Birth Control Should Be Illegal - Here’s Why

Summary

This video delves into the surprising effects of hormonal birth control on women’s relationships and sexual health. It reveals how birth control can influence women’s attraction to men, alter behaviors in relationships, and even cause sexual dysfunction. The video explores scientific evidence showing that hormonal contraceptives affect women’s preferences for masculine traits, genetic compatibility, and even scent cues. It also highlights the impact of birth control on jealousy, conflict dynamics, and increased risk-taking behavior. Finally, the video addresses how birth control affects not only women but men, through its presence in the water supply, making the entire population more estrogenic.

Takeaways

• 😀 Birth control not only prevents pregnancy but also alters women's preferences for certain male traits, including masculinity and body type.
• 😀 Hormonal contraceptives cause women to prefer less masculine features, resulting in partners being perceived as more emotionally supportive but less sexually attractive.
• 😀 Women who met their partners while using birth control may lose attraction for them after stopping birth control, especially if their partner lacks masculine features.
• 😀 Birth control disrupts the biological compatibility test, reducing women's preferences for genetically dissimilar mates, which can create compatibility issues later.
• 😀 A woman's attraction to a partner's scent may indicate healthy genetic diversity in potential offspring, which is disrupted when using hormonal birth control.
• 😀 Women on hormonal contraceptives may show more jealousy and mateguarding behaviors, particularly in response to perceived infidelity.
• 😀 Hormonal birth control affects women's conflict dynamics, making them more likely to engage in confrontations and less likely to avoid social threats.
• 😀 Women on birth control are more prone to engage in risky behaviors, unlike their natural tendency during peak fertility when not using birth control.
• 😀 Sexual dysfunction is common among women on hormonal contraceptives, with high percentages experiencing vaginal dryness, orgasm struggles, and pain during sex.
• 😀 Birth control in the water supply affects both men and women, increasing estrogenic exposure, which can impact hormonal balance in the population.

Q & A

How does birth control affect women's attraction to men?

Hormonal birth control alters women's preferences for male partners, leading them to prefer less masculine facial features and body types. This could result in a perception of partners being emotionally supportive but less sexually attractive.

What happens to women's attraction to their partners when they stop using birth control?

Women who met their partners while using birth control may lose attraction to them once they stop using it, especially if their partner didn't exhibit more masculine features. They report lower sexual arousal after discontinuing birth control.

How does birth control impact genetic compatibility in relationships?

Birth control reduces women's preference for genetically dissimilar mates by altering scent cues linked to MHC (Major Histocompatibility Complex) genes. This can cause long-term compatibility issues once birth control is stopped, as they may no longer find their partner’s scent appealing.

What is the significance of MHC genes in mate selection?

MHC genes are involved in immune system function, and their diversity helps offspring fight diseases. When a woman selects a mate based on MHC cues, it promotes genetic diversity, improving the health of potential children.

How does birth control influence jealousy in relationships?

Women on birth control exhibit more frequent mate-guarding behaviors, including jealousy and monitoring their partner, especially in response to perceived infidelity. Despite being unable to conceive, they may be more worried about their partner fathering a child with another woman.

What effect does birth control have on women's behavior regarding risk-taking?

Women on birth control are more likely to engage in risky behaviors, as hormonal contraceptives disrupt the natural avoidance of social threats, such as danger or unfamiliar situations, which typically occurs during peak fertility in the menstrual cycle.

How do birth control users behave during peak fertility compared to non-users?

When not on birth control, women typically avoid risky behaviors during peak fertility, like walking alone at night or attending unfamiliar social events. However, birth control users do not exhibit these same avoidance behaviors, making them more prone to risky actions.

What are the sexual side effects of hormonal birth control?

Common sexual dysfunctions linked to hormonal birth control include vaginal dryness (58%), difficulty orgasming (68%), and pain during sex (72%). These side effects can negatively impact sexual satisfaction for women using these contraceptives.

Can hormonal birth control impact a woman's ability to orgasm?

Yes, 68% of women using hormonal birth control report struggling to orgasm. This could be due to the hormonal fluctuations caused by contraceptive use, which affect sexual responsiveness.

How does birth control in the water supply affect men?

Hormonal birth control that seeps into the municipal water supply can increase estrogen levels in both women and men. Men may become more estrogenic, which could potentially affect their hormonal balance and overall health.
