You need to get that checked out by a doctor. A swollen lymph node is not related to sexual activity. It could mean something far more serious.

Lymph nodes are present all over the body.
The purpous of lymph nodes are to circulate and clean the blood.
Swollen lymph nodes occur when they are filled with dead white blood cells.
A swollen lymph node could be any of the following things.
Build up of dead cells from infection. (This does not mean you currently have an infection). It could be cancer, Or just an actual infection or irritation on the lymph nodes.
It has nothing to do with your sexual activity.
If its bothering you visit a doctor. If not wait it out for a couple days and see if it gets better. If not, go to the doctor.

Do you mean a "swollen" lymph node by any chance? If you do, it could man a lot of things. Please go to your doctor and find out if you have an infection of some kind. This would be the only reason for your lymph nodes to swell.

A swollen inguinal lymph node could mean you have some type of infection. See your doctor.

For starters, I would suggest you see a doctor, but from my experience, it could possibly be an ingrown hair, or just a very large pimple (boil) that will more than likely go away on it's own. Just be sure to clean it thoroughly, and use alcohol on a cotton ball afterwards. It may be around for a couple of days, but will go away.
