Women & the Pill and Lack of Libido

Guys, I’ve got news for you.  Women usually don’t like being on the birth control pill, but they have to be if they really want to safeguard against getting pregnant.  There are other methods of course to birth control that can work well, but the most effective way to safeguard against pregnancy is still the pill and various versions of hormone dosage like injections and the patch that are available, but honestly which have gotten worse press for side effects than just the good old fashioned birth control pill.

The reason I’m writing this is because lots of guys don’t realize that being on the pill, especially some of the higher dose pills, can really wreak havoc on a woman’s sex drive, and this exhibits itself unfortunately in taking its toll on a man and woman’s relationship, when a guy thinks it’s because of him that the woman doesn’t want to have sex. 

Female sexual enhancement products of course may help the situation, but being on the pill may also trump even the best in products for a woman’s sexual enhancement simply because the dosing of hormones is simply too powerful to be overcome. 

The solution may be to move to a lower dose pill or for the woman to discuss options with her doctor and get their opinion on some other options for birth control after she explains that the current one is really making her a loss for a real desire to have sex with her partner.  Besides that, being on the pill can also have additional effects that lead to lack of sex drive, like weight gain. 

Sure, they say the pill doesn’t make you gain weight, but i doubt they asked any of the women on the pill before they said that, because many women claim that the pill has made them gain a few pounds in water weight.
