A friend of mine told me about this article which I
want to share.
This is the story of
Dr. Lazar Greenfield - a renowned surgeon who devised a filter used in
surgery to reduce the likelihood of blood clots; who went on to become chief of
surgery at the University of Michigan, lead editor of Surgery News, and
president-elect of the American College of Surgeons (ACS). He got into hot
water with the "thought police" for publishing a light-hearted
editorial regarding St. Valentine's Day in the February, 2011, issue of the
journal he edited.
But what he wrote was some wonderful scientific information
for understanding God's creation of men and women.
Semen Has Benefits For Women
By Jim Stephens
Here is the section of the article that Dr. Greenfield wrote
which was so offensive and got him kicked out.
"As far as humans are concerned, you may think you know
all about sexual signals, but you'd be surprised by new findings. It's been
known since the 1990s that heterosexual women living together synchronize their
menstrual cycles because of pheromones, but when a study of lesbians showed
that they do not synchronize, the researchers suspected that semen played a
role.
In fact, they found ingredients in semen that include mood
enhancers like estrone, cortisol, prolactin, oxytocin, and serotonin; a sleep
enhancer, melatonin; and of course, sperm, which makes up only 1%-5%.
Delivering these compounds into the richly vascularized
(i.e. many blood vessels) vagina also turns out to have major salutary (i.e.
beneficial) effects for the recipient.
Female college students having unprotected sex were
significantly less depressed than were those whose partners used condoms. Their
better moods were not just a feature of promiscuity, because women using
condoms were just as depressed as those practicing total abstinence. The
benefits of semen contact also were seen in fewer suicide attempts and better performance
on cognition tests."
See the footnotes for one of the Abstracts of the research.
But think about it my friends. A man's semen contains many
mood enhancers and sleep enhancers, besides the sperm. God has created our
bodies to share chemicals with our spouses in beneficial ways physically. Just
like a loving relationship is good for us emotionally and spiritually, it turns
out it is good for our health as well.
Scientists have known this for a long time, but maybe it was
kept from you. Now you know and will hopefully spread the word.

Abstract at US National Library of Medicine, National
Institutes of Health. Does semen have antidepressant properties? by Gallup GG
Jr, Burch RL, Platek SM. Department of Psychology, State University of New York
at Albany, Albany, New York, USA
Abstract
In a sample of sexually active college females, condom use,
as an indirect measure of the presence of semen in the reproductive tract, was
related to scores on the Beck Depression Inventory. Not only were females who
were having sex without condoms less depressed, but depressive symptoms and
suicide attempts among females who used condoms were proportional to the
consistency of condom use. For females who did not use condoms, depression
scores went up as the amount of time since their last sexual encounter
increased. These data are consistent with the possibility that semen may
antagonize depressive symptoms and evidence which shows that the vagina absorbs
a number of components of semen that can be detected in the bloodstream within
a few hours of administration.
