The Pill may put you off smell of your man and ruin your relationship
To millions of women it has been the great liberator over the past four decades, allowing them the freedom to control their fertility and their relationships. But the contraceptive Pill could also be responsible for skewing their hormones and attracting them to the “wrong” partner.
A study by British scientists suggests that taking the Pill can change a woman’s taste in men — to those who are genetically less compatible.
The research found that the Pill can alter the type of male scent that women find most attractive, which may in turn affect the kind of men they choose as partners. It suggests that the popular form of contraception — used by a quarter of British women aged between 16 and 50 — could have implications for fertility and relationship breakdowns.
The findings, from a team at the University of Liverpool, add to growing evidence that the hormones in the Pill influence the way that women assess male sexual attractiveness.
The Pill is thought to disrupt an instinctive mechanism that brings together people with complementary genes and immune systems.

If the pill was not used, would there be less interracial dating?
This rings very true from my experience. In both of my serious relationships, my girlfiends somehow changed after going on the pill. In both cases it lead to the death of that connection between us, I just aattributed it to simply “falling out of love” but i always thought I noticed a similar change after they went on the pill. My fiancee ended up leaving me, marrying another man within two years and six years later called me to tell me her life went wrong and she wasnt happy despite having a nice home, upper class lifestyle and two children. I always felt like I lost herb to an outside power and influence, now i see that the hormonal changes from the pill played at leasta a small role.
I don’t know about the findings of this study, but I do know the pill has a lot of nasty side effects and that women who care about their health (or their daughters’ health, since a lot of women start taking it as teenagers at the behest of their mothers) should avoid taking it. Women who have used the pill for years who decide to go off it often go through “withdrawal symptoms,” such as chronic yeast infections. As with so many things in life, you don’t get something for nothing.
It’s ironic that a discovery of the pill which was promoted as something to lead to greater personal freedom, being free of nature’s laws, would lead to alot of unhappiness and many social problems. it’s hard to measure the amount of unhappiness caused. Probably more pain and societal loss than happiness.
I personally would like to see the social engineers pay the cost or at least pay a price for what they have done.
