WOW. Very very interesting.
Indeed! I had read a few years back on semen being found to be a natural antidepressant (or, perhaps, lack of semen being a natural depressant) but that article was a bit more informative.
I have a feeling that this biochemistry underlies a lot of the semen ingesting practices of ritual magick and tantra.

Totally makes sense!
And the end of the article is totally right. I had an overwhelming urge to make a bad joke about carrying not one, but TWO pharmacies around in my pants. I swear I fought the urge for as long as I could.

Heh, when I was in college one of my neighbors had a similar article up on his door. It concluded that women should give more blowjobs.

The funny thing is that I know the article you're talking about, which is a total hoax, but the part that's amusing is its similarity to the actual science that was done later.
I'm using this article to leverage for a cessation of condom use, in my personal situation. I kinda feel like after six months, if we both check out clean and plan to be together for a while, there is no real reason I should be deprived of the health benefits of semen. 8)
