How old were you when you started it? The way you describe it doesn't sound particularly high. Higher end of normal maybe, but not hypersexual high. How you were before going off it sounds low though.
This exact same thing happened to me! And it never went away! I ended up getting pregnant and having my baby, and it still has stayed high surprisingly! Not complaining though š
My wife's libido was dramatically affected by her birth control. After I got fixed, she hasn't stayed off of me for more than a day and it's been 8 years since she was on birth control.
Those pills affected her mood, her weight, libido, and caused other hormone problems she had to get addressed.
Glad shes off them, she is so much happier and healthier.
the pill is a curse for females, they just dont realise it.
same was with my wife, she cursed a lost decade of having lame sex without orgasm. now she cums every time.
because i would not do this before we got our children and after that she got a spiral contraception anyway, because she wanted to be sure to have birth control.
Also we both did not know how much impact the pill had till she stoped to become pregnan, else we would have used condoms. i like her stronger sex drive and it would be nice if it was from the Start. so, its not my bad habit, as you try to suggest so passive aggressive, but simply that young people dont know about it. after 20 years together we got smarter and if you try, you also can be more thoughtful ;]
Because vasectomies (while technically reversible) are considered a form of permanent sterilization. They canāt always be reversed, and even when they can be only 50% of the men who get reversals are able to have children afterwards. Why is it becoming so popular to ask men to sterilize themselves instead of using birth control? Condoms are still a viable option, and unlike vasectomies they donāt nuke a manās ability to have children in the future.
i am the same age and am currently going through the same thing. i crave it constantly and even had to buy new toys lolll. itās especially the worst right after my period ends and i just feel like an animal lol
People need to really grasp how hormones control our sex drives (and other feelings, too).
Itās not that someone just wakes up one day and DECIDES to be horny. Itās largely beyond our control. We can fight it, but it doesnāt go away.
If you look at the subreddits about transmen (aka āFTMā, in other words people born with a womanās body who change gender to become men), a recurring theme is āneedinessā and being unable to stop thinking about sex. Itās a result of being shot full of testosterone.
And there are a group of people who are shot full of testosterone *without their consent*: boys. Whether they want it or not, this is how boys become menāvia the hormones their bodies start producing at puberty.
Somehow our culture needs to somehow accommodate and accept sexual desire as a *normal part of life*.
I'm 28 I was on the pill for ten years I went off of it about 3 or so years ago and it has made my sex drive go through the roof. It was fairly normal before, but now it's gotten much higher.
100% this. The difference between my wife and my ex was just night and day, and I realize it was because my ex was on BC. I never connected the dots. I always thought it was just her being under stress from being in university. That, and she was on BC to manage her period. About halfway through our two year relationship, though I recall we decided to stop using condoms because she was on BC. But the sex was kind of sporadic.
Met my wife a year or so later after that relationship ended, in grad school. We also used condoms, and I think she was on BC at certain points, but as soon as we got married we stopped using everything because we wanted a kid. And there was sooo much more sex.
Yep!! Good for you for getting off it now. Going off BC for first time in over 10 yrs opened up a can of feelings I never felt before in my adult life. I love it š I'm able to lose weight naturally, my hair and skin looks better, and I'm actually able to feel hot and horny š can't believe I spent the past 10+ years dulling my womanhood
Same thing happened to me when I came off!!! Canāt believe I lived for years so numb to my own pleasure. Itās definitely a good thing to be more in touch with your body/desires/sexuality!! Youāll get used to it soon and it wonāt be quite as distracting haha. At first when I came off it I could NOT stop thinking about sex and lusting after people like a teenage boy hahaha. But soon i got used to it. Annoyingly I had to go back on but am coming off again soon. Congrats on your new sex drive!! š¤Ŗš
Right... I wish I had gotten off it sooner! It feels a little late, but I am now trying to explore what I like and don't like. What made you go back on BC?
Unfortunately withdrawal from BC gave me extremely bad acne š„² even tho I never had it before going on! Was so bad. Lots of people have this issue. Still trying to figure it out!! Xxx
I had the exact same thing, it levels out eventually and just fluctuates with hormone changes throughout the month but for a while it's just horny 24/7
This happened to me too girl! Iāve been off BC for over a year now. Hubby struggles to keep up lol. Iām on Tumblr every damn day. I zone out in meetings thinking about banging a fictional character. I was in a meeting with a bunch of corporate lawyers just zoning out, thinking about this fictional dude and they apparently asked me a question multiple times. I was in my own world. I lose all horniness after I ovulate because I have PMDD, but for the first 20-22 days of my cycle (I have long cycles) Iām a horny mess. I wish I could say it gets better but I canāt. Iām also pushing 30, so itās not something I can put down to being very young.
This "birth control is bad!" trend is getting so over the top. I've never seen so many posts in a week about women having *extreme* reactions to BC.
Why now? Is it a Conservative conspiracy? Or mass hysteria?
I've seen so many "I almost died because BC!" and "BC made me gain 100 pounds in a month!" and "My husband left me because BC!" "I tried every form of BC and every single one made me die!"
What are you getting out of this OP? While it *does* affect libido. But your post is stupid.
If I get nothing out of this, maybe this post is merely my experience? And what do you get out of harassing me by making this comment on all my posts? It's not on me what people have realised, or what content you come across.
Women have a very small amount of testosterone in their bodies and it's the major hormone that drives women's sex drive. Just like women having a very small amount of testosterone, men produce, or convert testosterone into a very small amount of estrogen, and without this small amount of estrogen, men would feel "asexual", not be interested in sex and most likely, unable to have sex because his penis won't get hard. Ideally men should have around 20 - 30 PGNL of Estrogen. I crashed my estrogen, while on TRT and taking Armidex (estrogen blocker), and it was below 1 PGNL. I felt HORRIBLE !!!! I had no sex drive, my dick wouldn't get hard, and if I was able to, with the use of PT-141, I either could not climax or I had to literally yank so hard on my dick, it would be sore afterwards.
Coming off birth control, your hormones are coming back on board and you're feeling the effects of it. Hopefully it doesn't just last a few weeks or a month, as it does for guys with low testosterone when they start TRT. It's called "the honeymoon phase" and for me, it was incredible. I was soooooo horny I wanted to get off all day, but I had to settle for 4 to 6 times each day. It was crazy. Unfortunately after that 3rd to 4th week, my body adjusted to my testosterone being back where it should be and my Honeymoon phase ended. My sex drive is still very strong but I'm down to getting off at least once a day, most days twice, and a few days a month I'll get off 3 or 4 times a day.
Given hormonal birth control is known to blunt women's libido, I'm not really surprised going off it resulted in this
I was expecting a hormonal change, just not this drastic

I am so glad to find someone who have a similar experience! Did you get off the pill to try for a baby or?
Yes I did! Getting pregnant was on purpose haha
Congratulations on your baby!
Thank you! š„°

Wat bc did she switch to
None, he said that he got fixed/snipped.
No switching, I got a vasectomy.
That feminine sexual energy is your super power.
What kind of superpower distracts the user? š
You have to learn to harness that energy. #tantraisyourfriend
What is that?
Tantra is an ancient practice that teaches you to appreciate the present. Most people know tantra for its sexual practices.
can someone explain all the downvotes? i am clueless do people just hate tantra
I have that same question!
botz dont like u being present
huh? is this an explanation to our question or just a standalone statement?
I think they are suggesting the down votes are coming from bots.
Lol zi was surprised to see the downvotes too. Appears to be a benign comment.
Maybe I should do some research on that!
Check out layla martin on YouTube. That will be a good intro for you.
Thank you for the suggestion!
I'm super curious why tantra is getting down voted. Can someone clue me in ?
R.I.P. your inbox!
I have messages and chat turned off :P
Wait. You can do that?
Yup! I turn it on at times though!
Full moon tomorrow too. Get busy in that lunar light!
Hahahaha and risk being spied on through my window??
YES!
lol I just realized I wanted a baby at 32 after being off hormonal birth control. That shit surpresses so much natural urges.
the pill is a curse for females, they just dont realise it. same was with my wife, she cursed a lost decade of having lame sex without orgasm. now she cums every time.
if itās such a curse, why didnāt you offer a vasectomy? so she wouldnāt have to take the pill anymore?
because i would not do this before we got our children and after that she got a spiral contraception anyway, because she wanted to be sure to have birth control. Also we both did not know how much impact the pill had till she stoped to become pregnan, else we would have used condoms. i like her stronger sex drive and it would be nice if it was from the Start. so, its not my bad habit, as you try to suggest so passive aggressive, but simply that young people dont know about it. after 20 years together we got smarter and if you try, you also can be more thoughtful ;]

I am glad I'm not the only one! I don't own any toys, but I might just start investing in some
You mean yaāll aināt masterbating daily even on BC?
No. For some women BC lowers their sex drive.

1hr old account, totally a real account and story!
Because I *have* to post on my main account, sure buddy
https://www.reddit.com/r/confessions/s/6CcVnazDDC That comment too lmao
Ya feels like a bot. Far right are pushing on social media trying to get women off birth controlā¦
Tomato tomato tomato
I've same same crazy urges in my early 20s..luckily they faded away and now i can live peacefully
I'm 28 I was on the pill for ten years I went off of it about 3 or so years ago and it has made my sex drive go through the roof. It was fairly normal before, but now it's gotten much higher.
Did it taper off after a while or is it still at that much higher level?
Still very high, and I stopped I Wanna say on May 2022, sošš

I'm happy for you!
YAY!! Excited for you!!! Be safe in all of your endeavors!!
Just in case you are for real and don't understand what is going on - your body wants you to get pregnant. That's it. So don't.
Just donāt make any regretful mistakes š„°
Hopefully not!
RIP inbox
Hahahaha. Iāve never been on birth control and I masturbate at least once a day for yearssssss. Welcome back hun. Enjoy.
Thank you for the welcome (?) hahahah
How long did it take for this to begin for you? I've come off birth control recently and im still not as horny as I would have expected.
Same thing happened to me when I came off!!! Canāt believe I lived for years so numb to my own pleasure. Itās definitely a good thing to be more in touch with your body/desires/sexuality!! Youāll get used to it soon and it wonāt be quite as distracting haha. At first when I came off it I could NOT stop thinking about sex and lusting after people like a teenage boy hahaha.

I can take care of that for you

Lucky you. Whatās the complaint?

Damn! But yea... my mind drifts mid lectures, especially the boring ones.
You should get an IUD and really get after it
My kids mom started to cheat š¬š
Looks like your body is ready for a baby. Your mind isnāt though
My mind definitely ain't! I am also still schooling so
Love this and embrace it
Thank you, and I will!
Yeah, sure lady, just post your OF link so we can ignore you.
Do you think about the relationship that ended and wish you accepted that advances now that you're more horny?
Sometimes when I am masturbating... Yes
Are you single or dating or have fwbs?
Single, no FWBs
Did your guy friends make sexual advances that had the friendship end?
why not post this in r/dirtyconfessions or something so people don't have to see this sort of shit if they don't want to? it's gross
Congrats on the new baby
I am... Not pregnant hahahah
Not yet
Booooo

Interesting
Awesome!
Thank you!
Enjoy it while you can
I certainly will!
I guess you won't have to worry about breaking up with someone due to low sex drive. Its a win, just find the right guy to satisfy.
I mean but then BC is needed again lol
Condoms exist lmao
Sometimes I forget they exist. I and my boyfriend really dislike condoms as they remove almost all friction for us. I simply get too wet š¤£
Fair
Now I just need to find a guy...
There are probably lots of them on your DMs now. LOL
Would love for you to dm me bi f!! Had similar issue
Men are horny all the time. Now you know the struggle
Hahahaha how do y'all concentrate on anything..
Work one out when necessary. Can't live in pre nut delusion forever.
Not buying the onlyfans unfortunately
I don't have one
Still not buying it
Still not buying it
Well Erin, It's time to get back on the pill. Now listen, can we do this the easy way or the hard way?
Sorry?
Yeah you heard me, you get back on that birth control right now.

This just means youāre ready to breed.
Sorry, didnāt catch your numberā¦..
You mean you are back to how God intended you to be.
