Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
for Menopause

Philip G. Ney, MD, FRCP (C)

Medical associations now indicate it is safe to treat menopausal women with hormone replacement therapy. With a flick of the “fact switch”, what was considered dangerous is now approved. Whether that be the case or not, there is a much cheaper, much more pleasurable alternative to prescribed hormones, i.e. intercourse.

Male seminal plasma contains female hormones estrogen and estradiol plus male hormones, testosterone and androgen. These are precisely what a menopausal woman needs. Her husband replaces her lack of hormones, but his gift is so well balanced it is non-carcinogenic. Nature made it that way. Male seminal plasma contains thyroid-stimulating hormone which increases the woman’s basic metabolic rate, and may help her lose weight. In addition there are a wide variety of hormones, prostaglandins, which improves a woman’s health and emotional state. (1) In fact there are over 100 proteins and peptide components in normal human seminal plasma. (2)

Isn’t it amazing that the creator provided exactly what women need during their menopause? It’s free, and it’s pleasurable, and it’s non-carcinogenic. This of course presumes that the couple do not use condoms. It also assumes that the effects of these ‘happy’ hormones are not counteracted by taking oral contraceptives. Best of all, male-female intercourse is good fun, improves relationships, heightens intimacy, helps people sort out problems, and increases the likelihood they will stay together.

The stratified squamous epithelium of the vagina has an active transport mechanism which picks up these hormones within half an hour. So the woman doesn’t lose these hormones because they run out of her vagina post-coital, she prefers to lie on her back. Men prefer that position generally speaking. Calcitonin, (3) melatonin (4) and steroids derived from dehydroepiandrosterone (5) (immunoprotective agents) are in seminal plasma and the vagina rapidly absorbs them.

What is good in the vagina is very bad if deposited in the anus. The anus has single cell columnar epithelium which when traumatized by the rubbing of an erect penis easily breaks down and bleeds. If the semen contains HIV, the person has a high likelihood of contracting AIDS because that virus grows quite rapidly in a medium of mucus and blood. The seminal plasma also contains an immuno-suppressive agent, which protects the sperms when they are traveling towards the joyful meeting with a ripe ovum. However, in the rectum, it knocks out the local immune response. Before AIDS was known, anal intercourse led to a high frequency of rectal infections and cancers. It’s becoming more apparent that the uncontrolled scourge of AIDS has less to do with homosexuality than it does with the practice of anal intercourse. Sadly enough, some educational processes and the media seem to suggest that anal intercourse is harmless. It may be preferred in situations where the vagina is inflamed by infection or tender following childbirth, but it is the wrong place to put semen.

It is quite probable that the stratified squamous epithelium of the penis absorbs the predominantly female hormones secreted by the woman during intercourse. Estrogens circulating in a male tends to quieten them. This is why following vaginal sex, the male tends to be quiet and complacent and more malleable. Women have known this from time immemorial.

The Chinese understand the importance and benefit of seminal plasma in the vagina. While in the western culture men are more ready to give than women are to receive, in China, women are more ready to receive than men are to give their seminal plasma.

This goes to show that the physiology and anatomy that God designed is not only good, but that the act of male-female exchange of hormones is encouraged by intense pleasure.
