Could I be allergic to certain condom brands?

[3_little_pigs]

I'm curious if other men have experienced what I'm feeling. It doesn't happen often but when it does it gives me a lot of anxiety.

It's hard for me to explain what it is that I feel in my groin area but it usually lasts anywhere from a couple of days to maybe a week or so. I guess I'm what you could call a safe hobbiest. I don't partake in daty, dkf, bbbj or ps but for some reason I feel something after engaging in cfs and I'm wondering if it could be because of a certain condom brand or maybe the provider had bad hygiene?

I get tested regularly and it's always negative. I'm thankful for that but what ever it is that is causing this discomfort is driving me nuts.

The best way I can describe it is a feeling of skin irritation. The weird thing is that the whole groin area doesn't feel irritated. It's like little sections of the groin. It's really hard to explain. I've tried talking to different doctors and none of them have been able to tell me what is causing this. They always take a look at my balls, say that they don't see any bumps or lesions, take some blood, tell me to pee in a cup and send me on my way.

So I'm basically wondering.... do you experience anything like this and if so do you know what is causing it.

Thanks in advance.

P.s. cancer has been ruled out. Forgot to mention that.

Latex allergy? Or spermicide allergy?

I haven't had exactly what your saying but I've had some very minor transient tingling on occasion. All test results, including the added extra herpes viruses have always been negative. I will say in your case it's extremely unlikely it's a STI since you're safe, and it doesn't correspond to any STI symptoms I've heard of.

I think most of it is in our heads, and maybe some actual very mild irritation from condom/lube. I remember even when I was with my long term ex's I'd get some irritation from what I assume was the friction and pounding.

Try non-latex condoms next time and see what happens.

Skyns are non-latex, as far as I know. Most SP's are fine with you using your own Skyns as they're a well-known brand.

Why not go to an allergist and get tested to what you’re allergic to
