What if a good, sexually balance marriage was disturbed by the female partner taking the Pill?
In Western society, there is still the trend of marrying both traditional values and pharmaceuticals of the sexual revolution. Like two virgins ‘waiting’ till marriage, but when married using the Pill/Depo/any-hormone-that-keeps-pregnancy-away.
A tiny percentage of couples who ‘keep sex for marriage’ might be staying virgins before marriage because they are afraid of pre-marital pregnancies. They have a chaste ‘courtship’, chaste engagement, and are virgins before the wedding night. Even I know that happens very rarely in today’s Europe. But the point is that the fear the couple had of pre-marital pregnancies, becomes fear of marital pregnancies after they get married. The couple get married, and their GP says ‘well did you know that the Pill is now considered to be as effective as sterilisation?’ Wherever did GPs learn this jaded line? GP theatrical school? Everyone who goes to their GP for the Pill hears it.
The woman who has only ever slept with her husband gets the Pill prescription, and a few months later she gets a prescription for anti-depressants. According to research, women on the Pill have much higher usage rates of ‘mothers little helpers’, tablets of the Valium variety. One of the listed side-effects of the Pill is depression. The fertility hormones, those responsible for monthly ovulation, are 'happy' hormones and research also proves that many women are at their happiest during ovulation.
So the wife takes a Pill every morning, and the man is simultaneously either unaware or happy to have the womb of the wife wilt, and the ovaries dried. This has to raise questions for the many women who marry the man ‘of their dreams’/their ‘Romeo’, but find that when they are married, and subsequently on the Pill for decades that they lose their attraction for their husband.... The years on the Pill condition the women to be infertile, and to ‘skip’ the high hormones of ovulation during which women are more likely to be attracted to their lovers/husbands. Also, the Sheffield University professors found that the Pill makes women more likely to be attracted to girly men. Slowly, but surely, the wife is drawn to the feminised men who walk like poodles behind the Sex and the City characters, or the man in the local clothes shop who could play a part in the local production of High School Musical. A possible rational for wanting to be unfaithful during marriage?
As for the husbands. Here’s a common scenario. A married man has a loving wife at home, and they have been married for eight years, and have two kids. Of the eight years that they have been married, the wife has been on the Pill for six years. The Pill prevented Wifey from having fertile days (when the scientific studies claim that men are most likely to be attracted to her) for years... She’s only been fertile when she’s conceived the kids. The man wonders why he’s not more attracted to his wife, and he searches for the ‘chemistry’/wild attraction that he and she shared in the early days of ‘dating’. One night, the husband goes to his younger brother’s stag party. They go to a lap dancing club. The 30 year old lap dancer isn’t a teenager anymore, but you know what, she’s not on the Pill and tonight she’s ovulating. Her bikini clad body is giving off the ‘fertile’/’I’m available’ signals and the husband pays the lap dancer a bit extra. No one asks why a married man is cavorting with a lap dance. That's Western culture for ya. Husband may go home to his wife the next day, but guess who he’s thinking of when they make love...
