In this Bitesize hear from Dr Sara E Hill author of ‘Your Brain on Birth Control, How the Pill Changes Everything’ about how research is now confirming what women have long suspected - that taking the pill influences the brain and thinking

Hear how research now suggests that women on hormonal birth control prefer less masculine male faces and listen to the full episode with Dr Sara Hill for a fascinating in depth discussion about the influence of the pill and the areas it affects

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The hormonal changes near ovulation play an important role in women’s partner preferences and sexual desires
• During points in the cycle close to ovulation when oestradiol or oestrogen is beginning to increase women’s sexual desire increases
• Women have a heightened preference for cues to testosterone presence
• Research now suggests women on birth control prefer less masculine faces and are choosing them
• The faces chosen by the pill takers had fewer testosterone markers

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘It makes complete sense when you understand the way our sex hormones influence sexual attraction and sexual behaviour’

‘When oestrogen is high women desire sex more’

‘Women are more drawn to these qualities at high fertility across the cycle’
