Unprotected Sex Makes A Happy Women, Study Finds

By S.C. Stringfellow | Update Date: Aug 24, 2012 01:51 PM EDT

While semen has recently been found to stimulate women's ovulation cycle, even if she is menstruating, now experts state that "mood-altering chemicals" in semen may improve a women's mental health if ingested or inserted: Yes, we are talking about oral sex.

Forget for a second that women willing to engage in oral sex are already 'a-head' of the game: Women who are sexually repressed are less emotionally and romantically stable than women with healthy sexual appetites.

By this I do not refer to women who do not engage in sexual behaviors, rather women who are not psychologically open to and knowledgeable about sex. Women who are brought up in ideologies that forbid extramarital intercourse are not necessarily sexually repressed. If you are not willing to joke about sex, refuse to listen to stories about it, read textbook descriptions on the act or if your lips tremble around the word "vagina," then you, my shut-in friend, might be sexually repressed.

This study is discussing women who freely and willingly engage in fellatio, suggesting that the willingness stems from the semen which physically makes them happier.

According to the Times of India, a study conducted by researchers at the State University of New York shows that,

"seminal fluid contains chemicals that elevates mood, increases affection, induces sleep and also contains at least three anti-depressants," Such as cortisol, which is known to increase affection, estrone, and oxytocin, which elevates mood, melatonin (a sleep-inducing agent), and even serotonin, a naturally produced neurotransmitter that produces the feeling of "happiness."

The study has also shown that women who have more unprotected sex (Note: This author does not condone or advise sex without proper protection) are in better moods and even perform better on cognitive tests.

Researchers conducted a practical experiment via survey where questions were asked about the sex lives of 293 females and the state of their mental health.

The most striking finds were that, even after adjusting for frequency of sexual intercourse,

"women who engaged in sex and "never" used condoms showed significantly fewer depressive symptoms than did those who "usually" or "always" used condoms---Importantly, these chronically condom-less, sexually active women also evidenced fewer depressive symptoms than did those who abstained from sex altogether," as reported Times of India.

The study is published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior
