i was wondering if anyone on here is allergic to latex condoms or knows anyone who has this kind of allergy. i just recently started having sex for the first time and i noticed some irritation afterwards. i dont know if it is just because my body isn't used to it yet, or if i may have an allergy. i am, however, able to blow up balloons, where latex gloves, and so on. i have never had any irriation whatsoever with these kinds of things. is it possible to be allergic to latex only in your genital area?

I agree, if you're able to handle latex on other parts of your body, I would suspect that the irritation is simply from having sex.
