Male Treatments

This really isn't a question but more of a personal experience. I have only had 2 sexual partners in my life and i was sort of a late bloomers in terms of today's time. I lost my virginity soon after my 19th birthday and the first time i had sex, i had worn protection. From a young age i had always wanted to be clean when it came to STDs. My family had happen to have gotten cold sores and herpes, so i have always stayed away from them when it came to their time of their outbreak. So my first time happened to be a one night stand, but i never worried about it since i had worn a condom. Later on i had wanted to settle down and have a girlfriend. I found one and was very happy being that she fulfilled alot of my desires. The first few times we had intercourse i had used condoms. When she would engage in oral sex, it was always without a condom. It was after her getting on a birth control pill that we just decided to stop utilizing condoms and going all natural.  Ive never really gone into her background if she used condoms or not, but always asked her if she was clean and she would go to the Gyno and get the green light of being clean. Her Pap once came back unclear or bad, so she had to go in for like a biopsy where they took a lil skin from her uterus. It had never really crossed my mind about the factors that couldve caused a bad pap.

I would like to say that as a guy i do enjoy orgasming. Wether it would be an orgasm from self pleasure or any particular sex. So about 10 months ago, i started getting these skin tags on and around my penis. I am a circumsized male, and knew that i would be less at risk for a few diseases. I just blew it off since i like to be a bit clean down their and shave so i would sometimes cut myself so i thought it was due to water getting into the wound. (Yes i was very naive.) I had gone to my pediatrician one day for a checkup, i went to my pediatrician since i still felt that they provided me with the best help, and i had asked my doctor for an STD test. He just asked if i was circumsized and told me i would be in the clear. So many months go past and i continuously masterbate, and i keep on getting these growths. My girlfriend told me about a few months ago, that she was getting worried and wanted me to consult with another doctor. I came to the realization that who knew more about skin conditions than dermatologist.

I made an appointment to see him, and i go there and am not knowledgeable to what it is to come. I go into the exam room, and am waiting to see the doctor, i told the nurse that i just had a skin affliction in my groin and wanted the doctor to check it out. The doctor came in and i got on the exam table and the doctor pulled up the gown and automatically told me that it was Genital Warts. Stopping right here, i was like oh my god, my life is ruined. I am a nice guy and have always held a code of chivalry when it came to women, so i would never think of having sex with another girl  and give them this disease. The doctor than goes on and tells me that he recommends these few treatments that would help me to rid of the physical appearance of the warts. He told me that i will forever live with the disease and he can just remove the symptoms of the disease. He told me that he will begin with the electrocautery. He had biopsied 2 of them, and then try to remove a lot of them. Let me just say that i was stupid for letting time go by and letting colonies of warts grow on the shaft of the penis, on the underside, and also around the base of the penis as well as above the base of the penis. So i was looking at a lot of pain. So under the knife i went, and i got colonies of warts off. After the removal the dermatologist had applied Cantharidin on me, and the nurse came in with the papers i had to sign on the approval of this application of this chemical on me as well as the biopsy. Walking out i was almost catatonic, i got up off the table and all i had noticed was tons of blood on the table as well as the smell of burnt skin. I went home with pretty much as the term applies a limp dick. It was swollen and had scars all over it as well as the smell of burnt skin. Again going to the pain factor, YEA WOW, the doctor does inject general anasthesia around the area where he is doing it, but once he starts using electrocauterizing the wounds, and the probe is like a mm in you, it hurts.

Ending up my story, i had gone back twice to get the electrocauterizing method of treatment done. He is a very well known and good dermatologist in NY, and had just continued with this method. It has been painful procedures. The skin has healed and the scarring is very little, it wasn't like i was trying out for americas next top penis, and needed it to be spotless. But after my second time, the recovery of this was not at all pleasant. The latest removal was between the penis and the testicles. For us guys, our penis moves when we walk, when we sit down, when we move an inch, so i was in a lot of pain. On my second visit, i had requested some pain killers afterwards, because i was just in a lot of pain. Well it has now been a week since my third treatment had taken place, and wanted to hear from other guys how their treatments were with the cryo methods. I had also started today on my Condylox, but was searching for warts that i couldn't see that well. Also guys answering the treatment question, have you also applied condylox to your warts?

Another thing i wanted to talk about from a guys view is masterbating. After my third treatment ive decided to become abstinent. I was more of the guy to ejaculate into a towel or tissue, so it just so happened to be that the latest batch was near the base of the penis. Light going off, its prob due to when the ejaculate drips down and rests on the base of my penis. I might be silly, but feel like ejaculate is the thing causing a lot of my warts. SO i feel the next time i do ejaculate it will be in the shower where the water will just wash away my ejaculate. But guys what are your takes on masterbating after your procedure. For everyones knowledge i am still with my girl, and we had unprotected sex after the treatment, but i will prob resort to wearing a condom from now on. I never liked the feel of a condom, after trying it without one. But also i never saw my gf with an outbreak of warts, so is it just that she is a carrier of the disease and i just so happened to get the version of the virus with the warts? And if she is a carrier, will i just always get warts even if my body just clears up the warts and the virus?

My BF and I are in the same boat. He has had cryo-treatments and used a prescription cream for a while. But if we have sex, they come back. He hates the pain/money/time involved with cryo and has just stopped treating them since they will go away with time and minimal contact. I never show symptoms, but his kind of **** up our sex life. Condoms don't cover the area where he usually gets them so that's not a great preventative measure. We've been through this for the last year and I can only hope that he will improve with time, as most of the treatments are ineffective.

When u masturbate, put a condom on. I believe it is the hand to wart touching (skin-to-skin) and it just spreads your warts The semen does not carry the spread of warts,. Remeber, very contagious.
