A common cause of infertility in men and women is the development of 
antibodies to sperm.  If you have access to a medical school library, 
look into any recent book on human infertility.  The reason people 
develop allergies to sperm is that they are considered "not self" by the 
immune system, even the immune system of the man who produces the sperm.
