Welcome to our Forum. I'll be glad to comment. This was a low risk event and nothing you have said at this point suggests cause for concern. Certainly STIs such as gonorrhea and even chlamydia are occasionally transmitted through receipt of oral sex, the brief duration of your unprotected exposure make acquisition of infection, even if your partner was infected (most people, even most CSWs, do not have oral infection), quite unlikely. In answer to your specific questions:
I hope this information is helpful. Please feel free to follow-up if anything I've said is unclear. EWH

Dr H thx...update so far....
The discomfort improved after a couple of days and was mostly gone..resumed sexual activity at about day 5 for 2 days...
Surprisingly the pain in the area surrounding the urethra (midpoint to base of penis) then returned at about the same or higher level to include sometimes making it to upper part of testicles and my perineum area ..there is still no discharge, redness, blisters, or increased pain during urination..It just hurts in general sometimes at a fairly high level.
I have gone ahead and made an appointment with my GP in 2 days, but am a little bit frustrated at the pain level and that it has returned .
I figure I would just ask in the absence of any other symptoms,( ie discharge, burning when peeing, etc) would the pain alone be worrisome for Gonorrhea???
It seems like this would be the only thing that could even be possible given the very brief nature of the oral to genital and oral to anal contact...
Thx and will update after results from GP
