotected oral
sex is considered risky behavior.
Abrasions and wounds on the skin of the
penis represent open doors for various
infective agents that originate in your
partner’s mouth and be transmitted to
you. The mouth is full of bacteria that
can cause local skin infection if the skin
is injured, as in your case. Some
infections, however, require “blood to
blood” contact before becoming
transmittable... which means that in
addition to abrasions on your penis’s
skin, your partner must also have damaged
mucosa in her mouth (erosions, bleeding
gums etc.).
The second question can’t be answered
without a physical examination of the
penis.
