See us gay guys knew this all along.

The finding that women who do not use condoms during sex are less depressed and less likely to attempt suicide than are women who have sex with condoms and women who are not sexually active, leads one researcher to conclude that semen contains powerful-and potentially addictive-mood-altering chemicals.
Study author Gordon G. Gallup, Ph.D., a psychologist at the State University of New York in Albany, also found that women who routinely had intercourse without condoms became increasingly depressed as more time elapsed since their last sexual encounter. There was no such correlation for women whose partners regularly used condoms.
Gallup's survey of 293 college women also found that those who did not use condoms were most likely to initiate sex and to seek out new partners as soon as a relationship ended. "These women are more vulnerable to the rebound effect, which suggests that there is a chemical dependency," says Gallup.
Semen contains hormones including testosterone, estrogen, prolactin, luteinizing hormone and prostaglandins, and some of these are absorbed through the walls of the vagina and are known to elevate mood.
Gallup controlled for variables including method of contraception, frequency of sexual intercourse, as well as the women's perception of their relationship. He concedes that women who regularly have sex without condoms might share personality traits that make them less susceptible to depression. But the behavior most often associated with non-condom users is sexual risk-taking, and studies have found no correlation between high-risk sexual behavior and lower rates of depression.
Gallup's study, which he deems "the first serious attempt to investigate the effect of semen chemistry on women," titillated the public and rankled some academics upon publication in Archives of Sexual Behavior. Gallup says he has since replicated the findings with a sample of 700 women and will examine whether "semen withdrawal" places women at an increased risk for depression when they are premenstrual, menopausal or have just given birth, as many women abstain from sex during these periods.

It seems to me the opposite is true, at least of bipolar people. They tend to engage in very high risk sexual activities.
An alternate explanation is what happens after ejaculation. When you're wearing a condom, you kind of get up, remove it, throw it in the garbage. When you're not wearing a condom, there's no break, more cuddling, more continuation of intimacy, etc. So women who have condom free sex tend to get more emotional comfort. |

I read in the British magazine New Scientist last year that another benefit of sex without a condom was that for couples that wanted to conceive a child later it basically allowed the woman's body to get used to the man's sperm. This meant that there'd be less chance of a miscarraige when they were trying to conceive, because the woman's body would be less likely to reject the "foreign" object.
I think couples needed to be together and having sex for about 6 months before the woman's miscarraige potential started dropping.
I remember the article finished off by pointing out that every doctor knows that the best way to receive vaccinations etc. was orally! 
Sure, it is great news for guys, but I'm not making this up! |

There was a recent finding as well that the rhythm method actually leads to more natural abortions. About half of all pregnancies the body terminates in the first month (god kills a lot of babies). Most women never even know they're pregnant, just think it's their period a touch late. When using the rhythm method, when conception occurs on the margins of fertility, these result in a higher number of such early miscarriages. |

| When I was in uni, I read a disseration that concluded men with longer johnsons had lower IQs. This data was based on a sample of 20,000 men. Draw your won conclusions. One might say that longer johnsons give men more confidence and a more active social life and thus takes them away from the books or who knows what. Twas an interesting read though. Oh, the study was done in both the USA and Canada using college men between 18 and 26 years of age. |

Could be that the men with longer Johnsons are just too "busy" to study.  |
