I happened to see a reference to this important study on tv the other night, and thought I'd repost it (I posted this about a year ago).  It's about how exposure to semen apparently aids in warding off depression in women

Did you ever find data regarding application?

So, say a woman gets semen "indirectly", does that still ward off depression?

Does using a turkey baster have the same effect?

Or is it that semen usually accompanies a loving relationship and in THAT context, it can help ward off depression?

But then, is it the *semen* or the loving relationship that is having the effect?

Hmmm.
