7. Sperm Allergy

Also called seminal plasma hypersensitivity, sperm allergy is an underreported reaction that some researchers believe may affect up to 10 percent of women. Between 10 and 30 minutes after having unprotected sex with their partners, these women experience itching and inflammation where the sperm made contact. Doctors are uncertain about the exact cause, but they suspect medication, food, or a prostate-specific antigen in the seminal fluid.
