New research suggests that male semen can affect the genes and behaviour of females.
The research team, from the University of East Anglia, found male fruit flies selectively alter the chemical make-up of their seminal fluid.
And that when around rivals, the males produce more seminal proteins, New Scientist reports.
One of the proteins is a 'master regulator' of genes - and females exposed to it showed a wide range of changes in gene expression.
Gene expression is the process by which specific genes are activated to produce a required protein to help the body function.
These proteins go on to perform essential functions as enzymes, hormones and receptors, for example.
The research was presented earlier this month at the Society for Molecular Biology and Evolution conference in Austria.
It adds to a growing body of scientific evidence showing seminal fluid may have both physical and psychological effects on the body.
Previous studies have claimed semen can elevate mood, increase affection, induce sleep and also contain at least three antidepressants.
The research suggests it is not just that women who are having sex are simply happier, but that happiness levels might be related to the quantity of semen within their body.
Seminal proteins can directly affect the behaviour of flies because they enter the circulation and get to the brain, says Professor Chapman.
This, in turn, helps her to reproduce as soon as possible.
It references the work of Sarah Robertson of the University of Adelaide. When it comes to seminal signalling, she believes 'semen causes the cervix to produce molecules that influence the rest of the body - and influence a women in many other ways than the region involved in reproduction.
According to a statement issued by The Albert Einstein hospital in São Paulo, 87-year-old Joe Jackson was admitted Sunday afternoon (July 26) to their intensive care unit following a stroke.
The father of Michael Jackson, suffered three heart attacks and has been fitted with a pacemaker during an emergency surgery. His heart stopped beating for 10 seconds before he was revived by medical staff at the Albert Einstein Hospital.
He flew to Brazil to celebrate his 87th birthday but missed his birthday party on Saturday because he wasn't feeling well.
He was due back to the US on Tuesday. Family members want Jackson to return to the US for treatment, but at the moment his health is too uncertain to travel.
"Bobbi Kristina Brown passed away July, 26 2015, surrounded by her family," the Houston family said in a statement. "She is finally at peace in the arms of God. We want to again thank everyone for their tremendous amount of love and support during these last few months."
Bobbi Kristina Brown, the only child of the late singer Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, died Sunday, almost six months after she was found unresponsive in a bathtub. She was 22.
Her boyfriend, Nick Gordon and a friend discovered Bobbi face down and unresponsive in a bath tub on Jan. 31 and Gordon attempted to revive her. As she lay in various hospitals for months, the Houston and Brown sides of her family frequently feuded over how to care for her, making headlines with their disagreements. Bobbi was placed in a medically-induced coma and had been breathing with the aid of a ventilator before she died on Sunday.
Her mother, Whitney Houston was found dead in a hotel bath in Los Angeles in 2012.
Salmon
Salmon is loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B-12 and iron. Essential omega-3 fatty acids are needed to support scalp health.
Dark Green Vegetables

Beans
Legumes like kidney beans and lentils provide lots of protein to promote hair growth. They also provide ample iron, zinc, and biotin. Biotin deficiencies can result in brittle hair. Three or more cups of lentils or beans each week is expert recommended.
Nuts
Brazil nuts are one of the best sources of selenium, an important mineral for the health of your scalp. Walnuts contain alpha-linolenic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid that may help conditioning your hair. They also contain zinc, same as cashews and almonds. Zinc deficiency can lead to hair shedding.
Poultry
Inadequate or low-quality protein can result in loss of hair colour.
Eggs
Eggs are one of the best protein sources. They also contain biotin and vitamin B-12, which are important beauty nutrients.
Whole Grains
Whole grains, including whole-wheat bread and fortified whole-grain breakfast cereals are excellent for a hair-healthy dose of zinc, iron, and B vitamins.
Oysters
Apart from being an aphrodisiac, Oysters is also a good source of zinc which is a powerful antioxidant,and can also lead to healthy hair.
