Hi and thanks for your question. Because you are a virgin, your chances of having an STI (sexually transmitted infection) are actually quite low. However, genital warts are very contagious and are transmitted by skin to skin contact, which may include touching an infected person's warts and then masturbating. Warts, however, are not pus filled bumps and so you may just have pimples in your genital area which are quite common due to pubic hair growth and pores getting clogged. I recommend that both you and your partner see a doctor or visit a clinic and get tested for STI's and have a visual examination done. Only a doctor or a clinician will be able to tell you for sure what you are experiencing. Best of luck to you, and take care, M. Scott Gross
