Best Answer

Sexually transmitted diseases are contagious. This means that while only one person may show symptoms at least one of their sex partners also must have the disease. That is why doctors recommend that both people be treated, so that the virus or infection will be eliminated and not passed back and forth all over again.

Why does it burn when I ejaculate inside her?

== Go see a doctor. == If you are the one that is burning when you ejaculate in her while having unprotected sex you should really go have that checked as it could indicate that you may have an infection or an STD - she should also be tested. If it is burning as you are using a condom/lubricants/paints etc. it could be due to the spermicide/chemicals that you may be having a reaction to it - use condoms that have no lubricants/spermicides. If she is the one burning it could be and infection or an STD. You both need to have tests done where this is concerned and do not have sex anymore until you find out for sure what is going on as well if you need to be treated for anything you both must be treated and do not have any sex until after fully treated - then see how things go.
