Will masturbation promote the spread of warts?

It seems if you are rubbing your genitals the hpv virus is more likely to spread around the area. Does anyone else know if this is true or not?

It might and probably does but I
haven't seen anything drastic happen
and I do it often since I'm not having
any sex. I guess it's better than
infecting others???

Rubbing is known to stimulate wart
growth. So do moisturizers. BUT...as
you pointed out, what the heck are we
supposed to do? Try masturbating when
the symptoms are not there...you know,
between wart eruptions?

I didn't know about the whole
moisturizers thing....where did you
hear that?? I wonder why that is
true...

I would think it's true because I was
having protected sex with my ex-
boyfriend and we were using lube-I
found that I couldn't get wet when I
had an outbreak-and it would just make
it worse. Maybe because there
contagious and the virus spreads easier?

Warts like moist areas in general : (
I think that's why guys who have hpv
virus on the tips of their penis don't
generally have outbreaks because it's
nice and dry there, whereas a
vagina....!!!

i don't know about moisturizers, but
i've heard that cortizone creams are
like putting fertilizer on your warts.

mine right away :-)
