Contestant from Love Is Blind Season 6, Amy Cortés, has opened up about her decision not to go on birth control and how it affected her relationship with fellow contestant Johnny McIntyre.

Amy expressed her reasons in an interview, stating, “It was more so what I would be putting into my body that I just didn’t feel comfortable with,” as reported by EW. She supports other women’s choices but felt it wasn’t right for her personally.
To avoid pregnancy, the couple deliberated over options such as Johnny undergoing a vasectomy or using condoms. “Condoms are a sense of birth control in that sense,” Amy noted, underscoring their importance in contraception discussions.
Amy was taken aback by the significance of the issue in their relationship since she knew many women who also do not use birth control. The matter was equally surprising to Johnny, who hadn’t previously dated someone not on birth control.
