ABSTRACT
In a sample of sexually active college females,
condom use, as an indirect measure of the presence of semen in the
reproductive tract, was related to scores on the Beck Depression
Inventory. Not only were females who were having sex without condoms less
depressed, but depressive symptoms and suicide attempts among females who
used condoms were proportional to the consistency of condom use. For
females who did not use condoms, depression scores went up as the amount
of time since their last sexual encounter increased. These data are
consistent with the possibility that semen may antagonize depressive
symptoms and evidence which shows that the vagina absorbs a number of
components of semen that can be detected in the bloodstream within a few
hours of administration.
