Does Semen Have Antidepressant Properties?
No condom = less depression?

Inspired by this, Gallup, Burch and Platek (2002) decided to look for a correlation between condom use and levels of depression in undergraduate women. Their headline results were as follows:
1. Women having sex without condoms (often using alternative methods of contraception) were less depressed than those using condoms.
2. Numbers of reported suicide attempts were proportional to consistency of condom use (less consistent use was associated with fewer suicide attempts).
3. For those not using condoms, depression scores increased with the time since they last had sex.


Weirdest research!
