A woman who thought she was straight her entire life says her sexuality changed after she stopped taking birth control.
30 year old Tessa Bona decided to take a break from the birth control pill after 15 years of taking it and realizing that the pill was making her feel fatigued and disconnected from life. After she stopped, she said "I had so much more energy, I was excited about life. On top of this, my sexuality was changing. For the first time in my life, I became really sexually attracted to women. I told my friends that I think I was ready to start dating girls."
For the past six months, Bona has been dating 24-year-old Phoebe Chakar, who she called the "absolute love of my life." and added that "It breaks my heart to think this might never have happened if I was still on the pill."
