Since\u00a0hormones are what attract your mate, could changing your hormone levels make you less attractive?<\/p>\nSince\u00a0hormones are what attract your mate, could changing your hormone levels make you less attractive?<\/p>\n
Yes, it\u2019s a possibility.<\/p>\n
Recent studies suggest that women who use hormonal contraceptives, such as the birth control pill, have very obvious physical and behavioral changes.\u00a0 When a woman\u2019s hormone levels are changed, their chemical signals that attract men are disrupted.\u00a0 This change in hormonal behavior changes their attractiveness to men, and causes their own preference to change such as the masculinity of men they are attracted to.<\/p>\n
Although visual stimuli are often the first thing to draw us toward a potential mate, the majority of what causes sexual attraction is based on chemistry.\u00a0 Just like many other mammals, humans emit pheromones which are chemical odors that allow transmission of important information relating to sexual compatibility.<\/p>\n
Women are attracted to men who have immune systems very different from their own.\u00a0 This is an evolutionary benefit to the children from this by having a much stronger immune system than either of the parents.\u00a0 However, women on birth control do not exhibit this preference.\u00a0 The problem here is that bypassing this evolutionary \u201cscreening\u201d could result in less healthy offspring.![\"sex](\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/BirthControl-2.jpg\")

Another major issue is women are ovulating, there are marked physical and behavioral changes.\u00a0 A woman\u2019s voice becomes pitched and her scent becomes more attractive to men.\u00a0 She will behave different socially, including wearing more revealing clothing, bolder makeup, and increased flirting.\u00a0 This is a natural behavior that attracts men at the right time to reproduce.<\/p>\n
A woman\u2019s personal tastes also change.\u00a0 During her most fertile period, a woman will become more attracted to men with very masculine features.\u00a0 She will be drawn to faces with more symmetry and bodies with more muscle tone.\u00a0 It is also possible that if her current partner is less masculine that she may become less attracted to him.<\/p>\n
Taking any type of hormonal contraceptive can throw a wrench in the natural hormonal exchange<\/p>\n
The subtle behavioral cues and \u201csexy\u201d hormones that come into play during ovulation are a major attraction for men.\u00a0 The problem is that these natural aphrodisiacs are wiped out when a woman is on birth control.\u00a0 Also, men no longer show an increasing interest for women based on their menstrual cycle since there are no longer any cues toward reproduction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
