Semen: love drug or health food?
Semen is really surprising. In recent years evidence has emerged that the absorption of semen offers many benefits to women.
There is now ample evidence that absorption of semen can be mood enhancing for women and may even reduce levels of depression in women.[1]
The idea that unprotected sex with a man could be beneficial to women is often described as controversial and is actively resisted by feminists. the idea isn't really controversial of course. It is supported by actual evidence. Feminism, in its efforts to denigrate male sexuality, cannot tolerate the claim that sexual intercourse with a man could benefit a woman in any way.
Dr Lazar Greenfield, a US surgeon, was forced to resign from the presidency of the American College of Surgeons for daring to mention this in an article published in 2011.[2] Such is the degree to which feminism has infested the scientific establishment. Scientific results which challenge feminist dogma are not tolerated. The February 2011 issue of Surgery News in which the article was printed is not available in the publication articles. Fortunately one brave site has reproduced the article in its entirety.[3]
The evidence points to noticable benefits in women receiving semen through the vagina. Some have argued that receiving semen in other ways (eg, orally) may be beneficial also but the evidence is less compelling.
Medical researchers have found elevated levels of endorphins in a woman's blood hours after receiving semen in to her vagina[4]
Oral sex (and the subsequent exposure and consumption of semen) appears to be beneficial for pregnant women. Scientists theorize that consumption of semen primes a woman's body for exposure to the foreign proteins found in the man and his child. Being primed for these proteins means that the woman is able to cope with them during pregnancy and has lower incidence of preeclampsia.[5]
So does this mean that people should be having more unprotected sex? No. All of the usual arguments for and against unprotected sex still apply.
