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 this problem--is there a YouTube video where you could demo this stretch? I'm not sure I am grasping the stretching technique.
Thanks!
Thanks!
I have read lots of the replies and frankly I am going to ignore most of them, I have also had Chronic Prostatitis on and off for over 25 years but never had a vibration in the penis from it.
I have been masturbating my penis for over 57 years and notice that if I do it to much I get the vibrations in my penis, it comes and goes but only when I have been masturbating a lot.
I would suggest that when you get the penis vibration give masturbation a miss for a few days, maybe masturbate less and enjoy it more with less stimulation.

Im so glad i found this forum, i was kinda losing it yesterday when this stated happening.
Im 23, years old, first noticed it yesterday after i masturbated, i also saw at least 2 other people mention that is when they first noticed it as well. I took the time to read most of this thread, i have tried the hot bath today. Hoping that will help over the course of this week. I am not on any medication, i dont do drugs, i drink on weekends but i cant see any correlation there.
I also saw some posts about magnesium cream of sorts, also just taking the actual supplement in doses which lessens muscle spasms etc.
I havent made any Doc Appts yet, if it worsens i will, but its pain free, its most of a an annoyance factor than anything. Mostly when im sitting down or laying down, sometimes while standing up but barely. Anyway, if anyone has any other information it would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Hi, I really appreciate your posts on this issue. The "vibrating penis" just started happening to me last night. In light of what you have learned, my question is this : do you think this could possibly be caused by severe constipation possibly putting pressure on a nerve? I have been on Suboxone 8/2 @ 16mg a day for about 6 years. I battle constipation regularly.
Last night my wife and I were having sex, I was on my back (forgive the details but I thought them important) and I kept feeling a stabbing pain in my right abdomen, about two inches above where the testicle ascends to during ejaculation. I have also had a hernia repair on that side much earlier this year (around springtime 2013) and had only mild problems of inflamation and hard clotting around the epididymis and ductus deferens wich went away slowly over a couple of months - my hernia was VERY large and I had been livimg with it for about 30 years (since about 3 or 4 years old).
Thanks!

weird thanks giving i was standing i felt a vibrating in the head of my penis and after i took a shower and it went a way as i dried off i felt it in my lower calf above the back of my ankle and tonite its back in my penis so i thought i would look it up vibrating in the head of my penis like a cell phone vibating.but i also indulge in anal penatration could that have anything to do with it
This is defiantly from the nerves in your spine. I have a spinal injury that effected my spine between the s2 and s4 and have this same problem. I highly recommend an MRI to see if you may be getting arthritis or sciatica or even scoliosis. I have bulges in 2 disks and a tear in another. See your doctor and get their advice to remedy this problem. This could lead to even more painful and possibly permanent problems if not taken care of!

STDs can't be transmitted by casual contact, like hugging or touching.
Syphilis is an STD that is transmitted by oral, genital and anal sex.
Discharge often isn't normal, and could mean an infection or an STD.
Chlamydia, an STI, often has no symptoms, but must be treated.
Bumps in the genital area might be STDs, but are usually not serious.
Get the facts about this disease that affects more than 240,000 men each year.
