I have succeeded in suppressing the ejaculatory reflex after
orgasm WITHOUT using the epididymus muscle (the one I believe
between the anus and the scrotum). Therefore the sperm and
ejaculate come into the penile shaft but aren't expelled. After
about an hour of such activity I develop a pronounced
anaphylactoid reaction -- which on the last occasion had to be
treated with cortisone which I had available. I've read that
sperm kept in the body can create such autoimmune responses.
Can you tell me more about this? I'm very concerned.

Dear Dan,
It appears to me that you have “succeeded” in mastering a technique which is only detrimental to your health. I am still unclear from reading your question as to why you even attempt to suppress your ejaculation? In response to your question,epididymus is a structure which is an extention of each testicle . This is not a muscle , but serves as a port where sperm from the testicle matures before heading out to fertilize an egg. Furthermore, anaphylactoid reactions to semen of a sexual partner is a known ,however uncommon, entity in a female recipient . Anaphylaxis to one’s own semen/sperm on the otherhand is not .a described phenomenon. You should be certain that you are not developing a latex allergy due to the use of latex condoms, since this could lead to anaphlylactoid reactions.
With respect to autoimmune response to sperm, this is seen in individuals with history of genitourinary inflammation, testicular injury or torsion and a previous vasectomy. Antibodies that are formed in these conditions are against the sperm and may cause infertility , but are not known to cause anaphylaxis or allergic reactions. You , however should consult an allergist for a thorough evaluation. More individualized care is available at the Henry Ford Hospital and its urban campuses by calling (1 800 653 6568). We can also arrange local accommodations through this number if this is your need. Please bring any physicians’ notes and lab test results that you may be able to obtain. These will help us greatly.
