The women were tested twice - once when none of them were taking the pill and again three months after some began using the pill.

When women were taking the pill, they preferred less masculine male faces (those with more narrow jawbones and more rounded faces, for instance) than before they started taking birth control, the results showed.

Some research suggests that a preference for masculine or feminine traits may be linked to genetic benefits for a couple's offspring, such as strong immune systems.

A few studies have even found that women prefer more masculine traits during the fertile phase of their menstrual cycle.

一项新研究揭示，和大众观念相反，不是所有女人都喜欢强壮的下巴和男性化的外表。

那些服用避孕药的女性实际上更喜欢长相阴柔的男子，这种长相特征让人联想到忠诚和稳定。

研究发现，相比那些没有服避孕药的女性，服用避孕药的女性认为长相不那么男性化的男子更有吸引力。

那些在女方服用避孕药期间初次相遇的夫妻，相比那些在女方不服避孕药期间相遇的夫妻，男方拥有男性化长相的可能性更低。

数百万女性采用激素避孕法，而包括这项研究在内的若干研究都表明，避孕药会影响女性对另一半的偏好。
