Semen 'makes women happy'

Women exposed to their partner's semen during sex may find themselves feeling happier than those who use a condom, say scientists.
Scientists in the US believe the mood-altering hormones in semen absorbed through the vagina help to boost women's mood.

Semen contains a range of hormones, including testosterone and oestrogen, both of which have been shown to improve mood.

However, they warned that their findings should not be used to encourage people to practise unsafe sex.

Gordon Gallup and colleagues at the State University of New York divided 293 female students into groups on the basis of how often their partners wore condoms.

Mood tests

They used standard psychological tests to assess how happy they were and their overall mood.

They found that women whose partners never used condoms were happiest. They were followed by women whose partners sometimes used condoms.

Women whose partners always used or usually used condoms were less happy.

The study, details of which are published in New Scientist magazine, also found that a lack of sexual intercourse made some women depressed.

Women whose partners never or sometimes used condoms became more depressed the longer they went without sex.

However, there was no similar pattern for those women whose partners usually or always used condoms.

The scientists also found that depression and suicide attempts were more common among those women whose partners used condoms regularly.

Further evidence

Mr Gallup told the magazine that an extended study on more than 700 women has backed up these findings.

He added that other factors such as how often the women had sex, the strength of their relationships, their personalities or the use of oral contraceptives did not affect the overall conclusions.

Mr Gallup said the findings may also apply to women who engage in unprotected oral sex and people who engage in anal sex. But he said further research was needed in these areas.

But Mr Gallup, whose study will be published in the journal Archives of Sexual Behaviour, urged couples to continue to practise safe sex.

"I want to make it clear that we are not advocating that people abstain from using condoms," he said.

"Clearly an unwanted pregnancy or a sexually transmitted disease would more than offset any advantageous psychological effects of semen."

wouldn't you think that women who were having sex with guys without condoms are going to have a tendency to be women who are dating/seeing/like/trust/know the last name of/etc said guy who is attached to the penis? i mean, if the partners are using condoms don't you think it's common sence that there is some small amount, maybe even unconciously, of distrust there? not to mention potential for discomfort/random allergic reations and potential for less spontaneous sex.

Just seems obvious to me, there's too many other reasons to get the same findings. and the pool of females were all college students, so maybe semen only makes 18-24 year olds happy? lol, whatev... =P

"Women whose partners never or sometimes used condoms became more depressed the longer they went without sex.

However, there was no similar pattern for those women whose partners usually or always used condoms."

so....semen withdrawl? lol.

"Mr Gallup said the findings may also apply to women who engage in unprotected oral sex and people who engage in anal sex. But he said further research was needed in these areas."

Haha~ i'm sure Mrs. Gallup is thrilled *rolls eyes*
 
Ummm, tauruskatt while this is the versus forum that is meant for debate I think this topic was posted more as a joke, If this had been posted in the offtopic a flamewar would have erupted within 2 pages.

But perhaps someone will popup who would enjoy debating this with you. :lol:

haha, no, i didn't take it too seriously, although, on second thought, i don't think i want to be debating any ejaculatory issues with anyone on this board, TMI, TMI...

[quote name='PittsburghAfterDark']I don't have words for how happy WhipSmartBanky's reply made me feel inside.[/QUOTE]

it was the testostorone and oestregen, man. =P

:lol: Sorry, I just thought I would warn you since some people just see topics like this in the versus board and get really pissed off, so I just thought I would warn you. It's probably the least used part of the site and it is often used for jokes/topics that wouldn't work well in the off-topic forum. If you haven't noticed already replies here don't make the front page, it would look rather bad if someone just poped who normally surfs the deals thread suddently clicked on a front-page hotlink to "how many of you do drugs".
 
You know what I found odd about the study?
This line: Semen contains a range of hormones, including testosterone and oestrogen, both of which have been shown to improve mood.

The strange thing there is that while testorone increases the development of the right side of the brain and has many benefits when it comes to shifting the probablities of heart problems and the like, men with high levels of testostorone are usually miserable bastards that are more apt to pick fights, beat thier wives, be unemployed, and generally engage in more dangeorus behaviors.

It's kind of odd that something in low doses would have such a dissimilar effect as a higher, yet not toxic, level of exposure.

Not really, think alcohol. Nice, pleasant happy feeling at first, :puke: later.

But alcohol is a poison, testosterone is only one in extremly high doses. Alcohol is used to sterilize things.

If you want to go jerk off a dog, be my guest.
Field Research is the only way for this one. :lol:

You've already surpassed the level of toxicity there, however.
Despite the fact that people enjoy the early stages of this toxicity, it is toxicity never the less.

Tesosterone can cause these problems at even a non-toxic level.

Its not like I wouldn't use gloves :whistle2:?
 
I've found that "releasing" the semen has made me very happy as well. Maybe I should add to these studies.

Nothing gives me greater joy, than to give an ounce and a half of protein enriched, mood-altering throat yogart.

Psycho-semen-actic!!!
 
This is the third or forth study on this, nothing new.

Sex prevents the common cold, bald men get more sex, skacken not stired is better, yadda yadda.
