Some women do unfortunately have an allergic reaction to semen, but that's very rare. If you want to be super-careful, have some antihistamine tablets around in case of any burning or itching.
Actually, it's far more likely that you'd have a bad reaction to sex with a condom, since latex allergy is fairly common.
Being a guy, I have no idea what it feels like for a woman. I do fully understand your boyfriend's interest in doing this though. Personally, I'd rather go without PIV sex than have it with a condom.
You may already know this, but something that isn't mentioned very often in discussions about sex is that semen is not absorbed by the vagina. What goes in, will come out (apart from a tiny proportion of the total volume which will be swimming away looking for something productive to do). Lots of people keep a hand towel by the bed to deal with the leakage (and that's not necessarily your job - guys should be willing to help deal with the aftermath as well). Many women head for the toilet soon after sex - although making a dash for the door immediately after he collapses in a comatose heap isn't very romantic. It's a good idea for women to pee as soon as possible after sex in any case, since this reduces the chance of a urinary tract infection. My understanding is that if you bear down while you're on the toilet, a lot of the semen inside you will come out.
However, I have read accounts from women in various places saying that they find it dribbling out up to 24 hours later, and they make a habit of using a light pad or tampon the day after.
As far as smell is concerned, this is a very subjective thing and one that will depend to some extent of your vaginal chemistry and microbiological flora and how it reacts to his semen. If you find his semen smells strongly, then it's safe to assume your vagina will too after he puts some in it.
Women have obviously been dealing with semen in their vaginas for a couple million years. If it was a hugely traumatic event, our species would have died out long ago.
IIN I'm afraid to let my boyfriend cum inside me?

I assume you're certain that he has no STIs?
