Discussing Penile Spots With Your Partner

Developing penile spots can be quite embarrassing, especially for those in a new sexual relationship. These spots can have a number of causes depending on what they are, and bringing it up can be quite difficult. For men that have noticed that they have developed these penile intruders, getting to the bottom of the cause is a necessity when considering talking to your partner about them.

Marks that develop on the penis could be the result of a sexually transmitted disease (STD). The only way to know for sure if you have an STD is to make an appointment and visit a licensed health care professional. After an examination and some laboratory testing, your provider will be able to tell you if the marks are benign or a sign of a more serious illness like an STD or cancer.

Knowing the cause of the penile spots will make discussing this subject with your partner much less complicated. Before engaging in sexual activity, it is necessary both morally and ethically to discuss any potential risk of passing an STD with your partner. Because condoms only provide some protection against STDs, partners have the right to know if they are at risk for contracting an illness.

If the cause of the marks is benign growths that have been diagnosed by a health professional, you may want to mention this to your partner. This will bring the subject up and foster open communication that will promote dialogue about the issue. Also, partners that are told that their prospective sexual partners have been cleared of STDs and other contagious illness may be more at ease with sexual contact with the lesions.

To bring up the subject, tell your partner that you have something that you would like to share. Discuss how you have been to a physician and you are healthy, but you want your partner to know that you do have marks or growths on your penis. If you are in a loving relationship and your partner is satisfied with the emotional stability in your coupledom, you may just find that the apprehension that you were feeling was unnecessary. However, do understand that discussing penile spots with your partner may also end in a way that you do not necessarily want. It is these situations which can prove that a relationship is worth the time and effort put into it.
