Relationship suffering because of birth control pill?!
Question:
Relationship suffering because of birth control pill?
My girlfriend and began suffering tensions in our relationship in November last year, by December/January we were arguing more frequently, and while we still meant a lot to each other, we started having sex less frequently, primarily because of her diminished sexual interest. Since almost 2 months ago, things started getting really difficult, and she became practically asexual, she became aroused only once, but after a LOT of slow,careful work on my part. All this has put a massive strain on our relationship and two weeks ago, after a fight, she said she had no more sexual desire for me and this must be a sign that our relationship had died. However, I know that she has no desire for anyone else either, nor does she have any desire to pleasure herself, when I am not around. In late October, she switched to a strong estrogen-containing pill,her acne cleared up immediately and other signs showed that here testosterone levels were way down.Could this be the cause of all our problems?
Answers:
Yes, I bet ya this is the problem. Besides all this the pill can mess one up so they could have many health problems down the road.
My mom took DES, a estrogen drug, when she was pregnant with me and I have never had a sex drive. Is it the cause, who knows but it is suspect even a doctor told me this.
I do consider myself as asexual.
