My boyfriend and I are in a long distance relationship, and we see each other about every other week depending on our job schedules. When we have sex, it's great. He's perfect. The only thing that bugs me is that sometimes I have slight itching around my vulva about 6 hours after we have sex. We use latex condoms with spermicide, he and I are both tested and clean of any STIs or HPV, and we use condom-safe lube that's compatable with the pH of my vagina. Could the itching just be irritation from the irregularity, or do I need to be worried about an allergy of some kind? I've never had an adverse reaction to latex (I was a biology student and wore latex gloves often) and the lube never irritates my hands or any other part of my body. I ALWAYS pee after we have sex, ALWAYS wipe front to back, and ALWAYS read the labels of anything we use to make sure there are no irritants. It seems like even though we're doing everything right, I still have some minor itching down there after we have sex. Since we aren't together as often as most couples, could the irritation just be from the irregularity? The spermicide? Or do I need to be worried about something bigger?
