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. These results compared three different groups of women, those engaging in unprotected intercourse with men, those engaging in intercourse but using condoms and those abstaining from sex. Only those engaging in unprotected sex experienced reduced levels of depression.In addition, components of semen could be found in these women's blood hours after sex.

The idea that unprotected sex with men 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 claims 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 the mood enhancing qualities of somen in an article published in 2011. 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 archives. Fortunately one brave site has reproduced the article in its entirety.

Vaginal absorption of semen early in adulthood may reduce the chance of breast cancer by up to 50% in some women. More generally it may inhibit all tumour formation.

Oral sex (and the subsequent exposure and consumption of semen) appears to be beneficial too.

Pregnant women may be able to avoid a common and potentially very serious pregnancy related medical condition by engaging in fellatio with the father of their unborn child. 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.

From an evolutionary perspective it is entirely plausible that women who responded more positively to semen absorption would be more likely to engage in sexual intercourse. This may have resulted in a selective advantage resulting in human females generally responding positively to semen absorption today.

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.
