Finally, something that makes women happy!
Edited on Mon Mar-20-06 12:22 AM by Briarius
According to a new study:

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.

11. Another entry from the "no shit sherlock" file
I read someplace that women who get regular vaginal semen deposits (OMG I managed to keep that clinical- yay me!) have less PMS and depression as well.

I think that means I should bill my vacation to my health insurer. :)

You're right that that's a LOT of other factors to control for, and I'd be surprised if there are enough patients to do that, statistically.

Somebodies confused with chocolate. Or maybe women who can go without condoms are in stable relationships and can either deal with the pill or have kids.

I've always noticed women were much happier w/lovemaking when they were trying to make babies also.
