I've asked this before, but the answers I got didn't work, so I'm reaching out for other ideas.
My boyfriend is getting an itchy rash on his penis when we have sex. It was suggested that lubrication might be the problem, but when I tried using some lube it hasn't helped. I don't have a yeast infection, and my last obgyn appointment (a week ago) was normal. He thinks my ph might be off and its irritating his skin, but I would think that would be a pretty massive imbalance. I haven't changed any skin products, and the only way my diet has changed in the past month (thats how long this has been happening) is that I am eating less fat. He only has this problem during sex.
Any suggestions?

My last OBGYN appointment, last Monday, was normal. No infections.

It's not pH imbalance which is the problem...it's pH DIFFERENCE which might be causing the allergic reaction your partner is experiencing. I assume that your partner does not experience such allergies during oral sex, does he? The vaginal interior of a woman is relatively acidic compared to, say, the mouth. The pH difference may be enough for your partner's genitalia to have an allergic reaction, which may also manifest in other parts of your partners body when exposed to an environment with a lower pH.
Since your partner only feels it, as you say, during sexual intercourse, your partner may have an atypical allergic reaction. If you are clear for any infections, I suggest your partner see an allergist in this case, since there is a possibility that he has an infection (a little unlikely, since he does not present other symptoms of a sexually transmitted infection, such as fever, purulent urethral discharge, and the like), or he may just have sensitive skin for the matter.
In the meantime, try experimenting, such as abstaining from intercourse for some time. Note the number of days upon refraining and prior to performing intercourse again, and see if there are any differences in the allergic reaction, should anything change.
Hope this helps!
