Question
OK, I had sex with my girlfriend and we used patroleom jelly for the lube. Now the shaft of my penis itches and it tingles when I pee. No signs of an STD. She is fine, but I'm not. What could it be?
Answer
Petroleum jelly will destroy latex and should never be used with condoms. Most STDs do not have any symptoms, but if you are worried, go get checked. Please remember to use water-based lube and condoms to reduce these kinds of irritations.
