STD From Male-Male Mutual Masturbation

I have been holding off on getting checked for an STD because of medical professional reported opinions that it is almost impossible to get an STD from a handjob.

I am a married man who has a prudish wife (she has no STDs), and I recently had an encounter with a guy in which I engaged in mutual masturbation.  I never touched my own penis after touching his, and he touched my penis and urethra opening but never touched his own penis when we were together.  I asked whether he had touched his penis and he said that he had a couple hours earlier.  No open sores on either his hands or penis, to the best of my knowledge, and none on mine.  I know nothing of his history, except that he fools around with guys on occasion.

A couple days after our encounter I began to feel irritation at my urethra opening.  And within a week I have felt pressure within my penis and the need to urinate somewhat frequently to release pressure.  I have masturbated once since then and felt a mildly painful throbbing after ejaculation.  The pressure and need to urinate seems to be increasing and is slightly painful as of today.  But what's been stopping me from getting checked is the fact that sometimes I feel perfectly fine (particularly after urinating) and because the docs here saying that mutual masturbation is safe and cannot transmit STDs.  I'm thinking I have chlamydia.

Thanks, man.  Do you work for the site, and are your comments somehow moderated?  You provide relief to a lot of people.

No they have not and people post all of the time about just being masterbated, it's a common practice.

Hey Vance, you obviously spend a lot of time here.  Has anyone here ever posted that they did acquire an STD from being masturbated?  I wonder how much of the opinion that it is a no-risk activity is because there are so few people who just do that without having sex elsewhere.  The married guys, like me, would never tell their doctor that they got stroked by another guy, and the gay guys, well, how many of them stick to just masturbation.  And then, there are the ladies who are generally less likely to engage in reckless sexual behavior.

I'm going to get tested, though I know that my symptoms could be my anxiety, change in my diet from the stress, and taking ibuprofen, but man, it's hard to believe that it's not something more.
