Lord knows I wish I wasn't kidding...

New 'neither Dan Perry nor The Onion could invent that headline if they tried' answers.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

True. True.

I wash my hair in it, for extra shine and bounce.

― C J, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

And there was I thinking it was ONLY good for my complexion.

― Rhia, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I revoke everything I've ever said about hating humanity. Clearly the world exists purely to entertain me.

― Dan Perry, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

The singles bars will be interesting places for the next few days.

"No, really! I heard it helps!"

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i am very disappointed that this is just a link to a news story and not a raggett original thread

― bc, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Why do you wish you were kidding? I'm sure a significant portion of the ILE community is interested in these findings.

I like that Google will (in the future) return this thread if you enter "Raggett sperm". HAHAHAHAHA

― Dan Perry, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I can't imagine there would be high demand for that particular search, unless you have designs on me previously unsuspected, Mr. Perry.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Hey, you're the one with a fan club, not me.

― Dan Perry, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Meanwhile, I can just see it now on some Pat Robertson-affiliated show -- "Not only the BIBLE but SCIENCE shows it is WOMAN'S place to BE with a MAN!" Or some such ridiculous extrapolation.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

You may yet have that fan club, you know.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

So next time I'm PMS-ing, I can just *demand* this, because it's been scientifically proven to be Good For Me?

Oh, joy.

― C J, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I want to see CJ's next visit to the pharmacy.

― Dan Perry, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

NOW. NOW. I SAID NOW. RIGHT NOW! DO YOU HEAR ME? I DON'T CARE IF THE PHARMACIST *IS* AT LUNCH.

Hmmm......that's better. Seems to work a treat.

― C J, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

can anyone explain the picture they've chosen to illustrate this story?

― mark s, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

The study, details of which are published in New Scientist magazine, also found that a lack of sexual intercourse made some women depressed.

― Graham, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

(Also CJ, please don't mention lunch and demanding semen in the same sentence)

― Graham, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Mmmmmmmm........protein shakes

OK.......who can tell I've had too much wine tonight?

― C J, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

In the hope of killing that quickly, is there a single thing in this study that wouldn't also suggest that men's moods might be improved by their partners' sperm? => the message is that shagging men is good! I have nothing at all against lesbians, but as a bi man, this is a message I can get behind 100%.

― Martin Skidmore, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

If it's just a chemical thing, why bother with partner's sperm?

― blush, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Chemical thing? That sounds like Toilet Duck would do the job just as well.

― C J, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Well have you seen the shape of the...

― blush blush blush, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

PERVERT.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

And I didn't even have to say anything!

― Dan Perry, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

these women have obv not tried to wash the sheets when it's been raining three weeks solid and the dryer's bung, then.

― petra jane, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I heard about this the other day. The best part is the 'lack of sex can make women depressed' SHOCKAH. I'm guessing that nobody will think to do tests on vaginal mucus to prove that, yes, against all expectations, having sex makes men happy.

― Archel, Thursday, 27 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Does this mean that lesbians are all on prozac?

― Madeleine, Thursday, 27 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Personally I like the name Gordon Gallup. It has an air of zesty endeavour about it. Do these findings suggest that men must be in a state of permanent bliss seeings as we're loaded with the stuff?

― Gordon, Thursday, 27 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Aha, another reason to swallow! *grin* Course, Icould, but I can find other ways to make myself happy...
