Correct. I see no reason for additional testing and no reason to abstain from unprotected sex with a regular partner.
As far as reasons are concerns, one possibility is a completely understandable tendency to "look" for symptoms, focusing on your genitalia. When a person does this, there is a tendency to become aware of normal sensations which are otherwise ignored and overlooked.
Hope this helps. EWH

If this sensation was severe enough to wake you from sleep and kept you from sleeping, it should be evaluated. A urologist would be reasonable. This sort of symptom however is not typical of prostatitis and if you have had prior issues with prostatitis, I would anticipate a recurrence to cause similar sensations to any prior episodes that might have occurred. It is not clear to me if these sensations, which you indicate you have had before, were associated with prostatitis or not. They do not however suggest and STI. EWH
