[bambiblake007.livejournal.com]

ok. idk where else to ask this so imma give it a try here. if it's not something that needs to be asked here, by all means, delete the question. if someone can direct me to a lj that deals with this kinda question, plz help me out && i'll appreciate it. but if someone can answer this here, plz answer && it'd be greatly appreciated :)



soo last nite me && my husband were having sex. i was on top && he cum && everything seemed fine. he was still inside me && we were talkin a lil bit && i was still moving around a lil bit && he winces. i ask him wat's wrong thinkin i hurt him or something (i'm not a small girl) but he said it wasn't me it was his penis. soo he pulls out && we examine it && he's like it felt like it was rubbing against something && felt kind of raw. i assumed he might've rubbed against sum of my hair (he'd shaved down there last week) but he said it wasn't that. he said he'd felt it once b4 when he was younger && had jacked off too much. he doesnt seemed to worried about it tbh.

i don't think he has any kind of STD or anything altho his ex was diagnosed with herpes right b4 they broke up. he went && got all the tests run && they were all negative. now, i was told 1x b4 that i had HPV but i put sum cream on the warts that'd come up on my backside && it all cleared up. i've never had another out-break && i never kept it from my husband. that was in 2004 i think && a yr or 2 later, i got a physical done at my pcp && i told him that i'd been diagnosed with HPV, he did a test himself && said it was negative. idk why the other dr told me i had it..but i've had several pap smears since && no other dr has seen anything abnormal or gotten info that i had anything abnormal goin on down in my girly bits. now i do get UTIs && yeast infections a lot. as far as i kno, i don't have any of them atm, my bladder has been feelin full but it comes && goes && i have cranberry supplements for that if it does get a bit uncomfortable.

i didnt actually c anything abnormal on my husband's penis last nite. a week b4 i'd given him a blow job && nothin seemed out of the ordinary then either. the penis did look a bit chaffed or whatever happens with raw skin. && it was a lil red && looked dry. my husband does have very dry skin if that matters. i am just wondering if it's possible his penis is just irritated from having sex bc i was a lil dry when we started last nite or if it could be something serious?? i dont think we've given each other anything, unless he's having symptoms of a yeast infection that i havent noticed..but it would definitely ease my mind to kno that this is all normal.

thnx for any info that can be given.

IIRC, HPV that causes genital warts is not the same HPV that causes warts on the rest of the body. So there's that.

What kind of tests did he get to clear himself of herpes? Were they type-specific blood tests, or swabs of suspected sores?

Chafing from masturbation or stubble burn seems more likely than chafing from too-dry PIV. A yeast infection is definitely a possibility too, especially if you're having symptoms. The vulvapedia (vaginapagina.com) has a YI page with home remedies if you don't want to get Diflucan from the doc or a topical OTC cream.

PS: The lack of capitalization made this rather hard for me to read. The double ampersands (&&) wasn't helping either, but I realize that might be due to your posting app. Basically, it took a few read-throughs for me to get everything. You should be aware that this might be turning off people who would otherwise be helpful.

I just realized that you mentioned your bladder feeling full and that you treat that incidentally with cranberry pills. I would like to point out that while you might be treating the symptoms or pushing back an infection a bit, cranberry doesn't usually eradicate a UTI. UTIs don't always show up with the same symptoms every time either.

Yeah, it has happened to me and the thing about it is getting rubbed a bit raw I don't really notice it until after the 'heat of passion', as you might say....

I normally don't worry about it and just let it heal up....

I clicked the cut hoping this thread was about hammers.

But in all seriousness, friction, it's a heckuva thing. If my wife and I have been a little rough on my penis and then have sex when it's tender, oh yeah... not comfy. I would imagine the female equivalent is being penetrated when you're too dry and/or have a tiny cut down there.

Sounds like normal "wear and tear" to me.

Also, I second the call for proper caps and spelling.

Yeast infections? There's the likely culprit. Yeast infections, on penises, are often just "dry skin." However, they can make the penile skin more delicate, and easily abraded -- and they can cause yeast infections when they get cuddly with a vagina again! If you're treating your own yeast infections, but not your husband's, then he's probably giving them back to you.

Or it might just be that he got a little abraded. It can happen.

You could have easily had HPV in 2004 and test negative years later. Everything I've read seems to indicate that HPV can often clear itself up. That's why an abnormal pap smear isn't immediately cause for alarm, because the body's immune system can sometimes (usually?) fight it off eventually. Once testing positive with HPV, they typically recommend check-ups every 6 months until there have been 1-2 years (depending on the doctor) of not-abnormal results. So please don't be alarmed that you tested positive once and negative years later, that's totally a common thing. As far as I know, once testing negative again they don't consider you a carrier.

Recurring yeast infections with symptoms on your partner (the dry, red skin) would indicate to me that you need to treat both of you for a yeast infection. If you're not symptomatic, just treat him for now. If you get infected again, treat both of you at the same time and refrain from sex for a few days after YOUR symptoms clear up to ensure you're both fine.

Good luck!
