From what you describe, it is most likely that these bumps are papules - small, white or flesh-colored, harmless bumps that appear on our skin. Some men have these bumps on their penis and/or testicles. They're perfectly natural and are not due to masturbation.
If there is any chance that these bumps could be an STD, namely genital warts, then you should have them examined by a physician. Genital warts can be contracted via infected towels or clothing. While highly unlikely, it may be worth having these bumps checked out if you feel that you have been exposed.
