Semen allergy suspected in rare post-orgasm illness (http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE70G00D20110117)
LONDON (Reuters) - A mysterious syndrome in which men come down with a flu-like illness after an orgasm may be caused by an allergy to semen, Dutch scientists said on Monday.
Men with the condition, known as post orgasmic illness syndrome or POIS and documented in medical journals since 2002, get flu-like symptoms such as feverishness, runny nose, extreme fatigue and burning eyes immediately after they ejaculate. Symptoms can last for up to week.
Marcel Waldinger, a professor of sexual psychopharmacology at Utrecht University in the Netherlands, published two studies in the Journal of Sexual Medicine which suggest that men with POIS have an allergy to their own semen, and that a treatment known as hyposensitization therapy can help reduce its impact.
:lulz:
Sometimes i get that. :|
There's a vaccination for that.
Get married.
:rimshot:
Hey, I didn't say anything about giving up jokes.
"Hyposensitization Therapy" =?= "SHUT UP AND SWALLOW."
That's really sad.

Hyposensitization Therapy = GET INJECTED WITH SMALL AMOUNTS OF YOUR OWN SEMEN FOR 5 YEARS!

And that is just how long they are willing to give you the shots, if you are still allergic after 5 years, you either suffer thru it or go celibate. The study I saw said that if they couldn't relieve symptoms after 5 years, they showed no improvement in continued treatments in test subjects.
That sucks. "I'm sorry, everytime you have fulfilling sex you will have an acute allergic reaction and be miserable for up to a week, and there is not a damn thing we can do..... "
How terrible is that?

Really?
Yes, but not always. But symptoms only last about a day.
That's even more bizarre.
Is it bad enough that you'd have nurses inject you with your own semen?

wow. that would suck. :sad:
as an aside, does anybody else here have any anesthetic properties to their presentation?
Well, my PowerPoints have been known to put people to sleep. Does that count?
no. not general. just local....
and now, upon completion tonight, i will probably think of the term 'Power Points', as a euphamism...
hm... some joke here about a 'slide show', im certain.
Yeah, my husband and I had to abstain while he was neutropenic because he could get sick from his own semen. Pretty sad.

I would have bet so much on it being a joke article leading to this.

"All men who suffer from this condition are advised to abstain from wearing condoms during intercourse, to limit contact with their own semen as much as possible."
