Semen acts as an anti-depressent - do you believe it?

What the hell? Of course she is... :biggrin:

You voted yes on the poll didn't you? :smile:

I wonder if there will be a higher proportion of yes to no votes when they are male? :biggrin:

What is it with scientists these days? :rolleyes:

This seems to be an on-going theme these past few days.
From "experience" (or what I can call experience), British and American girls would be the most easy to convince that that fact's true. In most other countries, girls would refuse to accept that, by principle.

It's a shame my bloke has given up sex for lent. Guess I better find something just as good somewhere else, like white chocolate and lots of it.

On a more relevant note, surely sexual activity releases endorphins in your body which act as an anti depressant as well? So it's all good however you look at it, condom or not!

The whole study is a bit naf. I'm surprised it got published on the New Scientist website. The fact that in a couple, you decide to use a condom or not, shows a lot about the relationship you're in. Clearly how your relationship is going is the factor, not the condom...
Since the pill is best for birth-control, when you're in a stable monogamous relationship where you trust your partner, the condom is no longer as necessary.
These girls were undergrads. What's likely is that the girls using condoms had less stable relationships, were sleeping around and the others were in long-term relationships.

LOL... well I've been around a bit. I'll just say most European girls don't see oral sex the way people in anglo-saxon cultures do. It has a lot to do with American influence in the UK, which is stronger than in Europe. I'd rather not elaborate. I'll end up sounding like some pervy sexologist.

With some mates, we did think about creating a world guide to girls but never got round to doing it. There's a lot to learn!

So what would the situation of Canada be then? :rolleyes:

Why are you choosing that country in particular? Same as the US actually. French Canadians are the most "open" in North America in my opinion...

American influence in Canada but is liberal in areas, such as gay marriage etc.

I haven't voted on the poll.

I would vote 'Don't care as long as they swallow' but that's not on there. :wink:
