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?

Update: I went to the doctor 2 days ago. They tested my urine and it came back normal, I don't have a UTI or any other infection detectable by urine sample. However, they recommended I see a Urologist which I'm going to do on May 20th.

My symptoms haven't changed, other than I have been having to urinate more frequently like 5-6 times a day, and despite feeling the need to urinate not much comes out. I feel like this is mainly me psyching myself out.

I have also notice 4 triggers
- Orgasm (Which I haven't done in days)
- Urination
- Extended Periods of Walking
- Vibrations (For example, when I play my guitar for a period of time, or riding in a car)

This started happening to me about 4 days ago. I'm 21 and, to my knowledge, relatively healthy. The cell-phone like vibration first appeared after an orgasm. it lasted maybe 4 or 5 minutes afterwards, but I didn't think much of it, I thought maybe I just pinched a nerve or something. But then I notice it also happens when I urinate. Urinating isn't painful, it just triggers the vibrations for a minute or so afterwards. I am also a musician, and last night I played a gig, the vibrations from my guitar seemed to trigger it as well. I'm kind of freaking out and embarrassed about this...

To tell you a little more about it these sensations, which can be either slightly painful or enjoyable, are induced to use it as means for "stick and carrot" conditioning. These sensations can be triggered by actions, thoughts, feelings. For example if you listened to some "feminisation" hypnosis and have a vibration when you sit down, it can mean that the hypnotist installed a trigger in you that makes you feel the vibe when you sit down. Or it can have to do with using your computer etc.

And this sh*t is all over the internet. Like I said it can be in every single audio track that you listen on the internet. And the reason why this is so is simple. Due to an increasing number of people who seem to understand video and audio manipulation better and better nowadays, they adjust their means of manipulation so there you go.

You can laugh now and call it conspiracy theory or you can just look for some hypnosis vids on youtube and test a little bit what happens to you and then try and be aware when you watch or listen some other stuff and feel the same things.

Penis vibration mostly cured.  Just want to thank everyone for their posts.  I thought I was dying.  Maybe I had brain, spinal, or penile cancer. Reading your posts I believe saved me a lot of wasted time and medical examination costs.   I am a firm believer in doctors but again think I have cured myself so I wanted to pass this on as soon as I could.  I have had significant and growing vibrations near the end of my penis for 2 weeks now and the severity is starting to impact my daily life. Reading that some of us have suffered for more than a year really made me think that all hope was lost.  Then last night I did something to change that.  I have reduced these vibrations in one day by what I would estimate to be 75% and am hopeful it will go back to normal before the vibrations started.  Why I think what I did works is based on the fact that men have the prostatic uricle where women have the uterus. These vibrations we are all feeling are what I believe to be contractions.  One thing I didn’t think of until recently is I hadn’t had any type of sex for a few weeks.  That is unusual as I typically have it once  a week with my wife and 2-3 times a week solo.  I believe something was stuck/backed up as a result of this change. The vibrations are the body’s way of clearing out this obstruction.  Again, just a theory.  What I did?  Need to masturbate (2nd time is where I saw the benefits) and when you are climaxing need to continue to work where in the past you may have just relaxed and enjoyed the moment.  It is almost painful at the very last moment.  It’s not painful because you are pulling so hard but just because of the intensity and I think the pain you are feeling is the obstruction being removed.  I had immediate decrease in symptoms afterwards.  Good luck!
