Hormones in Semen Shown to Make Women Feel Good
Wed Jun 26, 2:09 PM ET

LONDON (Reuters) - Hormones in semen may help to ease female depression because women whose partners don't use condoms are less likely to feel down.


Scientists at the State University of New York suspect the mood-altering hormones are absorbed through the vagina and make women feel good but they stressed that their results are not an excuse for unprotected sex.

"I want to make it clear that we are not advocating that people abstain from using condoms," Gordon Gallup, who led the study, told New Scientist magazine on Wednesday.

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

The researchers assessed the moods of 300 female students using a standard questionnaire. A score of more than 17 was considered moderately depressed.

Women whose partners never used condoms scored about eight on the test while those who never had sex without condoms scored 11.3. Women who weren't having sex at all scored about 13.5.

Depression in the students who sometimes or never used condoms was more severe the longer they went without sex.

The scientists said they looked at other factors, such as the use of oral contraceptives, frequency of sex and personality type, but found that none could account for the findings.

The magazine said the results are not a complete surprise because scientists know that semen contains several mood-altering hormones including testosterone.

"Some of these have been detected in a woman's blood within hours of exposure to semen," the magazine said.

The scientists suspect semen will have the same effect on women regardless of how they are exposed to it.

Having been married for the past 21 years...I haven't had a need for using condoms and rarely used them prior to that time.

Having sex regularly definitely improves my disposition but it's difficult to judge whether that is due to the lack of condoms.

Well do you find a change in your attitude post-exposure and what about?

"The scientists suspect semen will have the same effect on women regardless of how they are exposed to it."

Well, if I'm able to walk, I walk around with a silly smile on my face. I love everyone and everything and life couldn't possibly be better.

But seriously, the majority of women don't care about the size, it's what you do with it that counts Besides, smaller guys try harder.

Hmm... So would a woman in this situation look anything like this?

[barrk]

Hehehe....could be

[joan_fl]

LOL I would have to agree with the article... but I would say the same is for men... but reversed.

If the hormone is not released, it makes them act like a horses ass. When they do get rid of the hormone, or become low, they have a gentle kindness, and even a certain swagger to their walk.

But for my whole reverse theory, I guess it must be taken from the man by a woman. Cause some men get rid of the hormone three or four times a day.... and never have that swagger.

[barrk]

No, they just have hair on their palms and they're blind, right?

I've been depressed for about 30 years. Maybe it's time I did something about that virginity problem.

[barrk]

It certainly couldn't hurt!

I don't know about that. The people in these pictures I downloaded look like they're in pain. You should see the expressions on their faces! I'm not even sure that they're having sex, although from the way sex has been described to me, I'm pretty sure.

Maybe you can tell me. The caption on one of the pictures says:

Hot teen **** ****s her wide while her boyfriend **** her ***** with a large ********** leather ****, two horseshoes, a pidgeon and a rubber ****** in each hand!

I feel so stupid now. Once I read it again, the horseshoe made it obvious. Sorry... I'm having one of my lame moments.
