Is it possible to be allergic to seminal fluid?

Hi, I was wondering if it's possible to be allergic to seminal fluid? My husband and I have been married for close to 2 years, and  I seem to have a mild reaction after sex if we don't use condoms.  I currently have no allergies, be it food or environmental, so I can't think of anything else that would cause these symptoms.

After sex, if we don't use a condom, my labia start to swell and there is a slight stinging/itching sensation.  It goes away after about 4-5 hours, but it's very uncomfortable. I just wanted to know if this was a common issue, or if it was something I needed to get checked.

I don't know how common this occurs but; I've heard of hypersensitivities to seminal fluids.  Perhaps, you should both be checked out... the problem may not have anything to do with you... the cause may be something that he needs to attend to.
