Confounding Factors
The menstrual cycle may nudge women to feel more sexual around ovulation, but many other factors also influence women’s libido:
- The Pill. Hormonal contraception alters the natural menstrual cycle. A few of the studies showing cyclic libido divided participants by their use of birth control pills. Women on the Pill showed no monthly libido changes, but those not taking hormonal contraception did.
