| Spit, swallow and stress |
Thanks to glenda for the article link and now men everywhere are celebrating...
Semen acts as an antidepressant - a recent study shows that females who have sex without condoms had fewer signs of depression than women who used condoms and abstained from sex. It apparently gives a shot of zinc, calcium, potassium, fructose, proteins -- a veritable cornucopia of vitality!
but before you jump into(gasp)unprotected sex...
Orgasm alone is a powerful pain-killer. Oxytocin, a natural chemical in the body that surges before and during climax, gets some of the credit, along with a couple of other compounds like endorphins. Sex lowers blood pressure, and might even protect against strokes because of its stress-relieving ability
and now for the newly-favored rallying cry of the male species...
It’s possible that male goo can lower blood pressure. Another recent study found that women who gave their men oral sex, and swallowed, had a lower risk of preeclampsia, the dangerously high blood pressure that sometimes accompanies pregnancy.
No, I’m not making this up. “The present study shows that oral sex and swallowing sperm is correlated with a diminished occurrence of preeclampsia,” said the Dutch authors.
See? We told you it was good for you.
Think the article is good enough to swallow? |
