Dr. Suzanne Fiala answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

Several possibilitie: This could mean the female has some type of vaginitis infection or irritation that has nothing to do with the semen. Or, rarely, a woman can have an allergic sensitivity to a particular man's semen. It is not dangerous, just "irritating". To be safe you should both be tested to rule out any std's.
