A top surgeon has been forced to quit his post over comments he wrote about semen and its effect on the health, happiness and well-being of women.
Dr. Lazar Greenfield resigned from his position as the president-e[r]ect of the American College of Surgeons following a Valentine’s day editorial he wrote citing research which found that women who had unprotected sex were less depressed than women who used condoms, arguing semen was the factor which made the difference.
In the article he explained that research has found mood enhancers like estrone, cortisol, prolactin, oxytocin, serotonin, and melatonin are presence in semen – all of which can be attributed to combating depression.
The editorial said, “Female college students having unprotected sex were significantly less depressed than were those whose partners used condoms (Arch. Sex. Behav. 2002;31:289-93). 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. So there's a deeper bond between men and women than St. Valentine would have suspected, and now we know there's a better gift for that day than chocolates.”
The editorial outraged a number of women in the field, arguing it was nothing more than male chauvinism.
The Board of Regents of the American College of Surgeons received numerous complaints from colleges in the medical community. Greenfield issued a statement of regret, but complaints continued. It is unlikely however that his resignation will end the controversy.
Greenfield remains however an emeritus professor of surgery at the University of Michigan School of Medicine. He is a well known doctor, having invented the Greenfield filter, a device that prevents blood clots from traveling to the lungs.
He has been replaced as president-elect by a female surgeon, Dr. Patricia J. Numann.

Well it makes sense, it isn't like he's telling people they need to have unprotected sex. Just that it feels better.
Unprotected. erryday
I thought that was common knowledge.
There's a reason some people don't like using condoms. Selfish and unsafe, sure, but better feeling.
Wait, so he did a proper study, and they are angry at the results, so he was forced to resign?
WAHHHH!!! WE'RE EVOLUTIONARY PREDISPOSED TO SUB CONCIOUSLY ENJOY CONTACT WITH MALE SEED WAAAAHHHH WAHHHH CALL THE FEMINIST GESTAPO!! REMOVE HIM!!!

What is this "SCIENCE" you speak of? BURN THE WITCH!
How exactly do you get offended over someone pointing out that sex feels good?

I couldn't keep reading.
I think they're more pissed with the fact that their ego's can't handle that evolutionary they are supposed to enjoy spunk.
Fucking stupid if you ask me, ask your average guy if he enjoys pussy and you'll get a resounding yes from just about all of them.
im an abstinant conservative catholic grand dragon mother of 3 and this ofends me
What the fuck, a completely valid study with hard evidence to support it, as well as making sense from an evolutionary perspective, yet he gets kicked out because what he said wasn't politically correct according to feminists?
:sigh:

good one OP
I see nothing wrong with this. Point me to one thing that he faked or exaggerated in this study and I'll agree, but this forced resignation makes no sense as is.

it's pretty obvious he was just some perv looking to get laid
No shit, unprotected sex feels better in every way. Except when you shoot your seed inside.
Reminds of that guy on 4chan who wrote about feeding some girl his goo everyday.
people need to stop getting offended about stupid shit

Whoa females can't admit they like semen
Just have sex at your own risk. He shouldn't have to resign.
Forcing people to resign and quit their life long careers over something they said is stupid
Fuck anyone who wants someone to quit their career over something so trivial

Did you even read the article? He says that there is research to indicate that women who have sex without a condom and have semen contact are less depressed and suicidal. His argument is that the reason why is because semen has mood enhancers in it and are likely the primary reason for the difference in the statistic. He's not saying unprotected sex feels better or anything like that, he is saying that it may have anti-depressive effects because of contact with semen. It also has nothing to do with sex feeling good.

You just kinda reinforced his point.
are you all a bit socially retarded? a college doctor writes an article on valentines day telling female college students that if they have unprotected sex they'll feel better
hint hint: he's looking for some of that depressed lonely college tail

don't think they're the same type of colleges dude!
well at least medical research compared to a tertiary education

So you dismiss the claims because its about sex :v:
I guess we should throw out evolution then.
no i'm not bloody dismissing the claims, i'm asking are the interests of a surgeon who sits at an accrediting college writting about semen and college girls on valentines day really purely scientific?
