It is very rare for genital herpes to cause a penile discharge. My sense is that there is no abnormal discharge here. It was most likely postejaculation secretions and/or discharge from the prostate and/or seminal vesicles. A urologist can advise you further if you still have concerns.

This doesn't sound abnormal, and herpes definitely isn't the problem. See a doctor if you notice discharge at any other time, not associated with sex or ejaculation -- otherwise, move on without worry.

I had sexual intercourse and used a non-bleach Chlorox wipe on my penis. My penis burned and swelled but now is fine. This occurred less than a week ago. I have less semen produced from masturbation and a lower sex drive. What should I do?

Brief stinging at penis tip (Urethra) when it brushes against my pants or I rub hand across it. No pain urin/ejac. & sexually inactive 3yrs. Is it likely because I have recently been thoroughly squeezing/milking out all semen after masturbating?
