Wasn't there a recent article or presentation on the benefits of oral sex (actually, the benefit of women swallowing ejaculate) on the development of preeclampsia? If I recall, women who engaged in oral sex and swallowed ejaculate were significantly less likely to develop preeclampsia, with the theory being something like GI metabolism of ejaculate and a change in antibody production and thus less preeclampsia. If this could be proven via prospective studies with large numbers, it seems this would qualify as a positive health result from sexual activity!

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
