SLIGHT PAIN DURING EJACULATION

2 Weeks ago I had pretty rough sex with my girlfriend. Since that night it stings a little in my urethra when I ejaculate. It does not happen during urination and there are really no other symptoms of anything abnormal. But I have ejaculated a handful of times since and it still stings. Is this something that I should be concerned about? Or should I just lay off sex and masturbation for a while(I tried to rest it a few days but it still happens)?

Hello.

This forum is for discussing emotional/psychological issues relating to sexual concerns.

There are many conditions which can cause pain in your urethra--some temporary, such as a minor irriation, and some which need treatment, such as an infection or STD. Even if the irritation seems to dissipate, it's still possible you need treatment, and the only way you can find out if you have a medical condition needing treatment is to see a physician for an examination.
