writes:Yesterday after having sex with my boyfriend, he started to feel chafed around the head of his penis. He said it hurt a lot and I noticed it was very red. I couldn't really tell but it almost looked like he was bleeding??? We had sex even though I wasn't properly lubricated and he thinks that is what caused it. Do you think that's possible or could it be something else? We ha only had sex twice when that happened but a few weeks ago, we were having sex 3-4 times almost every day and he was fine so this incident is sort of random. Reply to this Question

Possible causes:
Friction
A fungal infection (athlete's foot and jock itch can spread to his penis if he has it, and if you have a yeast infection you can give it to him.)
It could be a STI (don't jump to this conclusion immediately unless there is some reason to believe it is.)
If you ate something spicy (cinnamon gum, salsa, mexican food, hot fries, etc) and performed oral sex on him you may have had spice on your lips hands or in your mouth which can cause redness and irritation.
A skin condition like eczema or psoriasis can also cause the irritation you've described.
Regardless, if this irritation persists, he needs to see his doctor or a dermatologist for a diagnosis and treatment.

 I'm not a doctor, but that sounds much more like some sort of infection than mere friction. Frequent sex, coupled by maybe a scrape, could have exacerbated things.
PLEASE tell me that you are both using condoms every single time without fail. There are a lot of STI's that can cause symptoms like this. He needs to check with his doctor, and it's probably best if you two cooled it on the sex until he's all clear.
