Did your sex drive die on birth control?

birth control numbed me entirely

My sex drive was ridiculously high before Nuva Ring, and its still ridiculously high. No change at all for me.

im really not sure i never had sex while off it and as for masturbation.....i dont really remember

its killing me how not sexy i feel now that im on the pill :/

I've tried three different generics for by BC. On the first one, my sex drive plummeted, plus it screwed up my moods. On the other two, I noticed a small dip, but it wasn't a big deal.

I was on the pill for a really long time, but I never had any changes. I recently switched to the Patch. I love it. Seriously. It's so relaxing only having to change a patch once a week. I don't have any side effects at all like I did with the pill. The pill I would be nauseous for 3 months after switching kinds, I'd have major hormonal swings. But with the Patch I haven't had any of them. I really like my patch. I do however get a little rash on the spot where my patch is. It goes away after removing the patch. I think it's more because you are wearing a patch in the same place for 7 days, so the skin isn't breathing.

I'm on the pill right now and have been for about 7 years. In all that time my sex drive hasn't been affected by the birth control.

I'm not on birth control any more (YAY VASECTOMY!), but when I was, I didn't notice a change at all in my sex drive.

I'm not on birth control and haven't been for years and when I was on it I was just married so sex always happened.

I was on Mirena while my husband was deployed. When he came back I had no drive for sex. Once I had it taken out my sex drive came back. So much happier now.

I took a couple different brands of birth control pills and they always reduced my sex drive by a lot. I always considered it a horrible joke. When I *could* have sex, I didn't want to, when I *shouldn't* I desperately wanted it. Now I'm on Mirena and I've been called "insatiable." Happy ending!

There was a definite decrease.

No change for my girlfriend

It was the same as it always had been but once on birth control felt more freedom to do what I wanted when I wanted. I was mostly on the pills, In between breaks from the pull I was on the diaphragm and did a quick one week stint with the IUD.

I didn't feel like I had a sex drive until I stopped taking the hormonal birth control pill

I didn't realize I had such a high sex drive until I stopped taking birth control.
