Is STD Transmittable With Oral Sex?
I'm concerned about the medical ramifications of an unwise sexual decision. Friday and Saturday (1/20/12 and 1/21/12, respectively), I had a woman stay over my place. I’d only had one other previous date with her. She seems wonderful however, things went way too fast, and I allowed her to perform oral sex on me several times. My concerns:
1. What STDs can be caused by oral sex?
2. Perhaps I’m just psyching myself out, but I believe I’m experiencing symptoms. I very mildly noticeable sharp pain toward the inside of the tip of the penis. Additionally, some white coloring on the tip of the penis. Urine color seems to be fine. Doesn’t hurt terribly when I urinate.
3. I’ve learned about a diagnosis exam in which the doctor has to take a device and insert it through the penis hole and all the way into the shaft. I know this is a very painful procedure and I’m wondering if I’m in danger of having to get it done, or if there is a way to avoid it.

Hi there.
I think young man you have been reading far too much fiction.
The procedure you allude to sounds painful just reading it..if you are alluding to a 'catheterisation', don't worry this is NOT a diagnostic test & you certainly do not require one.
As for the pain, the type you describe does not fit into any particular disease pattern but do get a simple urine routine test done & it will help clear your doubts.
STDs of any type listed can be caused by oral sex albeit the percentages are far smaller than with penovaginal or anal sex.
I trust that answers your questions in a nutshell. & do believe you are reading more into this than required.
Do practice safe sex always & Good Luck!
