Why the Pill is a passion killer: It may have sparked a sexual revolution, but a new study says the Pill has an ironic side-effect


A new study has suggested that the contraceptive pill kills women's sex drives.


A survey of more than 1000 women in Germany found that oral contraception dramatically reduced their levels of both desire and arousal during sex. Other hormonal methods such as implants, had the same effect, yet the researchers found that condoms and other barrier methods of protection boosted sex drives more than those not using any protection at all.


Yet 29% of women aged 16 to 49 in the UK are on the pill. Research suggests that at least one sixth of those women will suffer from lowered sexual desire, which means millions of women are suffering needlessly.
