"Correct me if I'm wrong, but are you suggesting that the presence of sperm precipitates follicular development?"

Ryan, not at all. All I am stating is simply that sperm retention is sperm retention, whether or not the female is in prime condition or not (with respect to body mass). I don't "think" there is a correlation, as i have not read any evidence-based materials on such a topic. If you have, please do share. Like I said, it's an interesting and thought-provoking question, one that requires possibly more research. You've got me curious as well, and am not suggesting anything really. I just don't see the correlation between body mass and follicle development. BUT, then again, mayb there is. Women that are anorexic are known to have an involuntary biological response whereby they do not have a period cycle -- so, all the more thought-provoking.
