Concept of Dried Seminal Biochemical Parameters in Substantiating Male Infidelity

Abstract

Background and Objective: Infidelity is the desecration of a couple’s vows on sexual serenity and individuality leading to psychological damage, post-traumatic stress disorder, family breakdown and at times murder. Solutions to infidelity are multifaceted of which early detection with evidence could be of great help. This study was therefore designed to find an alternative approach to discovering a scientific means of detecting the occurrence of sexual intercourse which is the fulcrum of infidelity. Materials and Methods: The under wares of the subjects recruited for the study were collected after voluntarily enrolling in the study. The study was categorized into four groups, no-sex male (NSM), sex group (S), sex bath wash (SBW) and sex bath and no wash (SBNW). Concentrations or activities of seminal zinc, magnesium, inorganic phosphate, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and acid phosphatase (ACP) were analyzed using WHO-approved methods after the elution of the semen-stained under wares in distilled water. One-way ANOVA ( Post hoc -LSD) on SPSS (version 21) statistical software was used for the data analysis. Results: The findings of the study showed a significant increase in concentrations or activities of PSA and ACP when compared amongst the groups, whereas the seminal electrolytes were not significant. In a similar vein, comparisons of other parameters such as seminal magnesium, inorganic phosphate and zinc exhibited non-significant differences between the various studied groups. Conclusion: The concentrations of PSA and ACP could be utilized as an adjunct investigative tool in affirming the occurrence of sexual intercourse and infidelity in particular.
