Relationships with asari may provide health benefits, study says
February 28th, 2011
A study by Dr. Nada DeSouza, a researcher at the Johns Hopkins Medical Center, claims that human/asari relationships might carry health benefits for the humans involved. The study, conducted on a group of asari/human couples over the past 15 years, indicates that the humans in such relationships seem to exhibit better physical and mental health than humans in same-species relationships. Human partners in asari relationships seemed to suffer from notably fewer cases of depression, and seemed to exhibit marginally higher resistance to minor illnesses, such as colds or the flu.
Dr. DeSouza warned that “the results are still preliminary, and are not yet fully explained.” She stated that “a more comprehensive study must be conducted over the next few decades. However, it would seem that relationships with asari may, somehow, convey health benefits. One possibility we are exploring is that the mental connection established during acts of physical intimacy may help to significantly reduce stress and keep humans emotionally and mentally centered. This would likely ward off mental illness, while also possibly creating a slight boost to physical health.”
