A member asked:

How to combat vaginal irritation during sex, especially sharp after ejaculation?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Condoms: Semen has an alkaline pH and the vagina is acidic. Some women can be very sensitive to the change in pH and using condoms to keep the semen from contacting the vagina will help.
