Yes, an allergy to sex does exist, but it's not quite what you would imagine.

Though rare, there is an allergic reaction to the sperm protein, which causes itching and swelling after sexual intercourse, and sometimes more serious consequences.

In extremely rare cases, allergies can be caused by chemical compounds contained in the sperm, which come from food, drink, or medication.

The problem can also reside in the material and substances condoms, lubricants, or spermicides are made of.

If you suspect an allergy, consult your doctor for proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
