There are some manhood problems that seem to make perfect sense. Got a sore member? That might be the result of overzealous self-pleasuring or a little too much coupling (hard to believe there is such a thing!). Got an itchy member? That might be the result of using a different cleanser or skipping a night of using moisturizing cream for the member. But what about a seed allergy? Even the best member care aficionado might not have an answer for that one!

What’s a seed allergy?

Many people have allergies to something, from grass and pollen to animals to dust. Some even have life-threatening allergies to various foods or chemicals. And still others have exceedingly rare allergies, like being allergic to sunlight. A seed allergy falls into that exceedingly rare category.

A seed allergy stems from one specific protein in a man’s seed that interacts in an unfavorable way with the immune system. When seed touches the skin, it results in rashes, hives, swelling, burning, itching, and other dermatological issues. For some, the allergy is so severe that coming into contact with seed can cause anaphylactic shock.

The consequences of this for a woman are obvious. A seed allergy makes it difficult, if not impossible, to engage in sensual play with a man. It also creates problems in other areas; for instance, a woman with a serious seed allergy who wants to get pregnant will likely have to undergo in vitro fertilization, so that the seed of her partner never actually touches her.

Though a seed allergy is most often found in women, men can be allergic to seed, too. In fact, a man can be allergic to his own seed! Talk about a serious entry in the world of manhood problems.

What can be done about a seed allergy?

Fortunately, there are a few options. A man who suffers from a seed allergy will want to avoid touching his own seed, for obvious reasons. When he self-pleasures, he must be sure to release in such a way that he won’t get any of the seed on himself. Coupling is a bit trickier, but some men who have only a mild allergy might be able to get away with hopping into the shower immediately after the fun is done, so as to rid themselves of seed and minimize the effects.

A man who suffers from a severe allergy might need the attention of an allergy specialist to figure out what to do. Desensitizing him to the allergen is usually a good step. This means the man will gradually be introduced to the seed, in small amounts, to allow his body to build up a resistance to the protein without actually going into full-tilt allergy mode. Over time, this can desensitize him so that he will no longer react so violently to the touch of seed on his skin. This works for women as well!

A man who develops a seed allergy needs to pay close attention to his overall health, including regular visits with the doctor, especially an allergist if necessary. He should also take care to use a top-quality male organ health crème (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin). There might be times when a man simply cannot avoid his own seed, and that can lead to redness, swelling, soreness and other problems for his manhood. A soothing crème with a healthy combination of alpha lipoic acid, vitamin C, vitamin D and other ingredients known for healing can be applied to help ease the pain. A guy should also look for Shea butter and vitamin E; the powerful hydration of these elements means he can avoid the dryness often associated with rashes and the like.
