For men, sexual pain tends to be categorized as either painful erections or pain during ejaculation. Other types of pain, such as surface irritation, can also cause pain during sex. However, skin infections and related pain may not always be considered in a sexual light.
Conditions other than STDs that can cause sexual pain in men include:
- Peyronie's disease - a type of scarring that leads to curvature of the penis
- problems with retraction of the foreskin
- trauma to the penis, such as a penile fracture
- prostatitis - infection of the prostate
- urethritis - infection of the urethra
- interstitial cystitis - a type of bladder infection
- eczema and other genital skin conditions
