Rebirth of the fertility cycle, as girls liberate themselves from hormonal birth control

A sea-change in the relations between the sexes has taken place within the last 5 years, largely without public commentary, as it did not fit into any of the dominant take-cycles (MeToo, Trump Derangement Syndrome, or wokeness in general).

Namely, girls have started to ditch hormonal birth control, en masse, for the first time since it became widespread among teens and young adults in the '90s and 2000s. The realities of the fertility cycle, which is suppressed by HBC, are going to flood the society and culture like a tidal wave that has not been felt in several decades.

True, girls are going to go through greater cramping pain during the PMS phase of their cycle, and along with that, greater irritability, snappy talk, and lashing out. But that's only a few days out of the month -- they're also going to be soaring to far higher highs during the fertile phase of their cycle, being more extraverted, excited, flirtatious, smiling laughing & giggling, and flush full of positive vibes.

Trading a couple days of crabbiness for a couple WEEKS of merrymaking? Yeah, I think we'll manage somehow. If you're a girl-liker, you're in for a real exciting change of pace, probably for the first time in your life. If you're a girl-hater, you're going to be contemplating suicide like you've never known before, as unbridled feminine hormones come crashing against your flimsy "no girls allowed" cardboard fort.

And right as the 15-year excitement cycle has entered its restless warm-up phase (as of 2020), and dudes and dudettes feel eager to come out of their shells and start mixing it up with each other again! I actually think this is part of the even longer 60-year cycle of cocooning mood / falling-crime vs. outgoing mood / rising-crime. But those are all topics for future posts in what must become an ongoing series.

For now, let's first take a look to see what THE DAYTA tell us. I first had this hunch a few weeks ago, when I noticed how full-throttle hormonal my favorite streamers are -- both during their PMS lows and their ovulating highs. I didn't recall any previous era of pop culture having young girls in such a state of nature, except my kid memories from the '80s, back before every teen was on the pill, and when there was still an outgoing mood and rising crime.

Millennials when they took over YouTube, movies / TV, music, podcasts, etc., did not show this profound cycle between snappy lows and pheromone-radiating highs. And even when the excitement cycle was restless and danceclub-friendly, such as the late 2000s, there was a pervasive message of "look but don't touch" (e.g., "My Humps"). That is, she was excited to get out of the house and go dancing, but was not actually boy-crazy or horny, so don't read that into her booty-shaking moves on the dance floor.

In the 2020s, the message is going to be, "Look -- and if you're hot, please, come touch". That doesn't mean only hot guys are going to be in demand, since the plain-looking girls will have to settle for the plain-looking guys. But they will still be boy-crazy and horny for half of their lives now, unlike earlier when the plain-looking girls wouldn't have settled for their male counterparts, having been lobotomized by HBC to feel no urge to connect with *somebody*.

Sadly, there are no data on how prevalent hormonal birth control is by age and year. Maybe if you lump all females 15-49, but that's not relevant. And maybe if you just want a snapshot here or there. But it's not tracked like the prevalence of STDs, live births, marriages, or anything else in the kinship / dating-and-mating domain.

They really don't want people to know what's going on with it, which is also why the effects of the pill are never discussed during the now-obligatory sex ed classes in high school, despite all of the girls going on the pill around that time and lasting until menopause, if they don't decide to reverse course.

And I don't mean the rare side-effects like blood clotting -- I mean the 99% common effects like flattening out your moods like an efficiently programmed robot, draining your libido, making you withdrawn, prone to migraines and depression, and the rest of what happens when your body is tricked into thinking you're pregnant, while not actually having a pair-bonded mate to support you through the process, and no actual new family life to look forward to.

So I went to the place where women might actually announce their life decisions -- Twitter. If it can fit into some kind of discourse or take-cycle, just blurt it out, and see if it goes viral. So far, no luck with going viral, but we can still track how common the decision has become.

I searched "going off hormonal" to make sure they're referring to the types of BC that disrupt the natural hormone levels and cycles, and not condoms or whatever. And while there are other variants on this phrase (like "go" off), the pattern is clear enough with this one exact phrase. And there are media reports confirming the shift during this time period, so it will do fine.

Since there are only in the single or low double digits per year, I read through each one, and weeded out those that are irrelevant (like trannies talking about going off a different kind of hormonal intervention). And when I say there's a "post" on Twitter, I mean it's about their own personal decision or debating process, not all the separate posts that are linking to the same article or YouTube video. I want to know how many different individuals are gabbing about their decision, or near-decision, to go off the pill.

* * *


From 2009 to 2014, there are only a handful of posts per year with "going off hormonal", no more than 5. And no articles on other media sites that are being linked to. This is the steady baseline, since even when HBC is common, some girls here and there are going to ditch it.

In 2015-'16, there are still only ~5 posts per year, but now there are also articles at other sites being linked to. In 2015, 3 articles: one from Pinterest, one from Facebook, and crucially, one from the feminist outlet Jezebel, which is a both-sides attempt to please the rear-guard pill-poppers and the au naturel avant-garde.

(BTW, someone in the Silicon Valley tech cartel has crippled Google's search engine so badly that that article does not appear when you specify the year of publication in your search for it. I figured it would help to narrow down the results. And yet requiring "2015" totally hides the article, while removing the year reveals it as the first result. Just another reminder that the internet is disintegrating more and more all the time, and that you cannot rely on Google's search engine for much of anything these days.)

In 2016, there are links to a fear-mongering article about going off the pill, scaring you into thinking that your vitamin D level could drop. Right, women suffered from low vitamin D levels for all of human history, until the pill became widespread in the past couple decades. Part of the knowledge-destroying, authoritarian movement known as I FUCKING LOVE SCIENCE. ("You'll ovulate nothing, and you'll feel indifferent.)

In 2017, the number of posts rises above 10 for the first time and has stayed at that order of magnitude, rising ever since. There are 12 posts, and links to a YouTube personal essay video. In 2018, 14 posts, and links to another YouTube personal essay video. In 2019, 19 posts.

By 2020, the number of posts clears the 20 mark, at 28. In 2021, there are 23 posts. And in 2022 so far, there are 17 posts -- easily clearing 20, maybe even 30, by the end of the year.

Obviously, these numbers are just the tip of the iceberg for the general population. For every Twitter user who spontaneously blurts out, "I'm off the pill!" -- there are thousands or millions more who are doing so IRL, without posting about it. The important thing is the soaring trend in these numbers, as well as the attendant rise in the number of articles reacting to that trend. That means it's real, not just a handful of weirdos on Twitter.

In fact, there's only a few counter-cultural / socialist / etc. types who are part of this trend. It's mainly the normies, bluechecks, and political moderates. That means it generalizes far more broadly, than if it were only the hammer & sickle, BPD art ho, or other niche demographic. Likewise for the last period of going natural and embracing each other, during the '60s, '70s, and '80s -- it was not just a niche demo of Beatniks, but a fully mainstream phenomenon in every school and town across America.

As this mother of all vibe-shifts has taken place, the articles have surrendered in the battle to finger-wag women into staying on the pill. Now they're at the bargaining and acceptance stages, like "So you're going off hormonal birth control -- *insert audible groan here* -- Here's what to expect".

Another change has been the nature of women's comments about going off HBC. During the vulnerable phase of the excitement cycle (2015-'19), when people were in a touch-me-not refractory state, they were mainly about improved mental / emotional health. But right on schedule, as the restless phase kicked off in 2020, they've begun gushing about how horned-up their libido has become -- and not in a despairing tone either! LOL.

"Why didn't somebody warn me my sex drive was going to kick into overdrive??!?! [devil horns] [starry eyes] [tongue out] [devil horns]"

None of this shift has to do with planning to get pregnant, only a handful of posts ever mention that. They simply don't want to have their minds and bodies neutered any longer, and if that means they need other forms of birth control, so be it.

And a large share of young women aren't even fucking anyway -- a topic for a future post, about how HBC was not about birth control per se, but rather part of the broader trend of psych drugs to domesticate young people's wild-and-crazy behavior, during the cocooning phase of the '90s through the 2010s, along with Adderall, Prozac, and the rest of it. That mirrored the mood-flattening drug craze of the cocooning Midcentury, epitomized by "Mother's Little Helper" -- Valium.

I don't think most guys, of any generation, understand how widespread the pill had become by the 2010s. The medical establishment was forcing it onto girls at 16, when they were never going to have sex for years, and they have stayed on it for decades. Until now -- Millennials are going to finally feel what it's like to be a real feminine agent of chaos -- and creation.

And Zoomer girls are not going to get sucked into that sterilizing vortex in the first place. Maybe they were on it for a little bit, but likely not long at all, and they're never going to spend several decades warping their nature with it. Not at a mass scale anyway.

Social life has been so dull while half the population has been given next-level lobotomies, in addition to the drugs that the boys were put on. If you're a Millennial or Zoomer, and don't have crisp memories of the entire decade of the '80s, you're in for a real surprise. It's going to start off more like the '60s, and will take several decades of these changes before it reaches '80s levels of party-time all the time.

It's not only the wild-and-crazy behavior that's going to come roaring back to life, though. Feminine outgoing-ness supports and sustains all other sorts of relationships, connections, and social networks. Friends, acquaintances, colleagues, families -- all these social domains are going to become flooded with hormonal women searching for an outlet for their skyrocketing drive for engagement with others. Certainly online, where everything social is migrating to, but presumably also in whatever remnants of IRL there will be.

Secure your harness, raise your hands into the air, and get ready to shout with excitement -- these pill-killing women are about to take us on one hell of a rollercoaster ride, for the next several *decades*. Girl-haters, watch out: you better have built a bunker of misogyny, rather than that little cardboard fort. The boy-crazy barbarianettes have already begun to rampage the countryside, and they're not going to take any prisoners if you impotently try to block their libidinal path!

    If no marriage. No sex. Sorry girls. Its either marriage or the Monastery for the "He-man woman haters" club. And we have to know if they are good people who will be good wives and mothers.

  2. Gura is great at channeling each phase of her cycle for maximum content-creating effect. Both the lows and the highs. It's a testament to her strength as a performer, rather than get wiped out altogether when she's not feeling so great. Why not use each phase to her advantage?

    I have to emphasize how new this is, since most Millennials at her age were all on HBC and didn't go through much of a monthly rollercoaster.

    For example, playing the snappy / trolling / ankle-biter role during the past two streams, when she also casually mentioned that over the weekend she'd been laid up in bed with not-so-fun health issues.

    A fair amount of her chat got what she meant, but a lot of others did not. We still have a lot of work to do to clue guys in to these cycles, which in fairness are a new phenomenon since so many girls have ditched HBC in recent years.

    A week or so before that was the "towering over you" / "you kina cute" roleplay in Minecraft, when she was clearly in the fertile half of the cycle. Also the hilarious Freudian slip that she did not catch, excited about making wrestler characters with LOTS OF PUBIC HAIR (she meant body hair). LOL. Those are just topics that the mind naturally wanders to during that phase of the cycle.

    It's a reminder that female homo sapiens do not have "concealed ovulation" as some of the silly scientists insist. Nah, you can tell, both the highs and the lows.

    For instance, you ever wonder what the mating calls of a shark in heat sound like? Let's just consult this nature documentary:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwvlR01NZ5k

    Ah, never a dull moment in the life of a 20-something babe who is not medicated by HBC. Same phase of the cycle as the Minecraft roleplay -- later part of the calendar month.

    But then less than a week later, she was down in the lows, making the best of that state to put on one of her best "hashtag I'm sad" karaoke streams, including her immensely popular cover of "Creep":

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPQSmhjONdA

    That was during the first week of the calendar month, like her recent ankle-biter Stanley Parable streams.

    And no, I don't actually have a spreadsheet tracking where my favorite streamers are in their cycle. You don't need to write it down -- it's so intensely obvious, you can just file it away in your mental folder.

  3. And also no, I'm not going to use this knowledge for sinister purposes. But if I want to write another spicy song for / about her, I'd better wait until the second half of the calendar month. And if there's a more sad / hang-in-there song, then I should do that pretty soon.

    Yeah, their appeal should not matter when they're published. But I'd like for the muse herself to resonate with the emotional state of the song right when I put it out there.

    Nothing worse than a song -- or other effort -- falling flat with a girl just because you weren't reading her cues, and delivered it at a time when she wouldn't resonate with it.

    A soft sad song while she's ovulating and horny as a billygoat? Wrong time. A spicy song when she's PMS-ing? Very wrong time, hehe.

    Fan-artists should keep that in mind as well, if they want their efforts to be well received right when they publish them.

    Obviously there's no way to read the daily and weekly cues of a bunch of girls, at the same time. That's why you're supposed to just focus on a handful, and if you're pair-bonded, only one. Makes it manageable.

    In fact, I wonder if that's part of the reason why humans have semi-concealed ovulation -- to encourage a male to be in touch with her, and not a whole-ass harem of females, over the course of the cycle.

    He can prove that by knowing what to do and say at each step along the rollercoaster, and she'll think, "Wow, this guy rarely misses a beat with my rhythm, he's growing attached to me, awwwww".

    Just because it's fans and their oshis, rather than bfs and gfs, doesn't make it any different. It shows that we have grown attached to you yourself, and that you're not just one of hundreds of streamers whose content we promiscuously consume while you're not checking our browser history.

    I recall Poki mentioning this recently too. She self-deprecatingly said she's probably just a "side monitor" streamer to her chat (i.e., a mistress rather than a waifu), and that if she stopped streaming, her audience would easily just go somewhere else on Twitch.

    That was just a test of their faithfulness, and they all said Don't be so silly, of course we love your content specifically, why else would we be tuning in for the long-haul, etc.? She just wanted their reassurance. :)

  4. Suppose the he-man woman haters try shouting the barbarianettes down with woke slurs ("racist", "white supremacist", "heteronormative", etc).

  5. Can you picture a lot of girls like "Ariel" in the near future?

  7. The War against Men, Masculinity, Fathers in the home and so on has many casualties.

    Although that is starting to turn around with the Johnny Depp win at least in regards to the Courts.

    Likewise with virtuality and fentanyl taking many of them out of the social spaces where those girls congregate.



    Many of them are adapted to be in cultures where they are to be proud of being a Man and Masculinity and so on. But there is a complex of factors that takes them out. Maladapted and dying.

    Those are the highly environmentally sensitive.

    In addition to the increasing numbers of those descended from the religious. As documented by Edward Dutton.

  8. This is fascinating. I found your blog through Permies this morning and started to explore.

    In a world where 0.014% of the internet applies to me (being generous with that DAYTA), I didn't expect to come across this gem.

    I took hormonal birth control for ~ 20 years, most often continuously. Why bother with a period or cramps when I could override my body and work, work, work for the system instead. Such a good millennial!

    I came off hormonal BC in 2019 on my own volition. Not for pregnancy, but I wanted to lower my chances of blood clots amidst the laundry list of neurovascular illnesses and other ICD codes I had accumulated over the years. What I did NOT expect was for so many aspects of my life to improve (both internally and externally).

    Now I have feelings, a cycle, a sex drive, happy, robust mental health, capable of crying tears, a much enhanced body, and I don't have to wait in line at the drugstore every month for insurance to approve my sexual numbing agent. Great!

    I commend you on your observations and this fascinating post. Thank you for your time.

  9. Wonderful news to hear, and I'm glad you're talking about the parts of your fertile phase, not just the menstruating phase, of the cycle. If people only talk about bleeding, etc., it's not exciting news to hear that it's coming back. But all of the things from the fertile phase coming back, is a real breath of fresh air!
