The Divorce Pill


Just one more reason I use Natural Family Planning, and I believe the Pill is bad for our bodies.

Aside from the stuff we already knew that the Pill (in all its various forms) can do to our bodies--stopped menstration, abort fetuses, thin uterine lining, cause strokes, cause weight loss or gain, precipitate moodiness, decrease sex drive), a new study shows the Pill actually causes women to be attracted to different types of men than before.

Wedekind did a study with women and smells. He found that women are attracted to men who have slightly different pheromones in their bodies than the women do. This combination of pheronome smells makes for healthier offspring, as well as the "connection" or "sexual sizzle" between two people.

Well, the Pill changes that.

It makes women repulsed by men whose pheromone levels they would naturally be most attracted to. It also makes women more attracted to men with a more similar pheromone. When the women begin or get off the Pill, suddenly they are no longer attracted to their previous partner.

Weird? Very weird. Just another reason I'm glad I use natural pregnancy prevention that works with my body the way God made it.
