  • Title: [Loss of libido and frigidity due to ovulation inhibitors from the psychological viewpoint].
    Author: Frick V.
    Journal: Fortschr Med; 1974 Oct 17; 92(29):1161-4. PubMed ID: 4424092.
    Abstract:
    Reports on the pharmacological effects of oral contraceptives on libido and sexual sensitivity are inconsistent. Recent reports seem to suggest that sociopsychological factors may profoundly influence the side effects of antiovulatory agents. Loss of libido was predominantly observed in women with a contradictory attitude toward a female role on the one hand, and safe prevention of the reproductive function on the other. Other possible factors are insufficient information on the mode of action of hormonal contraceptives and a rejective attitude towards sexuality on the part of the physician.
