low grade vibrating sensation in penis

This seems like a bizarre symptom to have but I have noticed a reoccuring low grade vibration primarily in the head of my penis. When I notice and pay attention to it I can note that it reoccurs regularly, for about one second with a three second interval. In that respect it almost seems organic like breathing or a pulse, (but it is not running with my pulse which I measured, and my pulse was considerably faster). Anyway its weird to me.
I am monagomous in a long term heterosexual relationship. I believe my partner to be also. She does have frequent and various yeast infections and I wonder if that has anything to do with it.
Also, I am 54 years old, exercise regularly and in good shape.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Sometimes infections can lead to sensitivity changes in the penis. I would certainly be checked for STDs like gonorrhea and chlamydia. A urinalysis can be considered to evaluate for UTIs.
If the symptoms continue without an obvious explanation, you can consider a referral to a urologist (or neurologist if the nerve-like symptoms continue).
Followup with your personal physician is essential.
