Attraction Confusion

Taking oral contraceptives may diminish a woman's attraction to genetically compatible mates. It's known that women who ovulate naturally prefer the scent of men who have immune-system genes that differ from theirs; such a pairing is believed to promote fertility and children with healthy immune systems. Now, a study led by S. Craig Roberts at the Newcastle University in England shows that the Pill shifts women's preferences toward the scent of men whose so-called MHC genes are more similar to theirs. In theory, he says, this could "lead to the breakdown of relationships when women stop using the contraceptive pill, as odor perception plays a significant role in maintaining attraction to partners." Going on the Pill after committing to a partner would prevent the risk.
