You'd have to be a bit more specific. Where does it sting? Is it all the time, or only when you urinate?
It can be a symptom of any of three very common std's. It can also be a urinary tract infection (UTI).
Unfortunately in men, the symptoms can vary a great deal. A man can have a yeast infection and not know it, or be in real pain. You'll need to visit your doctor or community health clinic if the symptoms have persisted for more than a few days.
The good news is that all the std's with stinging or burning sensation as a symptom are very treatable, so there's nothing to worry about. There are also free services in almost every community in the US where you can receive confidential treatment.

There are two types of herpes simplex virus: HSV-1 and HSV-2. Both virus types can cause sores around the mouth (herpes labialis) and on the genitals (genital herpes). Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV).
Cold sores sometimes called fever blisters, are groups of small blisters on the lip and around the mouth. The skin around the blisters is often red, swollen, and sore. The blisters may break open, leak a clear fluid, and then scab over after a few days. They usually heal in several days to 2 weeks.
The herpes simplex virus usually enters the body through a break in the skin around or inside the mouth. It is usually spread when a person touches a cold sore or touches infected fluid—such as from sharing eating utensils or razors, kissing an infected person, or touching that person's saliva. A parent who has a cold sore often spreads the infection to his or her child in this way. Cold sores can also be spread to other areas of the body.

CAn also be you are near passing a kidney stone. Which is 100% unrelated to a std.

This is the prodrome of genital herpes.
You get such sensation before the herpes erupts.
Please begin anti virals asap.

It can be absolutely painless, as in syphilis, or exquisitely painful as in herpes. Gonorrhea would be somewhere in between.
