0:00.0	Are you saying that?
0:01.0	You'd recommend that a woman looking for a partner gets off the birth control pill until they find one?
0:05.5	Yeah, I mean, researchers found when women who were partnered to attractive men went off hormonal birth control,
0:11.0	they were more attracted to their partner.
0:13.0	But for women who were partnered with less attractive partners, they became less attracted to their partners

1:12.2	and makes us want to have sex. And there's more. But we also know that it affects men in two different
1:17.5	ways. And this has implications for society around us. I'll tell you why. So what are the
1:24.2	alternatives for women? Let's dive down into that first.
1:30.9	Quick one, before we get back to this episode, just give me 30 seconds of your time.
