Masturbating the Hay Fever Away

Ejaculation might ease the symptoms of hay fever-- New Scientist

That is the photo that New Scientist chose to accompany the article Masturbation Could Bring Hay Fever Relief for Men. Subtle, huh? The article refers to a year-old study from Tabriz Medical University in Iran which suggests that ejaculation will temporarily alleviate the symptoms of hay fever. A regimen of masturbation and/or sexual intercourse is suggested. For men, anyway. The article doesn't mention women at all. Isn't that curious? I read somewhere that it is technically illegal for anyone to masturbate in Iran. Perhaps this "cure" is just a way to circumvent the law. How can you be arrested for masturbating if you've got a prescription for it?
