SUMMARY; MY VIEWS; IMPLICATIONS FOR THE FUTURE.
The article that I chose to do my assignment on really caught my eye. It is called .
"Semen linked to women's mood. A Psychologist Professor named Gordon G. Gallup .
conducted the study in Albany, New York at the University. Two hundred and ninety .

committed relationship such as working on getting married or if you already are married .
then you have that option of experimenting with it. Like Gallup said " Clearly you can .
still develop a sexually transmitted disease or an unwanted pregnancy, any psychological .
effects are not going to offset that". I don't know whether or not the semen helps develop .
