Contraception (birth control) is a regimen of one or more actions, devices, or medications followed in order to deliberately prevent or reduce the likelihood of a woman becoming pregnant or giving birth. Therefore contraception is the utilization of various and sundry surgical procedures, devices, practices, agents, or drugs with the intention of preventing conception or impregnation (pregnancy). Methods and intentions typically termed birth control may be considered a pivotal ingredient to family planning. Birth control is a controversial political and ethical issue in many cultures and religions, and although it is generally less controversial than abortion specifically.

ABSTRACT

The effects of contraceptive pills in changing sexual activity during the luteal phase (Days 18-25) of the menstrual

cycle were studied in 51 18-35 year old women. divided into 2 groups, all women wore pedometers and were given

identical looking capsules, contraceptive pills (mestranal combined with norethindrone or mestranol for 14 days and

then mestranal combined with norethindrone) or placebos (lactose). The women mailed daily data slips during their

first cycle concerning menstruation, intercourse, and/or orgasm. Pedometers measured amount of walking during

each day. Regardless of different pills it was found that the presence of endogenous progesterone during the natural

cycles affects the male so that he does not desire coitus as frequently during the luteal phase. The absence of

endogenous progesterone during pill cycles removes whatever restraint progesterone had on the male. It is believed

a nonbehavioral mechanism should be sought in humans to account for the change in male desire. Sexual activity

increased for women on contraceptive pills but not on placebo.(AUTHORS', MODIFIED) (PubHealth.info Document
