A THEORY ONLY A MAN CAN LOVE

The minute that I read this theory, I was blown away, and in the name of science, would love to test it. The only problem is that I'd need to find someone who was pregnant. What the hell am I talking about? Well, a SUNY-Albany psychologist, Gordon Gallup, recently proposed a cure for morning sickness that some moms-to-be might find in bad taste.....Sperm! That's right! Gallup has a theory that pregnant women who are continually exposed to the father's semen are less likely to suffer from morning nausea. Gallup, who specializes in human reproductive competition and behavior, offers this theory that expectant women become ill and vomit because their bodies are rejecting the semen's genetic material as something foreign and unfamiliar. The theory would feasibly quell their nausea by ingesting the same sperm in order to allow the body to build up a tolerance to it. I love this guy! Even if this theory is not true, can we keep telling our pregnant wives that it is? The idea, while obviously appealing to expecting fathers, is only a theory and has yet to be tested, but I will more than likely volunteer myself to be a guinea pig!

The concept, which was presented at the 2012 Northeastern Evolutionary Psychology Society, also proposed that morning sickness would actually diminish in the following pregnancies, if the second child had the same father as the first. Back in 2000, immunologists proposed that pregnant women who suffered from preeclampsia, a dangerous condition that can cause high blood pressure and early labor, suffered a lack of tolerance to foreign properties of the fetus. One ob-gyn, actually, called the concept of linking immunity with conditions associated with pregnancy 'very interesting.' She also said that there was no medical rhyme or reason to morning sickness. 

The ob-gyn went on to say that due to the lack of conclusive findings on the topic, she said that she wouldn't consider recommending oral sex as a morning sickness cure to her patients. She did say 'her' patients, right? What a party pooper she turned out to be! Apparently, Gallup has been making headlines for quite some time as a proponent of the healing nature of sperm. I also hear that it's a great conditioner for hair, ladies! And not to mention, a great skin moisturizer! Okay, now I'm even grossing myself out! In 2002, Gallup also made waves when he concluded that exposure to semen offered anti-depressant qualities. This earned him the moniker of "B.J. King of SUNY-Albany". Only kidding! Unfortunately for us men, this theory is only that.....a theory! Until its proven true, we still have to beg our wives for oral, guys! Sorry!
