Question:
I had sex with a girl on friday, and later that day, I felt like I always had to pee, however very little urine came out, and my penis sort of tingles. Is this a symptom of an STD, if so I thought that it took a while for symptoms to occur, not the same day. she is my first sexual parnter

You are probably right. Usually, for most STDs, the symptoms don't show up that quickly. The only way to know for sure, is to wait a few days and get checked by a doctor.

It is possible that your body is reacting to something it is allergic to. For example, some people are allergic to the soap used to wash their own body; other things a person might be allergic to- latex in latex condoms, spermicide that is used on condoms or added to reduce the risk of infection, douche solution that is put into the vagina for cleaning it out, something you came in contact with while erotically playing with your partner.

Depending on how many times you were aroused during the sexual play you may have had blood flow into the genital area, not enough to cause an erection, but remaining there after you were aroused. Usually, an ejaculation and orgasm takes care of this, but it is hard to know how much you were aroused before you actually left your partner.

I hope some of these answers make sense to you. I urge you to see a doctor if the signs continue, and one way to make sure that you don't get an STD from someone is to use a condom, latex or polyurethane, to keep from transferring most bacteria/virus from one person to another. It may be especially important now that you have symptoms of something.
