What is HSV 2?

HSV 1 is the virus that causes oral herpes which is what causes cold sores and fever blisters on the mouth. HSV2 causes genital herpes, usually located on the genitals, inner thighs, buttocks or anus. But HSV1 can affect the genitals. If some one with a visible cold sore gives their partner oral sex they could pass cold sores to their partners genitals. Also HSV2 can affect the mouth. If some one gives their partner oral sex around the time they have a break out of herpes then they could pass genital herpes to their partners mouth.

How easy is it to pass herpes from a cold sore to yourself?

Since it is unlikely that you could put your own mouth to your own genitals, it is unlikely that you can give yourself genital herpes from your own cold sores. The virus is spread by skin-to-skin contact with an infected person, at the location where the virus is active, during a time when they are shedding virus.

Unlikely to happen. Fever blisters don't like to occur away from the mouth. It's very rare to get herpes on the chest or away from the mouth or genitals.

If you have herpes and your partner does too but you are not breakin out can you kiss?

I haven't heard or read anywhere that HSV I, cold sores on the mouth, can be transmitted even when there are no cold sores present, but HSV II, genital herpes, CAN still be spread even when no sores are present on the genitals. That seems a little confusing. It is called "shedding." I would ask the family doctor. And just a reminder to others: you cannot catch genital herpes just by kissing someone who is having an outbreak. Cold sores on the mouth (HSV I) are not quite the same as sores on the genitals (HSVII) There is now more investigation into whether or not oral herpes can be spread to the genitals, also that genital herpes can be transmitted orally. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) is doing further research into it, but it does now seems possible that the two strains of the virus may have the potential for cross-contamination. I haven't found any information as to what this means and if the two viruses can transmutate into the other.
