I gave it to a partner once, developed in to a full blown kidney infection and they were off work for a fortnight in tremendous pain. If he thinks he might have cystitis or any urinary infection, he needs to see a doctor, it is very serious in men.

I believe he couldn't ,look at these facts:
Causes :
Sex
Often women get this infection when they become sexually active. It is natural for some bacteria to make its way into the bladder during intercourse, but this does not have to cause a problem. It is only when the bladder is not emptying properly, or becomes overrun with bacteria that the infection really takes hold.
Fluids
Women who don’t drink enough fluids often get urinary tract infections, because the bladder is never full enough to empty completely.
Irregular urination
Infrequent visits to the bathroom can cause a woman to be more susceptible to urinary tract infections. The longer urine stays in the bladder, the more the bacteria can multiply. For good hygiene, women are also encouraged to wipe from front to back to avoid the spread of bacteria.
Lower back pain
Physical stress, caused by the wearing of high heels, exercising improperly, or during pregnancy adds pressure on the bladder that can keep it from emptying completely.
Other irritants
Nylon underwear and tight-fitting clothing that continually rub against the mouth of the urinary tract or the labia can cause abrasions onto which bacteria can latch. Tampons and sanitary pads must also be replaced regularly.
What you can do
Drink enough fluids to ensure the passage of 1,5 - 2 litres of urine a day
Take something to alkalinise the urine (this will stop the burning) e.g. Citrosoda
Get an antibiotic from your doctor if the infection persists.
Women should empty the bladder after sexual intercourse
Avoid spermicidal creams and diaphragm contraceptives as both of these are associated with a higher incidence of urinary tract infection.
It is worth sticking to the above precautionary measures, as 40 percent of cystitis sufferers have recurring infections within a year. And this could become an ongoing nightmare.

Can Men Get Cystitis

Cystitis is a water infection. Not transmittable.
It caused by larger amounts of bacteria than normal.
Mine is caused by stress.
Cranberry juice is very good. Stay well away from acid foods and drinks. Drink plenty of water as well. Don't go to the loo as soon as you feel the urge. I know it hurts, but the longer you hang on the better.

Cystitis is very common in women because women have a short urethra very much open to the outside world.
Men have a very much longer urethra, it's closed to the outside world and not likely to come into contact with your urethra anyway.
It's theoretically possible, but not very likely that you'd transmit it to him.

It is very possible that your partner can catch cystitis whilst you are infected. It is also recommended that to reduce the possibilty of this more minor bladder infection progressing to a more acute kidney infection that sexual intercourse is avoided until the infection has cleared. however if you do not want to abstain using a condom may reduce the risks overall.

"cystitis" is a bladder infection. Due to plumbing differences, it is unlikely that your boyfriend can catch it (though it would be better if you acknowledged that the act of marriage is indeed an act of marriage, and referred to him as "husband"- without "benefit" of clergy) However by nature it is communicable.
