"  Newlyweds &amp;quot;Jeff&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Clara&amp;quot; were in for a surprise when they consummated their vows after waiting until marriage to have sex. Instead of finding that they were mind-blowingly compatible in bed, they learned that Clara was allergic to her hubby&amp;#039;s sperm. Hello, honeymoon buzzkill. After exploring the possible causes of her swelling and burning sensation (see: not-so-pleasant STDs), she found that she had seminal plasma hypersensitivity, an allergic reaction to the proteins in Jeff&amp;#039;s jizz, according to Salon. According to Dr. Jonathan Bernstein, who treated the couple, between 20,000 and 40,000 women in the U.S experience similar reactions. And it&amp;#039;s not the first sex-related allergy either, considering the number of men and women who have issues with latex and lube. But don&amp;#039;t despair, it&amp;#039;s not the end of the world\u2014or your sex life\u2014if you break out in hives after doing the deed. The condition is curable. Clara went through a series of intravaginal injections that has ultimately left her with a reported small of amount of post-coital swelling for now. And it sounds like she&amp;#039;s back in the saddle. Want more from Jessica? Follow her on Twitter. Credit: Getty Images/Goodshoot "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
