Sexual hypersensitivity.
A variety of genital conditions appear to be precipitated by sexual intercourse in susceptible individuals. Some of these conditions represent true immunological hypersensitivity reactions whereas others have a nonimmunological basis and reflect an increased reactivity or sensitivity to sex by the individual concerned. This article introduces the term "sexual hypersensitivity" as a means of classifying these reactions.
