					Jan 2 '85

	While serving as a prosective juror I  chanced on an article in
	the Journal of the American Medical Association ( Jan. 17 '84 )
	which describes  a  study  done  that  associates  decreases in
	immunological response with anal reception of sperm.   Putative
	factors include the  known immune inhibiting characteristics of
	sperm  and  the  fragility  and  permeability  of internal anal
	tissue as opposed to either oral  or vaginal  tissue.  The test
	included both male and female recipients,  and similarly active
	subjects that did not recieve sperm anally.
		I offer this as both a reference and as grist for the
	mill.
