Yes, you can get warts on your genitals that don't necessarily come from sex. Genital warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), which is a common virus that can be spread through skin-to-skin contact or even sharing towels and other personal items in some cases. So it's possible to develop genital warts without having sexual contact with an infected individual. HPV strains responsible for genital warts are highly contagious and can be transmitted through various means beyond just sexual activity.
If you have concerns about any symptoms on your genitals, including what appears to be a wart, it would still be beneficial to consult with a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and treatment recommendations.
