Instead of finding that they were mind-blowingly compatible in bed, they learned that Clara was allergic to her hubby'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'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's not the first sex-related allergy either, considering the number of men and women who have issues with latex and lube. But don't despair, it'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's back in the saddle.Want more from Jessica? Follow her on Twitter.Credit: Getty Images/Goodshoot"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
