Summary of this article

 

A friend of mine told me about an amazing incident which I want to share about today.

 

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.

 

God bless your family and your marriage.

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

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.
