Could it be an STI?
I'm a 30 year old male - and I recently had a one night stand that consisted of unprotected oral sex a well as somewhat brief unprotected vaginal sex (we started, then stopped and put on a condom).
About 2 weeks later, I started having pains while urinating - not the itching and burning that most people describe, but a sharper pain, almost like there was a cut inside my urethra. it was higher up on my pelvis, but after 2-3 days, it's moved down towards the middle of my penis. interestingly, i haven't had any problems with frequent urination or anything like that, and pain comes and goes. it is also markedly worse at the end of urination, almost no pain at the beginning. this morning, there is almost no pain at all.
I'm awaiting test results for a full STD panel, but I'm curious in the mean time if this could be chlamydia and is just presenting itself differently. I also have not had any discharge or sensitivity.
I've also had a kidney stone in the last few months, but never passed it (that I know of)...if these come back negative, I might be inclined to think that this was me finally passing this stone.
So, my question is, what, if any, STD does this sound like. And, how likely is the thought it might just be a coincidental problem?

Thanks for the input Vance.
That's the feeling I have right now - it's something else. Now, I'm not sure if I'm comforted by that or not. I'd much rather have the clap and take a pill than have another run with kidney stones!

It really does not sound like a STD...when you get the classic burning while urinating it is constant and happens all of the time you urinate and throughout urination.
And without any discharge (being the most common symptom) I doubt that this is a STD. While you can still have a STD without symptoms, your symptoms don't really match up.
