Question:
Hi guys. I've read lots of posts here and it seems like everyone here is very heplfull and friendly. MC37, Faith and Richard, you guys are great and you should feel proud of yourselves that you're helping people that need it. Thank you, and all the good kharma in the world to you!

Here's my issue:

One morning about a month ago, I noticed a red blotch on the side of my penis, which I attributed to having a good amount of sex and foreplay the night before and the night before that.

It didn't look much different than if I had masturbated and the skin was reddened. Inside this blotch though, there was a very small "break" in the skin, where it looked like it might bleed. No blood came from the spot. Being a hypochondriac, of course I looked at it and touched it quite a bit that morning. By that evening, most of the redness was gone, except for the small spot inside the original blotch I didn't have any pain in my back or legs or crotch. The spot itself didn't hurt, even to the touch. If this was the H, I wouldn't have known it due to pain.

About 3 days later, there was a little bit of white deadskin over the spot. I rubbed it off very easily. There was still a tiny red mark there after the dead skin was removed. After 4 or 5 days, there was no redness or anything at all.

I didn't worry about this too much at the time, just because I knew that I had quite a bit of sex around that time (with the same partner) and it would make sense that there could be irritation down there. I had never had anything like it before.

As has been the case with me in the past, I started to worry about it quite a bit two weeks later (Richard-you're point about men checking themselves after sex and worrying about infection is valid in my case)

Like you guys have said, if you think about something enough, you can imagine anything and I've got a track record of this

I've been to the dr. since for a physical, and told him exactly what I've laid out here. He said it didn't sound like a sexually transmitted disease and that abrasians from sex are often mistaken for STD's. I've asked him about 3 different spots in/near the groin region before.

What do y'all think?
MC 37, help a milwaukee brother!!

Seriously... I get the same thing from time to time...

EXACTLY like you describe it...

In fact, I had to take a masturbation vacation last week because my girlfriend and I had too much sex the weekend before, and I had roughed up the skin exactly like you described... Right below the rim of the head, on the side... just too much pulling/stretching/rubbing

Sometimes the little guy just needs some rest!

Plus with the dry dry air this time of year, the skin is extra sensitive.

On a side note... when the skin gets THAT irritated, it DEFINETLY puts you more at risk to get an STD. (but if you are in a monogamous relationship, then I wouldn't worry about it)

Let the little guy heal... Maybe get some KY to help prevent damage to the tool in the future...

Spermacide also irritates the skin, so I'm not sure if you use condoms with spermacide, but know that the spermacide does add to the irritation...

But I'm not sure how condoms and spermacide fall into your contraception plan or anything so I'm not saying never use spermacide, cause for contraception, its a good thing..but... keep that in mind.

Answer:
I have no comment to add.
MC37 Pilot is very convinsing. LOL :D

Yup, your guy need a little rest...

Answer:
Do you guys know how likely it is to pass an oral sore on to your genitals?

I'm pretty sure I had a cold sore about 2 years ago, at the time I wasn't super careful about touching it, in fact I missed with it a lot and it hung around for like 2 months.

thanks for your help
