I am so frightened by the fact that somebody fairly articulate actually wrote this article that I am unable to reply, lol...

But....here is a perfect example of do NOT rely on stuff you read!!!!

LOL,

I'm surprised you're so quick to blow this off Janine. It seems an actual study happened, results occurred, inferences were drawn etc. All very scientific, controlled, etc.

As I read the results, it seems I have still one more reason (and there are many) to believe I am God's gift to women.

Quick to blow it off, sc? (please see Freudian Slips 101) :twisted:

I think there is likely something accurate in that "study" - seriously. But not in the way it was reported.

A woman who habitually uses condoms is not in a long term satisfying relationship. In general, women do not NEED a long term satisfying relationship to be happy. But...if a woman is continually sleeping around (using condoms), chances are that she is LOOKING for one and cannot find it (for whatever reasons, likely having to do with her own intimacy conflicts)

That woman is likely to not be too happy.

THAT is the danger of "studies" - the real reason for the results may not be at all what the inferences of the biased study claims.

When in doubt, use your own barometer of scientific research. Your common sense.

Off now to plunge into more in-depth research

There was no Freudian slip - I thought the phrase worked rather well given the subject matter. And I may be mistaken, but I believe "Gordon Gallup" is a code-name used by a prominent FEMALE scientist in the rapidly enlarging field of semen/anti-depressant research.

I have printed off the study, and made 6,543 copies to pass out to my closest friends. Anything I can do to cheer somebody up......

I seriously wonder how you propose a study like this for federal funding with a straight face? Gallup is probably a sex obsessed scientist who comes up with 20 such proposals a year. The guys at the funding review board are probably like "Uh-oh, another one from Gallup. Hey guys, look at THIS one...."

Janine, they did say that they looked into other possible explanations, including strength of the relationships, and personality types, and neither of them offered a statistically significant explanation. One might wonder, actually, if abstaining from using condoms is WHY these women might have longer relationships, rather than the other way around. At least from my personal standpoint, the study just shows that the natural way is probably best, as usual. If it does have this effect, it shows that mother nature has more built in ways to ensure the survival of the species.

Boy, i can't wait for the Pfizer clinical trials...

Here's another reason:

Women who don't use condoms are more tolerant of risky behaviour (ie. they live more "in the moment", and are therefore happier).
