You certainly cannot consider yourself lucky if you suffer from some more or less severe allergic form. And if the allergen is not a mite, a type of pollen or a food but it is sex, then the problems are serious. Yet this is not a joke at all. An American research has just studied the phenomenon and declared it totally real (unfortunately). Here are the symptoms of the most curious (and sad) allergy that affects mankind. Allergy to sex: the study
The study in question was conducted on about a thousand volunteers and the discovery is due to the University of Cincinnati which has bad news for us. You can become allergic to sex at any time in your life. And the manifestations are the most varied. But you can recognize them. The research results were presented at the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology in Philadelphia. How can you be allergic to sex
It is never possible that the only free and enjoyable practice we have available should be undermined by a simple allergy
Obviously yes: according to scientists it is a form of intolerance that can occur especially in women of seminal fluid.Allergy to sex: the fault of the man or the woman
It seems that the worst manifestations are found in the woman, therefore it is she who finds the allergy. And, if we really have to talk about guilt, we must give it to the male gender. In fact, it seems that the problem occurs much more likely if the boy follows an incorrect diet or has taken antibiotics (especially penicillins). In such cases the spermatic fluid may contain proteins secreted by the prostate gland that cause an allergic form in the partner. What are the symptoms of sex allergy
Symptoms can be very varied, but the most common are vaginal swelling or irritation, difficulty breathing, hives, dermatitis and eczema. The people most at risk are women who already have other types of allergic manifestations of both respiratory and skin type. The cure for sex allergy
Unlike other forms of allergy, this kind of intolerance provides a cure that will certainly please everyone: having sex for a minimum of three times a week. In this way the immune system is desensitized. Another option is to use a condom – hoping not to be allergic to latex. Sperm purification
In rather severe cases of sperm allergy, a rather particular procedure called sperm washing can be chosen. It is a method used in patients suffering from severe infections (AIDS) or hepatitis C. To wash the sperm, a sample is taken which is then subjected to cleaning in order to purify it from any harmful microorganisms. This then allows for “clean” sperm to be implanted in a woman’s body in order to achieve pregnancy. The technique has its usefulness in case it is not impossible to have sexual intercourse. But it goes without saying that we miss the most beautiful moment of conception. Scientific sources
