    Default Anyone on birth control? Does it affect your earnings?

    I have never been on the pill while I was dancing (3 years) but I was on it for years before that. I want to get back on the pill, but I hear it suppresses ovulation and tricks your body into thinking it is pregnant. I am afraid that without ovulation or that fertile week (that occurs naturally) I won't make as much money. Any thoughts or experiences on this? When I was on the pill, my cycle was more regular, I had clear and beautiful skin, and my breasts were bigger without any other weight gain. I miss those times. However, it made me mean and crazy so I stopped.

    Ive danced both on the pill and off. Off the pill... I basically wanna fuck anything with a pulse = bad news when working in a strip club cause Im not interested in money, just sex. On the pill = much more convenient for the real world and now Im not a massive skank at work.. bc I want money. And not gonna be a skank for money either. Just give me money. Off the pill Im a crazy sex driven hormone slut.

    So are you on the pill now? Haha that makes sense, I hear the pill decreases your sex drive which is good if it was too high to begin with. So I guess because of that you must make more money on the pill! Interesting.

    The fact that the pill "tricks your body into thinking it's pregnant" is a myth.

    However, long story short, being on birth control does suppress ovulation, which can make you have less of a sex drive. It all depends on the person and the pill you are on. Different doses of different hormones affect everyone differently. Don't be afraid to experiment with different birth control pills..there are plenty of them out there, you just need to find the right one for you.

    As far as pheromones..I wonder if birth control would have any affect on those? Hm interesting thought...

    I was on hormonal BC while I danced from 18-21. Then have had a paragard ever since. Never noticed a difference.

    I've read those articles and honestly I think this article was totally or at least half made up. The amount of money that each dancer should vary on an individual basis and how in the world are they gonna keep track of every girl's cycle like that, and why would these dancers participate in this "study"... Just iffy to me. Also according to the article dancers make less during menstruation, and I make MORE. That is why I am asking the ladies here I want to hear it from the real source.

    Yep I have no sex drive at all on the pill. I still have sex cause at the end of the day the orgasm is something I need but ya it kills my libido. I've been back on 2 years...doesn't affect my earnings. I'm good at faking horny.

    I miss the animal sex drive I had when I wasn't on the pill. Now I never get horny. I just think "Well, I haven't had an orgasm in 3 days, no wonder why I'm on edge"

    and then turn the vibe on or climb on top of my man.

    I wish I could stop taking it but I don't want to get preggers.

    im too lazy to write about it now, but i will say that hormonal birth control ruined almost a year of my life. I think you should consider carefully whether or not it is something you want to mess with.
    The best thing i have heard in a strip club to date:
    customer: we should get married right now! we should get a shotgun marriage!
    me: uhh... i think you are misunderstanding what a shotgun marriage means. A shotgun marriage means you knock me up and my daddy shows up at your door with a gun and forces you to marry me and raise the baby. You mean elope.
    customer: hmm... nah actually i will take the shotgun marriage. At least then we would be having sex.

    ^^^I believe it. I would be interested in hearing about this if you ever feel up for it.

    When I was on ortho tricylen lo I became extremely depressed with no sex drive at all and I almost overnight began to hate my boyfriend (now ex). I had the worst anxiety of my life and would run 5 miles a day to get the edge off. Every night after dinner I would be struck with the worst anxiety. My BF was supportive. Whenever I had anxiety I needed to go for a walk and he would go with me to make sure I was okay. The pill changed me 100% back then. I turned into a miserable zombie with no ups or downs. I ate less and was miserable until I was able to get off the pill. I still wonder if the pill is what ruined my relationship with him.

    I'm now on Apri and it has killed my sex drive. I'm still having sex, but I'm rarely horny enough to initiate it. I'm also not as excited about life as I used to be. I noticed when I first started taking April, it controlled my moods. My highs were not as high and my lows were sort of mellowed out. My anxiety has came back, not as strong as before. I'm not sure if this has to do with Apri. I wouldn't say I'm depressed, but I'm generally a very happy, excited person (when you have a hard childhood and a blessed adulthood this will happen to you ) and this drug took that away from me.


    I don't want to risk getting preggers and my BF can't stay hard with condoms, I also hate condoms so I not sure if we have any other options.

    BC makes me very dry down there! Sex drive seems to be normal and money is just the same as before! I have been on it for 2 weeks now.

    I just started a thread in ladies only about BC. I'm looking for good non hormonal options if anyone here has any input that would be appreciated. Thanks

    Default Re: Anyone on birth control? Does it affect your earnings?

    I was thinking about getting on hormonal birth control because I'm almost, like, bipolar in my cycles. It's not that I'm just "normal" until I get PMS, and then I get bitchy or emotional or whatever. Rather, when I ovulate I get a bit over-the-top... I talk too much, I take more risks, and I start things that I can't finish later when my hormones desert me. Worst of all, I tend to start up new relationships that I can't sustain--not necessarily romantic ones, but I'll just be extra friendly and chatty with people that later I'll realize I don't always want to have to talk to, and then they'll be hurt or confused when I'm uninterested in them. After I ovulate I get about a week of normalcy, but then the PMS kicks in and I am extremely anxious, morose, etc. I would love to just be stable for a while. But I am worried that I'll lose my libido...

    I've had the arm implant Implanon for almost a full year now, I love it, it cleared up my acne and seems to have made me less moody. and i don't think it has messed with my earnings, this was my most profitable year dancing (though I did also get a BA in july and started drinking lol), I don't think it's had any negative repercussions really.

    I like birth control because it helps my horrible cramps and makes my skin clear, however it makes sex painful for me and I find it harder to stay toned. I choose to not take it.

    Follow up:

    It's been a few months since I've been on the pill now, and it has increased my boobs by one cup size and it has cleared my skin. My boobs look rounder and firmer as well. Also my overall skin (body and face) is smoother and more even toned. I am also less moody and sex is the same. The bf is still horny around me as ever. And TBH I have been making MORE money after I have been on the pill! I think it's a combination of all the positive effects it has had on my looks. I'm very happy with my decision.
