Answer to Question 1

Answer: The ideal answer will include:
1. The study comparing Euro-Americans and Hindus revealed higher fertility rates among the Hindus despite less-frequent intercourse.
2. The less-frequent intercourse among Hindus can be linked to several beliefs that discourage frequent sex, such as the lost semen complex.
3. This raises the possibility that the beliefs in Hinduism associated with sex and semen act to restrict an otherwise-higher fertility rate.
