Antidepressant Sperm

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

This title from the non-question of today’s column. ‘Antidepressant Sperm’ returned no results in the search.
I guess the results of any research were negative, we’d have all read about it in the tabloids otherwise.

There was the ‘Sperm is good for your skin’ thread and I think I discovered what actually went into some moisturisers (pig sperm wasn’t it? )

Now I wonder what other research (of the non-baby related features and properties of man-juice) has been carried out in the name of science.

Anyone?

There was research recently that said that semen had an antidepressant effect. One of my colleagues had her graduate research design students critique this study. It was very poorly constructed and really didn’t do a good job of accounting for other variables that might have been related to the effect.

Well I don’t know about scientific but there is the Man-juice diet

I read this in Redbook magazine. The article said that women whose hubbys came inside of them (as opposed to early withdrawal or using condoms) are much less likely to be depressed. It’s a nice thought, but I also thought there may be something else going on here. For instance, if you’re using withdrawal, you’re obviously worried about pregnancy, and using a wildly unreliable method to boot. So maybe that’s why you’re not so happy. Stuff like that.

Or more so, an evolutionary desire to keep the guy inside until he’s done his part. Making it feel good could make the female want to do it again, thereby increasing chances of reproduction. Just a thought.

But I have and do see this effect on a regular basis.

I would hypothosize that someone who had ready access to sperm would have good reason not to be depressed that had nothing to do sperm’s chemical properties.

So, when are the Big Drug Companies going to come out with Manchowder, Manchowder Weekly, Manchowder Controlled Release, and Manchowder Controlled Release Plus Sleep Regulator?

I can’t decide whether this is a crock or whether it’s one of those “people who are locked in a broom closet with only bread and water for sustenance are not as happy as people vacationing in Tahiti with Bill Gates’s credit card” studies. Sounds like our nation’s finest researchers are hard at work again.
