#Contraceptivepill

In Thailand and around the world, birth control pills are more than pregnancy prevention. They help manage acne, painful periods, and hormonal imbalances. As discussions about relationships and sexuality grow more open among Thai youth, a popular question emerges: can hormonal contraception alter who you find attractive or even affect the bond with your partner? Experts and recent research offer nuanced insights into whether pills can influence attraction or spark “loss of love.”

For decades, millions of women in Thailand and around the world have relied on birth control pills (“ยาคุมกำเนิด”) not just to prevent pregnancy, but also to help manage acne, painful periods, and hormonal imbalances. But as more young Thais engage in open conversations about relationships and sexuality, an intriguing urban legend has gained traction online: could the pill secretly shape not just your menstrual cycle, but also your feelings towards your romantic partner? Recent expert commentary and scientific research—together with lived experiences—shed light on whether hormonal contraceptives can actually influence who you find attractive or even cause you to fall “out of love” with your partner.
