Sex: The ultimate mood enhancer
TNN , Mar 8, 2010, 12.00am IST

Did you know great sex, if it is within a mutually monogamous relationship, may be one of the ultimate mood boosters?

In fact, semen contains powerful – and potentially addictive – mood-altering chemicals, including testosterone, estrogen, prolactin, luteinizing hormone, and prostaglandins. So although sex won't cure depression, it may boost mood if some of these chemicals are absorbed through the walls of the vagina.

Sex is only a mood booster if it's safe and mutually monogamous. Although women who do not use condoms during sex are less depressed, according to research, that doesn't mean they should practice unsafe sex. Studies have found no correlation between high-risk sexual behavior and lower rates of depression.

And good sex isn't the only recipe for happy days and contented nights. Feel free to explore other options, like volunteering, exercising regularly, spending time with good friends, laughing with loved ones, writing in a journal, and otherwise engaging in activities that you find fulfilling. Taking good care of your health can also make you happy. After all, nothing can put a smile on your face like a good report from your doctor.

It says that it makes WOMEN happier.

OTOH, there'd be no reason to even test that theory on men. And we all know that everything that makes women happier makes men happier ... or, at the very least, less unhappy. :bluewink:

And that's why it's such a wonderful study.

I love science done well.

Well... it seems the topic is not relevant for most of us.

Interesting information. With the amount of action I've been getting, I'm surprised I haven't gone on a killing spree. :(
And how are you today?

Huh?? This doesnt even make sense.

It says the mood boost is about absorbing the chemicals in semen. But then says it only works if you practice safe sex (condom) where there would be no semen absorption. Then it goes on to contradict itself:

Huh??! :shrug:

And why would it ONLY work in a monogamous relationship? It wouldnt. Sounds like a propoganda piece for a sexually conservative culture (oh hey, times of india).

yeah, that cracked me up. It only works if you're in a "mutually monogamous" relationship. So sorry, boys and girls; that casual hot sex is just not going to make you feel happy. Best stick with the volunteering and journal writing.

I don't understand how you are building that argument from what was written.
