There are other reasons to take the pill than just contraception. It works by giving you a shot of hormones that prevent you from having a normal fertility cycle. Not having the hassle of periods every month is a big motivator for some people.

Doesn't it also curb your desire for sex?
It depends on the pill. Different pills have different side effects on different women; I think most end up working with their doctor and trying several different kinds before they find one they like.
I don't know. It hasn't been a problem for anyone I've known.
