Penis licked

[Worldman]

Hi,

Friday I got the tip of my penis licked for about 5 seconds.

Any risk here?

Skight burn a few minutes after I have pee'd...

A quick lick to the penis isn't going to transmit anything.

I don't know why you'd have burning with urination, but it's not an STI from this encounter.

[Worldman]

Even though it was the tip (urethra)?

I have to admit I do know this feeling...feels more like a soap burn or sore from mastabating too much which are both very likely.

Also I used two types of.lube over the last day which feel stingy.

[auntiejessi]

Yes, even though it was the urethra. If there was a risk, I promise you I'd have mentioned it. Unless someone had a syphilis sore on the tip of their tongue, it wouldn't be possible to even transmit anything, and syphilis wouldn't give you this symptom. It would give you a sore.

Syphilis is also uncommon in most developed countries.

If you have possible explanations for the feeling - soap burn or too much masturbating - go with that. It could also be from lube.

Your penis and urethra are delicate. The tissues are thin. Treat them delicately. Use gentle soaps or non-soap cleansers. You don't need to use soap internally in the urethra ever.

Use gentle lubes, as well. Many have strong chemicals none of us need. Get one made for sensitive skin, or one that's organic - it won't have the chemicals that we don't need.

Make sure you are drinking enough water, too. You might just be a bit dehydrated. Avoid caffeine and alcohol, as those are irritating and dehydrating.

Hey Jessie, thanks for the replies.

I can report that 10 days on since the exposure the severity of iritation has subsided significantly. Just a tiny bit of iritation roughly 5 minutes after I have passed urination. And again, NEVER has it hurt when passing urination.

Also my urination is clear (no specks or detritus) no discharge.

Having had chlamydia before I had all the above symptoms a few days after exposure.

Question is this...if you can

Absent symptoms and contrary to advice on here...every online med professional says I was at risk for STD such as gon/chlamydia due toreceiving "oral sex". (Few seconds tongue kicking the tip and urethra).

Can't find any studies which point towards tongues being a vectored for chlamydia or gon (I know spit is not a vector).

Really trying to understand my risk profile and put it all to bed in my mind or take a course of doxy) not sure I have the time to take a test.

I think you need to focus on AJ's words.  "If you had a risk, I'd tell you".  The constant questioning at this point is anxiety.  And our/her constantly reassuring you just feeds it.  She gave you real world, life style advice to help. Focus on that and maybe talk to a therapist about the health anxiety. For sure, quit dredging up this and that on the internet or trying to interpret medical studies thinking somehow you relate to them which is classic anxiety behavior.  Take care

Hi GuitarRox. Thanks for the time to reply.

Good observation regarding anxiety, to which I am admitdly, anxious...about many things and for which i am currently in therapy for. Cheers for the advice and guidance.

I think what helps anxious people is a bit of the why.

Which is what I was after.

Cheers.

Actually, no.  It's what hurts them. The constant researching and never ending questions are the anxiety loop.  You were told by AJ that if you had a risk, she'd tell you and didn't. Your constant looking for new ways to worry subconsciously is part of the illness. The problem here is not an std risk but a mental health problem.  Work on that to get better.
