which, to answer DC's question, is exactly why I did post but did not panic. I do get checked at least annually (2 months ago) and trust my doc even more than anonymous posters here, believe it or not, but being sunday...I thought I'd 'chat' in the meanwhile. Thanks for the positive reinforcement.
On the first of the relevant month, I broke a month-long celibate hiatus and saw a (well-reviewed) provider. Standard fare: bbbj, LFK, covered fs. Exactly one week later (call it the 8th) I see a second provider for the same fare and service. On the 12th I awake with a milky discharge. No pain, just an annoying discharge I had once before, several years back (was checked at the time and found negative for any STD's, and the nsu/discharge was gone soon thereafter). So....was provider #1 the carrier and should I call provider #2, or...is this such a common occurrence I shouldn't bother either of them? Comments sage more welcome than sarcastic, but have at it: what would YOU do?
I just want to do the right thing as best I can. Thanks.
confirm that you in fact have an STD. If the test come back positive then medical professionals can probaly give you a good idea of when you contracted the STD. You can then decide whether you should call the lady that most likely gave the STD to you. My preference would be for you to let a medical professional make the call.
If the test is negative and you do not have an STD, you should talk to your doctor about the impact that sex and penetration has on your body. The great thing is that if you have waited to contact a lady, you would not have cause undue alarm in that person.
The choices above can be tough for some, but my preference would be to get tested first then decide whether to have a lady contacted.
1- will see a doctor and fin dout what it is
2- If it is caused by a STD (or STDs), I will stop having sex (oral and intercourse).
3 - I would contact and tell them what was found while not insisting that I got that stuff from any of them. They would apprecciate that.
You should get tested to make sure...I would hope you get tested at least annually in any case. But really why post or even think about contacting a provider until you have proof otherwise. There is no need to panic people over something that proved to NOT be an STD previously.
...comes while you're masterbating, I think that's pretty normal. In fact, I think that's sort of what you're aiming for.

If had a boyfriend who tried that crap with me. He called me up and told me I gave him an STD because he had a discharge. I was scared and immediately ran to the hospital to get tested. I was fine and he had a prostate disorder.
An urethral discharge is never normal.
I think with the history of sexual contact with new partners, you need to assume the worse--an STD.
You should notify both ladies immediately (in a non-accusatory way) and let them know the situation. Naturally you should contact your private physician Monday or go to a clinic.
If a client told me the above, I'd stop seeing clients immediately and get myself tested ASAP, without waiting to hear the client's test results.
Sometimes urethral swabs (if not obtained properly) can lead to false negatives. I wouldn't be surprised if your physician gives you antibiotics anyway based on your history, even if the tests come back negative for chlamydia or gonorrhea.
Chlamydia is a huge cause of pelvic inflammatory disease, tubo-ovarian abscess and female infertility. Women are often asymptomatic.
You are doing your recent sex partners a disservice by not informing them of a possible STD so they can see their own doctors ASAP.
It's better that the two ladies feel a bit concerned and stop seeing clients for a few days, rather than letting them blithely go on infecting gentlemen because you wanted to prevent panic.
And BTW, no, this doesn't "happen all the time."
Hope everything turns out well for everyone concerned.
