Q.
Whenever I give my husband oral sex and there is semen on his penis, the back of my mouth feels like it is going numb and my throat feels like it is closing up on me. Could I possibly be allergic to him?
A.
Do you use any lubricants that might get on his penis, perhaps during foreplay? That could be the cause of an allergic reaction. Or it could be something as simple as performance anxiety: We can get panic-type symptoms when we're not sure about what we're doing. However, because of the "numbness" and feeling like your throat is "closing up," this situation concerns me. I suggest you discuss it with your health-care provider. Although it's quite rare for someone to have an allergic reaction to semen, it's not impossible.

I am allergic to semen. When I was in high school, I was informed by my health care provider that "There is no way I could be allergic to sperm" because it's so rare. She did tests for every STD under the sun and finally sent me away with a clean bill of health. Now that I have a little more experience, I know that yes, I have a senstitivity to semen, especially if we try to have sex a second time (within a few minutes). Yes, it is rare but not as rare as you may think. If you've been cleared of having a yeast infection or STI, don't beleive when people tell you that semen allergies/sensitivities are too rare for you to have one.

I think I might also be alergic to my fiance's sperm. Because I am on birth control, we don't normally use a condom. Afterwords I always have a really bad burning sensation inside and outside my vigina. (This only seems to happen when we don't use a condom) What do you think- could it be something else besides an alergic reaction?
