Yes, male can get a yeast infection from sexual contact with a woman who has a vaginal yeast infection. The same yeast that causes vaginal infections in women can cause infections of the penis in men. However, just because your girlfriend has a genital yeast infection doesn't mean you'll get one.
Signs and symptoms of a male yeast infection include a red rash, itching or burning at the tip of your penis. Fortunately, most male yeast infections are easily treated with over-the-counter antifungal treatments, such as Monistat.
To treat a male yeast infection, apply the medication directly to the affected skin twice daily for a week. If the rash doesn't go away or if it recurs frequently, consult your doctor. Persistent or recurrent yeast infections can be associated with other medical conditions such as diabetes.
When one partner has a genital yeast infection, it's important for both partners to get treatment. Your girlfriend could infect you, treat her own infection and then get reinfected by having sex with you again. For this reason, it's generally recommended that you refrain from sexual intercourse until all signs and symptoms of the infection are gone.

Men typically don't get yeast infections. If they do, it is transfered from a female partner. Do you have any other symptoms? Any other discharges or sensations? The laundry thing could be the issue. You be better goin camando then wearin dirty undies. My mom hated it when I got lazy in college and did that. LOL! But you'd probably be better off.

Yes, mostly from antibiotics. Thrush in the mouth is actually a yeast infection, and men certainly get that, from taking antibiotics.

Their jock itch is a yeast infection.
They get it from heat, sweat, uncleanliness, eating too much sugar, having an unbalance in their digestive system.
