Hey Ladies: This Is Why You Aren't Enjoying Sex...

...and, no, there aren't pics of big dicks after the jump...

According to a new survey released by the Kinsey Institute (yep, those pervs are still around), women who used hormonal contraceptives had the lowest overall sexual satisfaction score, while those who used both condoms and hormonal methods actually reported the highest levels of satisfaction.  

Does that surprise you? Here's the full report:

If you've never had an STD: you're much more likely to be using a contraceptive method that has decreased your sexual enjoyment. [Scanner reminds you not to have unprotected sex.]

If you use hormonal contraceptives only: you are highly unlikely to report decreased pleasure, but your sex life is sorely lacking...

If you use both condoms and hormonal contraceptives: you are somewhat more likely to have explosive orgasms from intercourse, your overall sex life is probably much better. Then again, it's not just guys who complain about condoms: if you use rubbers (or rubbers and hormonal helpers), you are " six to seven times more likely to report decreased sexual enjoyment compared to those who used hormonal methods only."

These are strange but interesting findings (what do you except from Kinsey?) What can we make of them?

I bet if you use hormonal contraceptives only, you're more likely to be in a long-term, monogamous relationship.  For most people, the excitement of sex wanes a little when they're in long-term relationships.  Or perhaps people who use condoms and hormonal contraceptives tend to be more sexually adventurous, both necessitating condom use and allowing for more "explosive" experiences.
