What Causes Tingling Sensation In Penis?

default
Posted on Mon, 20 Jun 2016
Question: My boyfriend is 31 and has been intermittently experiencing a tingling sensation in his penis for the last week. Over the last few days the tingling sensation has gotten more frequent. His penis looks completely normal and he isn't experiencing any pain at all. Do you know what this might be? Do you think this could be an std? I am not experiencing any symptoms at all. This is really worrying me. He is going to the doctor on Monday, but I would like to know what this might be sooner. Thank you for your time.
