catching STDs?

[tidy mess]

I am a 23 year old gay male. I was embarrassingly drunk six days ago and ended up going home with an acquaintance. We kissed a lot and cuddled and made out naked - we didn't have any sort of sex (not even oral) but our private parts rubbed together quite a bit. (I shouldn't have let that happen!). Anyways, which STDs could I have possibly caught from that behavior? Since the next morning I've had a slight burning/itchiness at the tip of my penis (almost like in the end of the urethra) but I'm hoping that I'm just imagining that because I'm scared. Thanks for the help!!

You might have gotten a urethral irritation from rubbing against him, especially if he's hairy. It might lead to a non-gonorrheal urethritis, which is pretty easy to knock out with antibiotics. If you are still burning and itching after six days, you should have it checked out. It's not really an STD, people get them all the time. It's unlikely you contracted an STD, unless he had an active outbreak of herpes at the time. The only other thing you might have caught is the crabs. You would be itching, but not at the tip of your penis.

Don't beat yourself up for having a naked cuddle with a gay friend while you were both drunk. It's not unusual at all.

get checked by a doctor.

There are many different types of STDs out there, some can be brought on by touch (herpes, crabs) others by fluid (gonorrhea, aids). You want to see a doctor or a sex clinic immediately. Don't think it's nothing just because the symptoms go away (and they do), see a doctor, most STDs can be treated when they are found out early. If you wait too long then it may be irreversible.

There is only one way to know if you have or don't have an STD and that is by seeing a professional.

Good luck ; )

No. Nothing is can happen in six days! Maybe two weeks, but not six days. Do not worry. One time, I made contact with another girl, and I got these weird bumps. When I went to the docter he said it was just irrated but the other girls woohoo, and yeah. Don't worry. My private parts itch sometimes. Don't worry. As for the guilt? You guys had fun, leave it at that (unless you want to have another go around and get serious!)

Maybe Crabs........but nothing else that I know of. Most likely some precome from all that excitment hardened in the tip of your penis that can cause those symtoms.
