Women shouldn't be concerned? What is it going to be then - better sex more often with the chance of having a child (natural human state), or less-enjoyable sex less often without the "burden" of children?
I know a lot of people in our society are going to have trouble making a choice. What say you?

I personally think it's a bunch of bunk. I don't put much stock in these studies any more. One day something is good for us and the next it's going to kill us. I say "eat, drink and be merry".

We have known for a long time that 30 to 40 percent of women on birth control pills have decreased libido All I can say is...I'm glad I stopped taking birth control (after 9 years of taking it!)
Also linked to obesity, bitchiness and breast cancer...this wholly explains American women.

Girl's just want to have fun, nothing like a bunch of nymphomaniacs running wild.

I'd say these preliminary studies are worthless.
Especially with something as variable, subjective and personal as libido.
I wouldn't put too much stock in it, one way or the other.
I will add that I've been on the Pill since complications following the birth of my last child . . . and I haven't noticed any problems. But that's just me.

Guay and his team studied 124 premenopausal women who had sexual health complaints for more than six months. In other news, a study of people with kidney health complaints determined that the absence of a "diver's friend" is a major design flaw in modern automobiles, and a study of people with mental health complaints discovered that invisible beings sometimes whisper into people's ears.

This isn't something where it has gone one way and then the other. Other than "clearing your skin" and the reduced "risk" of bearing a child, there have been loads of negative side effects to "birth control" pills. The past studies concerning SHBG have been confirmed, and this just shows the longer term effects.

The real cause is being married to the same person for too long. This is just a good "scientific" excuse. ;-D

But that's just me.Normally, my gut reaction would say that this is a sinful behavior, but I'm not sure if the health reason negates that. Have you asked a priest or theologian about it?

The average ages in the groups were similar: 32, 33 and 36. "Similar", my left buttock. A four-year gap of ages, when the ages in question are in the runup to a major relevant development (menopause) makes this "study" worthless.
I'm afraid you're falling for junk science that seems to confirm your prejudices, just like the global-warming crowd.

I'd say these preliminary studies are worthless. Considering that I've already found two fatal flaws in just this summary, I'd say you're right. ;-)

I took the pill quite awhile in the 70s and early 80s. When I stopped, I got pregnant within a month and had a perfectly healthy baby girl. Two years later I had healthy twins. And no "sexual side-effects". Everything must be evaluated for pros and cons and people have to make their own choices. But they must be given the truth.

Still not as effective at decreasing libido as wedding cake is.

I'm afraid you're falling for junk science that seems to confirm your prejudices, just like the global-warming crowd.If you detect a bias in my posts, then you would be correct. But I don't need this study to tell me that contraception, especially chemical contraception, is unnatural.

And as we all know, you have no such prejudices.

Prejudices don't change the fact that it is junk science.

I am prejudiced in favor of honesty. In the story of The Boy Who Cried Wolf, I probably would have declined to help a few iterations earlier than the rest of the community.
