I have some questions...

Things I have always wondered about:

1) I know most women have one boob bigger than the other, but why during their cycle when the boobs swell does one sometimes swell a LOT more than the other? Most times for me the swelling is equal but sometimes one swells the normal amount and the other swells to double the size. It's really weird and I just am thankful I have small boobs when this happens so the double in size thing is not as noticeable!
2) The veins on the balls of some men are bright red, to the point that they look like blood on top of the surface of the skin, not under it. Why is this? I have seen this with men of all ages and even had a boyfriend when I was 18 who was like this. I do not believe it is related to stds because that boyfriend and I were both tested together and neg for everything but I've always wondered.
3) Since doing massage I've learned that lots of men have small marble sized fat deposits, mostly on their lower back sitting on top of the sacrum. I asked several and they all knew about them and told me their doc said they were fat deposits. Do women get these too? And is this a concern? Now that I know what they feel like I can usually tell that is what a bump in this area is but I don't know if it is important for me to inform the client or if they are benign and not to be worried about.
4) What is the std risk to a woman of a woman touching a man with her hands, putting a condom on him and then having sex? Would wiping hands on a towel between touching him and the condom help or should she be using an anti-bacterial wipe? And if so will this wipe harm the condom if there is residue left on her hands?


Thank you

Health Nurse, when you have a moment I am still very interested in this info:

No worries! Whenever you get a chance, I just saw it trickling to the bottom and wanted to post a reminder

Hi Katlyn

Let me know if I got this correct. The concern is that you have touched a penis and then while putting the condom on you possibly put something from your hands on the outside of the condom which would go inside you.

I have not been able to find any information that looks at possible risk. We know that STI do not seem to transfer well when they go from genital to hand to genital. So given that it is going to hand to condom to genital I think that the risk would be very low and I have not heard of infections passing that way.

At the same time it makes total sense that if you are touching someone else’s genitals or possible infectious fluid that you would want to wash your hands before touching your own body or the condom that will go into your body.

A product that you could use is a hand cleaning gel like Isagel. It is what we use at work; it is cheap and ok with latex.

Health Canada does not recommend using antibacterial soap or products as it contributes to drug resistance. Soap and water works well when washing your hands.

Yep that was exactly my question And thank you for posting a cleanser that is okay with latex (I assume polyeurothane as well?)

Thank you, it's so helpful!
