Does Herpes Cause Burning Pain During Ejaculation?
I am 24, male, 5'4.5" about 200 lbs. I have been to the free clinic and seem to have been diagnosed with herpes. I have noticed that after ejaculation, there is an extreme burning pain that lasts for hours. Is this a response to the herpes and is there anything I can do to continue masturbating but avoiding the pain?

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Herpes infection is usually characterized by formation of fluid filled vesicles on external genitalia and these vesicles are painful and may be associated with burning pain.
The pain that you are experiencing after masturbation can be due to herpes infection.
Treatment of herpes infection is required to avoid the pain.
Herpes is a sexually transmitted disease so sexual contact should be avoided till infection clears away.
Thanks and take care
