What\u2019s going on? Can you get her (and the great sex) back? The mystery may be solved by looking into her contraceptive method. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Birth control can affect a woman\u2019s libido,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> so the key is finding the right method to help her stay in the mood.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Libido Explained: The Role of Desire in Sexual Health<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Libido, also known as sex drive, is a person\u2019s interest in sex, both partnered and solo. It can take many forms, such as:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sexual thoughts and fantasies<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feeling of sexual tension in the body<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Masturbation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Initiating sex with a partner<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Science currently has no method of measuring libido. We also don\u2019t know if there is a level of sex drive that can be regarded as a sign of health. You can be healthy and still show little or no interest in sex, for example, if you\u2019re a person on the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/erectile-dysfunction\/do-i-have-ed-or-am-i-just-not-interested-in-sex\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">asexuality spectrum<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sex therapists and doctors are most interested in sudden changes in sexual interest. These can be a sign of sexual health problems or psychological issues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For an average person, sex drive will change over time. It\u2019s usually very high in teenage years and in the 20s. Adults see peaks of desire when they have a new partner. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/erectile-dysfunction\/viagra\/low-libido-when-does-it-become-a-problem\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drops in libido<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can be linked to important life changes, such as childbirth or loss of a loved one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2.jpeg.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-35159\" src=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2.jpeg.jpg\" alt=\"male partner happily carrying his female partner\" width=\"780\" height=\"521\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2.jpeg.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2.jpeg-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2.jpeg-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Understanding Female Birth Control Methods: From Barrier Methods to \u201cThe Pill\u201d<a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2.jpeg.jpg\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medicine has come a long way in giving women options to control their fertility. If used correctly, some female contraceptives are nearly 100 percent effective in preventing pregnancy. Let\u2019s look at the birth control methods designed for women and people with ovaries:<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fertility Awareness Methods<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is an all-natural approach to family planning. Although it\u2019s about the woman\u2019s menstrual cycle, partners can work together to make sense of her biology.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The idea behind these methods is simple: Observe your body&#8217;s signals, such as temperature, to know when you\u2019re fertile.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some couples choose to abstain from intercourse during fertile days. Others use barrier methods, such as condoms, during those days to minimize the possibility of getting pregnant.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Barrier Contraceptives<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Barrier methods of birth control are contraceptive methods that physically block or prevent sperm from reaching the egg. Here are some examples of barrier methods:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Male condom<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Female condom<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diaphragm<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cervical cap<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contraceptive sponge<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spermicides<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Intrauterine Devices<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.plannedparenthood.org\/learn\/birth-control\/iud\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Intrauterine devices (IUDs)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are mechanical methods of birth control. They are inserted into the uterus to create an unfriendly environment for the sperm so it can\u2019t reach the egg.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are non-hormonal IUDs containing copper and hormonal IUDs that release the hormone called progestin. The ones with hormones can sometimes block ovulation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chemical Contraceptives<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many women use spermicides as extra protection together with other methods of birth control. These gels or suppositories are inserted into the vagina and block the sperm\u2019s journey towards the egg. They also reduce the sperm\u2019s ability to reach the egg.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hormonal Contraceptives<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/3.jpeg-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-35160\" src=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/3.jpeg-1.jpg\" alt=\"Effectiveness of contraception\" width=\"780\" height=\"397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/3.jpeg-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/3.jpeg-1-300x153.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/3.jpeg-1-768x391.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/a><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the first Pill <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/toxsci\/article\/125\/1\/2\/1666129\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">came out in the 1960s<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it began a true sexual revolution.

Some methods affect the woman\u2019s cervix (the canal that leads to the womb) and uterus, preventing implantation.\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/3.jpeg-1.jpg\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>The Connection Between Hormonal Birth Control and Libido in Women<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All contraceptive methods can affect the woman\u2019s sex drive in one way or another. But the link between birth control pills and sex drive has been most widely discussed and studied.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Women in their reproductive years show more interest in sex when they are most fertile. That\u2019s nature\u2019s way of keeping our species alive. In the peak fertile period of each month, the woman\u2019s body has the highest levels of estrogen, the hormone that makes her feel sexy (and horny).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taking the Pill or another form of hormonal contraception means interfering with those natural cycles. Sometimes the side effects are low libido and bad mood. Some women may also experience vaginal dryness \u2014 which can also lead them to avoid intercourse.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The good news is that taking the Pill can improve sex drive for some women. Part of this effect may be hormonal, and part may be the peace of mind that comes from using a reliable method of family planning. The hormonal composition seems to play a role, too. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/23320933\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Low-dose pills can lead to more drops in sex drive<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> compared to higher-dose formulations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>The Importance for Men to Understand Birth Control Effects on Women&#8217;s Libido<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a man, you may not be aware of how birth control affects her sex drive. If you\u2019re in a relationship, don\u2019t assume she\u2019ll take care of pregnancy prevention. Show interest in her contraceptive choices and ask how they make her feel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And if you notice birth control\u2019s side effects on sex drive, don\u2019t get upset. Flag it as a possible issue and look for solutions together. Accompany her to see the OB-GYN to find options that are more libido-friendly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If her contraceptive method has boosted her desire, good for you! It still doesn\u2019t mean, however, that she\u2019s going to be available whenever you\u2019re in the mood. Always make sure she\u2019s interested in lovemaking. If she\u2019s not up for it, you can still have a nice kiss and cuddle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Managing Changes in Your Partner&#8217;s Libido Post Birth Control<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your partner decides to go off birth control, especially a long-term method, her body will need time to adjust. Check in with her regularly as she may have mood changes or more painful periods.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For some women, dropping hormonal contraception could mean the loss of sex drive. Give her at least a few weeks to get back to her natural rhythm. Chances are good that she will feel desire again. If she doesn\u2019t, talk about it and suggest seeking professional help, preferably together.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contraceptive methods are a convenient explanation for sexual problems, but sometimes, the issue lies elsewhere. Think of your own desire levels. Aren\u2019t you less interested when you\u2019re stressed at work or have persistent back pain?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your partner may be going through a difficult time or have other health issues that influence her sexuality. Important life events, such as pregnancy or menopause, are also known causes of low libido in women.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/4.jpeg.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-35161 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/4.jpeg.jpg\" alt=\"Plus size woman comforting herself when getting out of bed\" width=\"780\" height=\"520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/4.jpeg.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/4.jpeg-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/4.jpeg-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Managing Negative Effects of Birth Control on Libido<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lack of sex drive, particularly if it lasts for months, can take a toll on a relationship. Intimacy helps love thrive and keeps you connected to your significant other.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your partner always says no when you make a bedroom invitation, you have a right to feel disappointed. Don\u2019t give her the silent treatment or try to pressure her into sex.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s not easy, but try to tell her \u2014 calmly \u2014 how you feel. She may not realize how important the erotic aspects of your relationship are for you. Ask questions and try to understand where she\u2019s at. And look for ways to keep the flame going.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If she\u2019s not ready for intercourse, get professional advice from a doctor or sex therapist. In the meantime, work on bringing the physical closeness back. Revive the art of the French kiss, give each other massages, dance, and hug. Sexuality is so much more than penetration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Key Takeaways on Female Contraceptives and Libido<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contraceptives have changed the world and our intimate lives. Women can now enjoy sex without the constant fear of unplanned pregnancy. But birth control and sexual desire don\u2019t always go well together.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If her family planning choices are causing the loss of sexual interest, don\u2019t wait too long to find help. Nowadays, there are lots of contraceptive options, so you can opt for what works for you and your partner.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>eDrugstore Is Your Source of Information and Treatments<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A great sex life starts with knowledge and understanding of sexuality and relationships. eDrugstore.com is your trusted source of information and medication for intimate problems, such as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/erectile-dysfunction\/?__mscta=2392_96951_11487\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">erectile dysfunction<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and sexual health concerns.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Contraceptives can reduce a woman\u2019s sex drive.
