This week I am experiencing a 'tingling' sensation at the tip of my penisCancer - penis Curvature of the penis Penis care (uncircumcised) Penis pain. I would assume my chances of contracting an STD from my encounter are low. In addition, there are several other things I think may be the cause of the irritation at the tip of my penis: several days ago I shaved my groin, and my penis is rubbing against short / prickly hairs on scrotum. I played soccer since the incident while wearing shorts made of abrasive material and no underwear, and felt some chafing during the game.
Once I felt the tingling sensation in the tip of my penis, I became concerned about STDs. However, given the type of contact I had, and the other factors that could very well be the cause, what are my chances of having an STD?
