However, I can say that if semen is involved this most likely means that one is having sex – and if this is true then of course one (not me) would be less likely to be depressed! Good god, it has been waaayyy too long. HUMPH! :smack: GRRR! Great thought. The study was about people having sex. However, as in most good medical studies, they did control for variables. So almost everyone was having sex and they compared the women who use condoms vs those who didn’t use condoms. The amount of people in stable relationships & random hook-ups was equal on both sides. The ladies who didn’t use condoms were less depressed than those who did ---

I like the image contrast of the beginning of the article, when the author talks about how much she likes to put things in her mouth, with the bio at the end when it states she ‘likes to cuddle’. For some reason, it made me laugh. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ladies-it-really-is-good-for-you/589485.md?page=1)
