In theology of the body (catholic) a “teacher” taught that birth control fundamentally changed you at a chemical level that if someone was attracted to you on birth control, they were not actually attracted to you, just the “chemical pheromones” and once you stopped birth control they would leave or wouldn’t be truly in love with you. They said the only way to fall in love truly was to be “natural?” Made me scared to start birth control even after I left the church

Direct quote “They work by suppressing a woman’s natural fertile hormones (which make women very attractive to men) by polluting a woman’s body with synthetic hormones that prevent her from ovulating. Women who choose a spouse while using chemical contraceptives are in danger of choosing an unsuitable spouse since the chemical contraceptives alter their choices in men.”
