faint vibrating/buzzing/spasm in penis
For the last week or so now I have had a very slight, high-frequency vibrating sensation in my penis (it feels like it is in my urethra, from about the base of the glans to the base of the penis). It feels like varying degrees of the following sensations:
- a cellphone vibrating in my pocket
- a stream of fluid flowing through the urethra (without the sensation of exiting the glans)
It is not usually constant, but is rhythmic, that is, will come and go in intervals... much like a pulse or breathing, but it does not coincide with either. The rhythm varies, sometimes 1 second on and 1 second off; sometimes a few seconds of vibrations and a few second of stillness, and sometimes the vibrations are more constant, with slight variances in intensity (though always low intensity). It is neither painful nor pleasurable but is annoying. It is not associated with any other symptoms whatsoever: no discharges or skin, urine, or semen discolorations; no changes in consistency of urine, semen, or stool; no direct decrease in sexual function, although I am concerned that my worrying about it will decrease my ability to perform. The sensation is so slight that it is not noticeable when I am occupied with other activities, but it consumes me when I am still.
STDs are unlikely, as both my wife and I have never had any sexual partners other than each other. I have experinced no trauma to my penis, groin, or other structures that I am aware of. I am 30 years old, with no history of medical issues at all... no UTI, STD, PNE, nothing.
Does anyone know what this could be?

I have the exact same thing...the feeling of some sort of Pulsation in the penis area (similar to a cell phone vibration) I have a normal sex life, however, I am unable to urinate normally. Its been going on for about 2 months. Very week stream, I've also been constipated. Iv'e had a CT scan and cytoscope, both within the last month.
The most logical expalnation I have is that it is a muscle spasm, which restricts the urethra. Does anyone else have urination problems along with the vibration/spasm?

What you are describing is a little bit different than what I have experienced, in that I have no symptoms beyond the buzzing (and sometimes a little soreness). But I still think our problems may have similar roots. I don't think a muscle spasm would have much effect on the urethra, but I would guess the problem lies more with the prostate, prostatitis perhaps. Have you had anyone look at it yet? I would be very interested in what they say, as I bet you would get more attention with your additional physical symptoms than the rest of us have been able to get.
Have you read the thread that I pointed a couple other readers to? That thread eventually was closed due to reaching the maximim number of posts, but has a lot of shared experiences that might give you an idea of what to expect. Also, I started a new thread to continue the conversation from the old thread, entitled "Vibration sensation in penis (continued)" on 10/6/2006. I would encourage you to post your experience there as well, and let us know what you are able to find out, and what any doctors have said. Also, what do you do for a living? How old are you? Are you involved in any activities that put pressure on your perineum?

I visited this site tonight based on a google search "my penis vibrates". I have read a lot today on this topic and I see there are a lot of comics out there too. One thing I will be honest about is that if I masterbate many times in 1 day, the vibration happenes.
So, maybe ask yourself the same question... You never know.
Thanks

Same thing here... very faint. No pain at all just strange... like a cell phone vibration but not nearly as strong. I notice it more when I am laying down or sitting still. I am 33 and in good health with no STD's.
