Study Shows Women Who Have Unprotected Sex Are Less Depressed

Recent studies have actually proved that semen does a lot more than make babies.  Like, a lot more.  After analyzing surveys from over 200 women, these researchers found that women who have unprotected intercourse are less depressed than those who have protected intercourse, and they argue that it has to do with all of the benefits that semen has to offer.  Take a look at the study that shows women who have unprotected sex are less depressed!

Studies showed that semen contains a range of chemicals that can halt feelings of depression, and help with better mental well-being.

A study at the State University of New York compared the sex lives of 293 women to their mental health.

Researchers found that women who had frequent unprotected sex were less depressed than women who had frequent protected sex.

The researchers also discovered that the women who had frequent unprotected sex performed better on cognitive tests.

Semen has a thyrotopin-releasing hormone, which is an anti-depressant.

Semen also contains melatonin, the sleep-inducing agent.

Semen also contains serotonin, which is well-known as an anti-depression neurotransmitter.

Even after adjusting the frequency of intercourse in all 293 women participating in the study, the researchers still found that women who had unprotected sex (even if it was far less sex), were still happier and less depressed.

In fact, the women who claimed that they “never" used condoms showed less symptoms of depression than women who abstained from sex altogether.

Women who were sexually active and labeled themselves “promiscuous” and used condoms were just as depressed as those who were totally abstinent.

Research suggest that this could be relationship based: women who are in relationships are far more likely to not use protection than those who are not in relationships.

However, the researchers do believe this study suggests that sex doesn’t make women happy: happiness levels are likely related to the quantity of semen in the body.
