Via Instapundit, this gem, which will no doubt be incorporated into a “plot” by the end of the week:
The finding that women who do not use condoms during sex are less depressed and less likely to attempt suicide than are women who have sex with condoms and women who are not sexually active, leads one researcher to conclude that semen contains powerful—and potentially addictive—mood-altering chemicals.
Study author Gordon G. Gallup, Ph.D., a psychologist at the State University of New York in Albany, also found that women who routinely had intercourse without condoms became increasingly depressed as more time elapsed since their last sexual encounter. There was no such correlation for women whose partners regularly used condoms.
Gallup’s survey of 293 college women also found that those who did not use condoms were most likely to initiate sex and to seek out new partners as soon as a relationship ended. “These women are more vulnerable to the rebound effect, which suggests that there is a chemical dependency,” says Gallup.
In other news, tens of thousands of men across America are saying “Honey? You look a little depressed.”

Not that I have actually read any of your links, and not that I want the positive effects of semen to be false but the science seems a bit suspect.
My theories:
- depressed women are much more uptight, and would tend to use condoms more than the happier, free wheelin’ sluts who don’t.
- Happy, free wheelin’ sluts get depressed when they don’t get any on a regular basis.
- Women who don’t use condoms would tend to be, or think they are, in a steady monogomous relationship and would be happier than those sleeping around who need protection against STDs and pregnancy.
Oh, I completely agree with you - but that doesn’t make this any less hilarious, or any less likely to be picked up on by the porn industry.
I bet the porn industry is well ahead of the “scientists” on this one.
I’m sure there are already (several) porn flicks called “Addicted to Cock” or “Cum Junkie”. I would google and link, but am at work. ;-)
