After analyzing more than 1,101 sexually active women, experts pinpointed the consequences of using contraceptives on a woman’s sexual life. Consequently, the project coordinator at Indiana University’s Center for Sexual Health Promotion, Nicole Smith advised women to make use of some other safe measures for avoiding pregnancy rather than going for hormonal contraception, especially if they experience any unusual symptoms such as complications to reach orgasm, producing lubricants, arousal and decreased desire of having sex.
Before finalizing the findings, the expert team examined the gathered data, collected online by the Kinsey Institute, and compared the results of non-hormonal birth controlling measures and hormonal contraceptives. Afterwards, they observed that women enjoying sex with condoms, diaphragm, cervical cap or withdrawal are likely to have a normal sexual life as compared to rest counterpart making good use of hormonal birth controlling pills as well as other identical methods such as patch, ring or shots.
"But you don't hear about this same effort going toward reducing the negative impact of contraception on women's sexual functioning. It's just not part of the discussion”, explained the lead study author, Nicole Smith.
In addition, the expert has emphasized on the need of immediately implementing some efficient policies to address the matter. Nicole Smith has also advised to produce more comfortable condoms for man that can enhance the pleasurable feeling along with establishing a counseling centre for women as an attempt to spread awareness about other available contraceptive alternatives.
Meanwhile, a survey has exposed that 10% British women have confessed that they avoid making use of any contraceptives as they are not willing to "ruin the moment" whereas more than 50% ladies have nodded to take risk with contraception. Simultaneously, around a third of women shared their experience of having unprotected sex. The Bayer Healthcare has suggested the findings after performing a survey on 3,000 women.
