Getting girly again

I just started back on hormone-based birth control recently, after a few months of being off of it–the return to the BC being highly motivated by an ‘accident’ that led to a frantic trip to the grocery store for some rather spendy Plan B.  I have mixed feelings about taking hormones, and will be pretty happy when DH gets the snip so this is no longer a concern for us.  However, there do seem to be some positive side-benefits to the hormones.  For one thing, my libido returns to a level that seems far more ‘normal.’

Resources: Proctor on Birth control

Continuing with the theme of posting links to resources about Mormonism and sexuality: One important article is Melissa Proctor’s article Bodies, Babies, and Birth Control, which discusses the history of birth control among Mormons. The article is available in Dialogue’s free digital archive. Highly recommended!
