Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query and the images you have uploaded.
as per the images it is not looking like HPV associated lesion. It might be a normal variant or even prominent minor salivary glands.
Nothing to be panic, if any further changes are there in the lesions then you can get a biopsy done to check for HPV DNA. I wanted one more information from you, have you got any blood investigations done previously or are you diagnosed previously with HPV infection?
If not get a complete blood investigations done.

Nothing to be panic, biopsy to confirm the diagnosis
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your reply. If you are not diagnosed with HPV infection then nothing to worry. You can just wait and watch. For your sexual problems you can consult a physician and get it evaluated.
Warts will not appear like this this looks more like multiple papules. Nothing to be panic. If you still want to confirm the diagnosis then get a biopsy of the lesion done.
