Hi, for the past two months I've had intense anxiety about having any kind of sexual contact.
I'm a 21-year-old gay man.
Okay, it all happened in February. I have a partner, and we always use protection during sex, except for oral sex. I'm the "active" partner in the relationship. The thing is, we had sex on a Monday in February, everything was normal and we used protection except for oral sex. On Saturday of that week, I went to take a shower and clean down there when I realized I had hurt myself. I had a cut, like when you cut your mouth. I was terrified, thinking it was something serious. I looked it up, and it didn't look like an STI, just a friction burn. I checked it for a few days, and it healed fine. I don't know, it didn't blister or cause any other unusual wound.
But ever since then, I've been afraid of any sexual contact, even with protection. I'm a very anxious person who's afraid of diseases, so I'm using protection and getting tested, but I'm still terrified. About three weeks ago, I also had some itching down there, and it felt a little dry, so I panicked again and thought the worst. And today, I've had a discomfort in the head of my penis when it rubs against it. It's a strange sensation that I can't quite explain, but it's not really painful. I'm really traumatized about it. Has this happened to any of you? Have you had that feeling there? Should I be more careful or stop doing it?
I appreciate your comments and I'll be looking forward to them, thanks :)).
