Why is sex better without birth control?

Does birth control suppress sex drive? Maybe it's my imagination but my sex drive has gone through the roof since I got off the pill. We went to the pull out method (yes I know the risk) and I've been so horny we're practically having sex every night. My boyfriend is loving it. Is there a connection?

  • Skin to skin contact is always better than having a barrier in between, or having to pull out right before you climax. I agree that being able to climax together, or at least have him cum without any feeling of panic and having to pull out to jack off to completion on you, brings the intimacy to whole new, incredible level. :)
    (Definite connection, likely involving oxytocin plus the feels.)

  • There is a connection. Though that's just because you picked the wrong kind of birth control pill to take. Each kind affects each women differently.

    For me I have an IUD type of birth control and it doesn't kill my sex drive at all.

  • Taking anything that messes with your hormones will have an effect on your body and moods whether you notice it a lot or very little ;)

  • Sex is for sure better with no birth control. I can sense when my girl is ovulating and it makes me super horny and she also is extra sensitive. We used the timing method for birth control for months but lost control eventually and have a baby coming in six months lol

  • sure however tell guys before u stop with birth controll pills, because my ex girlfriend only told me afterwards that she had stopped, i had sex with her several times in the course of 4 days, guess what she got pregnant.

    • He knows about it. We had a discussion and I told him we could use condoms or, if he was careful, he could pull out. That's what he's been doing since, although I'm looking into the copper IUD.

  • Yes birth control can affect your sex drive. I would suggest consulting your doctor to try a different kind or maybe do the shot instead of the pill.

  • Not sure but going bare feels amazing.

  • yes it's a concoction of chemicals

  • The pills disrupt hormonal balance. Resulting in a decrease in libido.

  • Not sure if it's due to coming off the pill or if you are just at a "certain age". You probably have an unconscious desire to become pregnant.

  • Seriously? Are you the devil's daughter or something?

    • Probably.

    • Thanks for letting me know.
