Q: had sex last night..my urethra opening is sensitive to touch. no itching, burning when urinating, or inflammation but its highly sensitive?

: No infection can cause symptoms so quickly; probably minor trauma, or perhaps chemical irritation (for example, if a spermicide was used). It should be safe to sit tight for 2-3 days and see a doctor if not resolved by then or if it gets worse.
