Well, this is surely one way to get out of having sex with your husband. After two years of dating, Mike, 27, and Julie Boyde, 26, decided to have unprotected sex for the first time on their wedding night with disastrous results. “Before, we were always very careful and used protection — this time we didn’t,’ said Julie. “We figured, ‘we’re married, if we get pregnant, we get pregnant.’” So they went for it and Julie immediately felt intense pain, “like somebody sticking needles up inside of me like a real painful burning. It was really scary.” Medical tests eventually showed that Julie suffers from something called seminal plasma hypersensitivity, which basically means she’s allergic to Mike’s sperm and her body reacts to it with swelling, itching, and inflammation of the nerve endings. “The pain, and at times blisters, would go on for weeks,” Julie said. “On a scale of one to ten, it’s pretty much ten.” The Boydes have now abandoned their plan to conceive naturally and have started adoption proceedings. Hopefully, for everyone’s benefit, Mike got himself a vasectomy. [via Daily Mail]
