Is it true that once you stop using birth control pills, you can become less attracted to your partner because of hormonal changes?

Question

I had heard on the radio once that when ladies stopped taking their birth control pills, the hormonal changes made them less attracted to their husband/boyfriend. (Assuming you were on birth control when you started dating them). But, you know, it was the radio, so I'm not sure if it's true. Has anyone experienced this or heard of it happening?

Answer

I saw a documentary about it. When you're not on the pill, you get attracted to people based on your cycle. At some point you go for the hot guy (I think this is around ovulation) and at other you go for the stable family guy. When you are on the pill you don't ovulate, therefore you would always go for that stable family guy. When you go off the pill it's possible that you will realize that you're not happy with who you have.
When you're on the pill your body doesn't work the way it's supposed to. You can actually get attracted to a guy with simiar immune system, which you most likely wouldn't be under normal circumstances.

Answer

It can definitely affect the way you are attracting guys, i have been single 5 years, i was on the implant for the first 3 years of that and I hardly got any attention from men at all. I got it taken out and suddenly i had offers everywhere... i went on depo and I felt invisible again. Now its wearing off and my periods are restarting i have 3 guys messaging me

Answer

It is true . The shift in hormones causes different characteristics to be attractive when off the pill vs on the pill. Some people may not find it negatively affect them while others do.

Answer

It's more common that when you go on birth control, you lose your sex drive because of the hormones. That doesn't necessarily mean you aren't attracted to your SO!

Answer

Everyone’s experience is different, I personally found on the pill I didn’t want sex and off it I want it all the time🤷🏼‍♀️
