he came inside of me and it stings
Hey. First off, let me say that i am 20 years old and he is 24. I have been on birth control for 2 years, but we always used a condom. I get tested for STD's once a year, and actually went in december, and im in the clear. So is my boyfriend, we have only been sexually active with each other. So yesterday my boyfriend came inside of me without using a condom, and about 10 minutes later it started to sting, and when i went to pee, it hurt to wipe. I researched this when he left, and on a lot of websites, it said i could be "allergic to the proteins in his semen". Well, to me, that seems like a load of crap (no offence). But im no doctor, im studying to be an english teacher. I'm asking for opinions, experiences, and medical help.
-has anyone had this happen before?
-is it likely that im allergic to his semen?
-is there anyway to stop the burning?
THANK YOU!

Maybe give some free advice about: STD Information?
I had it happen with one partner. Like you, when I first read about semen allergies I thought it was complete bullshit.
We both went to the doctors. Got checked out repeatedly and were fine. The doctor told me that most women who think they have semen intolerance, actually don't and have other STIs or often a persistent low grade yeast infection, but that some actually do have an intolerance. She told me to do a simple test: Take Claritin before we had sex, and see if it decreases the irritation. If it does, it’s likely an intolerance, similar to the many things that give me hives… (not an allergy, which is really extremely rare and often life-threatening, just an intolerance.)
And yep, Claritin didn’t solve the problem completely, but it definitely decreased it. I’ll also just throw out there that I DID responds to oral sex as well. It almost always gave me a scratchy throat the next day.
There is no one here (not as far as I know) who can give you medical advice. I can say I didn’t response to all men this way (I only had one partner in my life where we didn’t use condoms).
You should probably go back to a doctor and explain the exact problem. STI checks aren’t designed to be comprehensive. They often just look for the big common STIs. Go back and discuss the problem and let the doctor do whatever additional tests make sense. If you have any other allergies, you might do what I did and try your standard allergy treatment course, but either way, going back to a doctor is a probably your first step.
