Bro, I get it. When you don’t have a lot of experience with this stuff, it’s easy to overthink. But straight up—there’s no way you can get an STD from yourself. It’s like asking if you can catch a cold from your own breath. STDs require an external source, meaning another person who is already infected.
What you could get from a dirty shower is a skin infection or irritation if there’s mold, bacteria, or other nasty stuff in there. But that’s a hygiene issue, not an STD problem. If your shower is clean and you’re not exposing open wounds to dirty surfaces, there’s nothing to worry about.
Think about it this way—if STDs could form from semen being exposed to the air or water, we’d have a global crisis of people randomly getting infected for no reason. But that doesn’t happen. That’s because STDs require a specific set of circumstances to spread, none of which apply to your situation.
My advice? Stop stressing over it. If you’re going to worry about anything, focus on learning the basics of sexual health so you don’t have to deal with unnecessary paranoia. Once you start meeting women and getting experience, you’ll realize that a lot of these fears are just myths or misunderstandings.
