Penis - burning sensation mainly after ejaculation

Hoping someone can assist me on my issue here, at its becoming a bigger concern. I am a 27 year old male.

I had unprotected sex with a female around the beginning of June and shortly after I noticed a mild burning sensation when I  ejaculated. I knew this was likely to be some kind of STD as a result, (I had been diagnosed and treated for non-specific urethritus 2 years earlier) so proceeding to get an appointment with my GP.
He prescribed a 10 day course of Doxycycline 100mg capsules which I took as prescribed. I returned to the doctors as my symptoms persisted. I gave a urine sample (which was tested for such infections) and also the penis tip swab test which all came back

I read every thread here and this is what I think it is.
1st of all I don't have the sensation when I urinate.
I'm 42 years old and what experienced is a burning sensation at the begining of the ejaculation and then afterwards mildly until I take a wizz. The 1st time this happened was after I ate sushi, I ate alot of wasabi, I mean alot! I love the stuff. So I think what you eat can make a difference. I ate sushi again with wasabi same effect. So I thought that was the problem but then around 6 days later it happened again, no wasabi! I dont drink alot of water mainly coffee and sodas, so theory number two is the sugar is crystalizing and getting stuck in the uretha kinda of like a kidney stoney and the explosion from the ejaculation is dislodging whatever is stuck in there. When I drink alot of water and wash my kidneys out, stay away from spicy or acidic foods this problem NEVER OCCURS!
I recommend drinking lots of water for a week, fill up on water only, no sodas or coffee guys and clean your tubes out.

I have the same pain.  But the pain only hurts when my penis is erect and I squeeze the head where my penis hole goes from closed to open. As soon as it opens it's a stinging pain, but only for 10 seconds or so.  Any ideas?

I'm surprised that I've never looked to see if anyone else experienced this before. It puts me at ease a little to know I'm not the only one. Like many of you, this comes around rarely. I don't drink, so it's not alcohol related per se. I am faithfully married, so not interested in wearing condoms.

What I have found is that I can completely avoid it...if I knead my penis a little before releasing urine. Since this has worked for so long I suspect it's more of a collection of debris and/or solidified fluid that creates enough of a blockage to cause a small lesion when urine is forcibly released. It makes sense to me that after the penis goes flaccid and tucked in my pants that even my own fluids may not be able to completely drain from the urethra and cause this to happen.

It is worth noting that I have gone to the doctor about this and done tests before. No surprise, they weren't able to do anything for me. To be safe, if it's sex with someone other than a committed partner-wear protection. If it's masturbation-do so with clean hands. Knead yourself a little before that first urination, and always drink more water.

the only reason it seems to happen when drinking alcohol is that alcohol makes you pee more often.  the only thing i drink that i notice causes this sensation more than anything else is orange juice or anything acidic.  There is nothing wrong with anyone who gets this burning occasionally, if it was an infection or std, it would not be occasional but after every time.

Hey guys I have a solution don't worry, I used to have the same problem but it's easy to solve as long  as you follow what I say
1. If you are going to ejaculate in anyway wait 1 hour 15 mins from your last drink then make sure you go to the toilet
2. Wait 20 mins and if you want to go to the toilet again go but if not you should be fine for ejaculation but just to check push in your bladder to make sure you don't have much urine in there.
3. If you did need to go to the toilet wait another 20 mins util you bladder is empty and don't drink anything during ths whole period!!!!!
4. Once you bladder is empty and you haven't drunk anything since you last drink at the beginning, you can freely masturbate with no stinging pain after :)
