Shit That Intrigues Me: Birth control pills effecting chemistry and attraction. Apparently, when women are ovulating, they are attracted to men with more masculine features. Now, studies suggest taking the pill can affect hormones, “making less-masculine men seem more attractive.” Huh.

Not only is it the inspriring story of a man’s spiritual journey and quest for...
