    Default Birth control leads to higher divorce rates.

    If you met your partner while on birth control chances are your relationship will end once she's done taking it.


    Good luck!

    That's because birth control screws up women's hormones.

    I thought it probably had something to do with the risk factor. People are more likely to mess around if there's no kid involved.

    Do you specifically mean pills/other hormonal stuff? Or contraception in general?

    I heard about the scent thing, but really, women on the pill are the only ones seeking...

    Link? People who posted before do bring up valid points, but correlation =/= causation.

    I remember reading the article about the scents before too.

    Keep in mind, if you meet your partner, and are physically attracted naturally, when the woman is on birth control, neither partner may find each other as attractive. But don't worry, it's only a temporary thing.

    @octo Thank you for the fantastic citations, especially the Behavioral Ecology one. Journal articles make me damp.

    Excess estrogens make you cranky and depressed...Not to mention no sex drive.

    So you can see how this all adds up to a divorce.
