Experience

Started this pill when I was 17 and first sexually active. Believed I got on with it fine but in a way, sexually, it was all I’d ever known. Had a very low sex drive so was having sex for my partners sake more than anything. Came off the pill and feel a lot less anxious, and finally have a sex drive! Orgasmed for the first time (which was a shock!) and feel like I have a whole new sexual lease of life! Wouldn’t go back on this pill now as I’m finally enjoying sex. Just be wary girls!
