>Thanks so much for your reply. We kept a rather extensive log for a while including both of our diets and habits as well as length of foreplay, intensity of sex, ect. and could not seem to find a link. I have no problems with his semen on my external skin. He thinks the problem has more to do with him than me but both of our doctors have dismissed the idea. I am interested in the idea of research. How does a person get involved in that? Would it best to go thru my gyn? We live in the midwest. Any suggestions? Thanks again.
