In less severe form it can be the reason some women "smell like fish"

Stories of semen allergies like this one pop up in the news every so often. I can't remember which show I caught on television that had a segment on it a couple of years ago.
Anyway, apparently even Dr. Oz mentioned it on the Oprah show in 2009. I wonder if this is becoming more common. Imagine a world where the majority of the (now dwindling) female population is allergic to semen.
I feel a plot bunny sniffing at my ankles.

I saw this on TV also. The couple was trying to conceive, but the allergic reaction was causing her to suffer severe skin irritation and chronic pain. They went to several different doctors over the space of two or three years, I recall, before it was finally resolved.

I think 'ER' had a bit about this.

A woman allergic to sperm is inconceivable.

*rimshot*
I knew a woman once who had an allergy to semen. She found out about it when she was, um, younger, and her boyfriend at the time coaxed her into giving him a blowjob. Being a typical guy, he didn't warn her when "the moment" came, and she ended up swallowing some of it before spitting the rest on his face (kudos to her).
About half an hour later, she had a burning sensation in her throat and was finding it hard to breathe. Later, after she'd gotten to the emergency room, she developed a rash. The staff at the hospital asked her what she had eaten that night. As if she was going to admit what she'd swallowed.
It wasn't until years later that she discovered the truth, but wisely, since that first occasion, she never allowed a guy to cum in her mouth again, and after discovering the allergy, almost never went down on a guy.
Which is why she and I were just friends (just kidding).

Good for you.
At least neither of us experienced the sperm allergy though. First time I've heard that in relation to sex itself. Just heard of it relating to fertility. Must be a real inconvenience.

It's sometimes strange how the human body reacts to what, for the majority of us, is a completely normal and even necessary thing. My wife, for example. Thankfully, she has no allergy to semen, but when she was pregnant, her body reacted as if she was having a full-blown allergic reaction to pregnancy. Rashes, swelling (beyond the expected swelling), headaches, etc. Her doctor had to give her prescription-strength antihistamines just to combat the symptoms.

My understanding is that it was a "why not?" trial on the doctor's part. It just happened to work.

Sounds like your wife had a good doc..I was lucky to get something to prevent me from throwing up 24/7 for 9 months. I had to beg for that. Anyway, glad I no longer have to deal with those issues.

Neither do we. We have only our Little One, who's about to turn seven, and there's practically no hope for a sibling for her (as much as she would like one). By all accounts, like her mother and sister, my wife will probably hit menopause early.

The abstract quoted was woefully incomplete.
I think whoever wrote that sheer crap needs her head fixing; either that or the editorial board needs a bump. Unless whoever told the newly-weds about sex didn't do a thorough job.
“It was a real problem,” Jeff said. “Because everything else was great. We were madly in love, but it was a real game-changer for a while. It pretty much dramatically reduced our libido. We really haven’t had much sex at all for the last 10 months. The intimacy level drops dramatically — all of a sudden, instead of living with your new wife or husband, you are more like roommates.”
“I feel like we actually started to define ourselves — minimizing things to avoid sex. I started thinking I wouldn’t wear sexy underwear. What seemed like medical problems had bigger effects,” Clara added.
Reduced our libido?. There's all the other nocturnal fun to be had.
And it didn't mention whether her reaction was system-wide or more local (blow-job or a good lickin' ?)
From that dreary piece, you'd think the couple were in a sex-free zone or
something.
A farer piece on the couple is here:
Or have I missed something ?

Could it have something to do with her husband's diet? Maybe he's consuming things she's allergic to?
For the longest time I wasn't allergic to anything {except an intolerance to alcohol}, but after consuming large amounts of wheat gluten throughout my life {very prominent in just about everything in our food today} I developed lactose-intolerance, allergies to shellfish {I get acute urticaria (hives) - from my skull to my toes and every place else}, and other unpleasant side-effects. Fortunately, I haven't become a full-fledged Celiac. That would be awful.
Now that I buy everything gluten-free, I'm healthier, happier, and am much more energetic. I'm still lactose intolerant and I still have severe shellfish allergies, but overall, my health is improving. I've only been on a gluten-free diet for three months {ever since a bad episode that gave me perpetual and severe stomach pains that rendered me immobile for about three days!}, so hopefully, I'll be back to how I've always been, and how I'd been six years ago, but gluten is definitely off limits for me.

I actually know a woman who is allergic to sperm, or more so, the protein in the ejaculate. Hers was so severe, that she and her husband had to do in vitro fertilization, but his cum had to be treated in a lab to extract the sperm from the rest to fertilize her.

Was it against their religion to use condoms??? Or toys?
Also, his semen is what bothered her, not his tongue. I understand sex can lead to him cumming, but full abstinence is the only way to avoid the allergic reaction?
Either way, that's a horrible situation for them.
