If you are looking to boost your sex life, birth control may be the answer, health experts say. A study by the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health showed that couples who use contraception have as much as three times more sex than couples who do not. "Contraception is a tool that can separate sex from pregnancy. That can transform the role of sex in a relationship from just procreation to also enjoyment", said Suzanne Bell, an author of the findings released at a three-day family planning conference in Bali, Indonesia on 28th January, 2016.
The researchers examined national health surveys in 47 low to middle income countries, with data on 2,10,000 women - all of them in relationships and in need of contraception. The women were asked if they had had sex in the last month and more currently using a family planning method. About 90% of women who used contraception said they had had sex over the last month, compared with 72% not using contraception. Many women do not use or stop using contraception such as the pill or intrauterine devices (IUD) because they suffer side effects. Bell suggested offering women a wider choice of contraceptives to address this problem.
