Contraceptive may kill libido By Julie Wheldon May 27, 2005 From: TAKING the Pill for as little as six months could destroy a woman's sex drive for ever, say scientists.
The oral contraceptive dramatically reduces the levels of a hormone responsible for desire and simply stopping taking it fails to reverse the effect, it is feared. A survey produced such dramatic results that lead researcher Dr Irwin Goldstein advised any woman on the Pill who has sexual problems to stop taking it and try another method of birth control.
"There is a possibility it is imprinting a woman for the rest of her life," he said...

But is there really a "lack of" or just a "too exhausted for" issue?
Not only that, but I've also read where it alters a woman's pherimone signature. So these women go on the pill, a guy meets her, and is instinctively attracted to her in part subliminally because of her pherimones. Then she gets married, her pherimones change, and he loses interest.
I know I shouldn't repeat that sorta stuff without having the articles to back it up, but pherimones are a huge part of "chemistry."
What? It turns out that mucking with your body chemistry has consequences?

For women, the lack of sexual desire is most always caused by a food alergy; wedding cake.
So can sharing a bed with your partner and an infant, nursing child....or so I'm told! ;-)
alergy s/b allergy.
Another murder..who is this guy..Libido...sounds
like a friend of OJ's. ? Jake
I've noticed each of you using excellent ping lists. This is an interesting medical issue, but one with profound moral impact. I'd love for it to be discussed in the religion forum, but it does belong in general news. So I thought maybe you all could direct many of our religion forum people over here.
Thanks.
LOLOL......wedding cake.....LOLOL
So that's another mechanism by which oral contraceptives work. Perhaps the manufacturers can turn this into a point of marketing.
"For women, the lack of sexual desire is most always caused by a food alergy; wedding cake."
LMFAO!!!!!!!
I guess it adds to the effectiveness of the contraceptive to kill the libido, wouldn't it?
Actually, it's a little known fact that a simple aspirin tablet works as a male contraceptive.
You put it in the heal of your shoe and it makes you limp.
Marriage has the same effect.
I'd say Libido is most likely to be killed bu Helen Thomas.
A simple aspirin tablet also works as a great contraceptive for women: when you get the urge to have sex, you hold the tablet between your knees.
---I've heard NFP-critics say that periodic abstinence leaves them yearning, pining, panting, flashing each other desperate, desirous looks and chewing their knuckles each and every month, whilst waiting for the waiting to be OVER--- oh, dear! Sometimes ten days! Too much for a human being to endure! ----
While happy NFP-advocates say that periodic abstinence builds a "courtship" and a "honeymoon" phase into every month, and it keeps married lovers interested in how they can please each other huggin' and cuddlin'- wise (the wives particularly like this) while counting off the days and getting quite excited about the arrival of ---well, big red heart on the calendar---
Whew. (She fans herself with fan-folded church bulletin.)
The point is, the critics and the advocates of NFP agree that it actually kindles and re-kindles sexual interest; some may find this a challenge but nobody says it leads to boredom.
Pill-users never claim that their birth control method adds to the spiritual depth or the inner meaning of their marital union, OK, --- but dang! It doesn't even add to desire and satisfaction! On the wife's part, anyway.
And dare I say --- If the Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy?
Though I think the Orthodox Jews do it even better: their periodic-abstinence practice (during the menstrual period, + seven days after the last show of blood) has them resuming intercourse right before ovulation, which maximizes the chances for successful conception.
NFP for achieving pregnancy. That's what I'd call planning and family, all right.
I just started taking it to regulate menstruation, this is very disheartening information. :-(
