An Australian woman believes that she “became a lesbian” after going off the pill, claiming she felt “dull” while on contraception, only to now feel like a “horny teenager” with her new girlfriend. Of course, the story quickly went viral. The woman said in an interview that before the pill, she used to be “100 percent into men,” and once she stopped taking it, she “suddenly” realized that “women are hot.”
Doctors claim there is no science behind the claim—but many women say the same thing happened to them when they went off birth control. A TikToker and podcaster said that one of his ex-girlfriends, who’s bisexual “but mostly lesbian,” told him that while she was on the pill, for one week every month, she found that she was “straight.” In response, a research psychologist said, “I’ve heard from women who thought they were bisexual and then went on or off the pill and had that change where they were either completely straight or thought they were completely lesbian. The thing I’ve heard most frequently is that they become a bit more straight when they’re off the pill.”
