That's because birth control pills may put a damper on a woman's sexual desire by desensitizing her sense of smell. The study, which tested 60 women between the ages of 18 to 40, found that women who were not taking the pill experienced rises and falls in their ability to sense smells that corresponded to particular stages in their monthly cycles.
