Allergic to sex!!!!!!!! - Allergies Message Board

I have had multilpe severe allergies to most everything all my life. And now since I met my fiance, three years ago, I think I have another.

Every time we have sex, and he orgasms, within about two minutes, my skin (face, arms, chest, etc.) is soooo itchy, and I literally dig at them with my fingernails, which often leaves scars and popped blood vessels. It feels like it's on fire!!!

If this is an allergy, what can I do about it? I already use budesonide daily, as well as OTC meds. And is there any actual way to confirm this?

Maybe is isn't him having an orgasm that is causing this. Maybe he is using a detergent, soap, or cologne that is making its way to you by the constant rubbing between you during sex. You may be just allergic to something he is using. I would seriously check it out and start asking him questions.
Hope you feel better!

It is possible to be allergic to ejaculate. Last year the TV show E.R. even had an episode on this. Speak with your Gynecologist about this because it may present a problem once you decide to conceive.

Zuzu23,
I just re-engaged to my fiance last week. I know this is difficult for both of you. I would highly recommend two things. One is therapy; I recommend cognitive behavioral or Gestalt training for the therapist. For your allergies I recommend either hypnosis and/or NAET. Search engines should give you plenty of hits. BTW I did hear about removing the allergic reactions to allergins to even orgasms. Best of happiness.

If you use a condom, it could be a latex allergy.
