Hi, I have a dull ache in the head of my penis, and at base of the shaft. I noticed it yesterday afternoon when I leaned up against the bathroom counter at work, with my clothes on, of course, to look in the mirror. I was "what was that? A dull pain?" Yes. So, I went to the urinal and unzipped, and squeezed slightly and yes, a dull ache. Also, a dull ache at the base of the penis later that night, and when semi erect it seemed "sore". My wife and I got it semi erect and pulling or stretching it it was " ow, slightly sore". My wife & I have not had sex in 2 days and no issue when we did. There is no discharge and no pain when urinating or ejactulating. The penis looks normal..not red, no bumps, nothing. Now, after different touches it seems to hurt more when I squeeze the head slightly and rotate the fingers down slightly,, stretching the penis opening. Weird. I am a runner but my miles are way down this past week as I have only run 26 mi in 7 days without a break, and have never had chafing. I wear jockey underwear when running. I usually run 30 - 40 miles every 7 - 9 days, with 1 - 2 days off every 3 - 4 days, and have done so the past 3 years. I have not had thi sissue before. Can anal sex cause this issue? Can hand lotion do this if it gets inside the penis? Can saliva on your hands cause something like this? Can "regular" sex cause this? Can a penis ache a couple of days later after vigorus sex but not hurt immediately or the next day, like when in an accident or exercising strenuously and not used to it you hurt more the the 2nd & 3rd day after? I am just throwing anything & everything I can think of out there? Oh, here are some of the results I got in my search for an answer: easitiality..anal sex with a dog..can that cause this issue? Can a person get worms, sex with farm animals, Thrush, Urinary tract infection in men, monistate, too much masturbation, small penis, large penis, unprotected anal sex, vacuum pump...some pretty odd search engine results so I am not ruling anything out...I am that kind of guy...never sick but then when I do it is the end of the world..I have the oddest illnesses..I actually never do, but I think like that..nothing is impossible, right?
