Brief Answer:
This could be just from stress.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Yes even the male can have the same pleasure.
If you have shoes on there even if it was needle there is no risk for infections.

This situation could be related just with stress but I think that you should do an electrocardiograme just as a precaution.
