'Love Is Blind' season 6 star Amy Cortés explains why birth control was a major issue in her relationship with Johnny McIntyre, and why she was against it.

"It was more so what I would be putting into my body that I just didn't feel comfortable with," she tells EW.Sydney Bucksbaum is a writer at Entertainment Weekly covering all things pop culture – but TV is her one true love. She currently lives in Los Angeles but grew up in Chicago so please don't make fun of her accent when it slips out.

"It was more so what I would be putting into my body that I just didn't feel comfortable with," Amy tells EW of why she didn't want to go on birth control. "Fully support it for any woman who decides to do it, I feel like women should be empowered to do what they feel like is best for them. But in that moment I just felt like I didn't want to do that. So we explored other options.

As the episodes have come out, she's been shocked to see their conversations about birth control get so much attention. "It was a surprise because I didn't expect it to be as big of a deal," she says. "Obviously it is a huge deal, especially if you're considering to marry somebody. But he hadn't been with somebody in the past that wasn't on birth control, so I feel like for him it was more of a shock, which was more of a shock for me as well because I feel like I know so many women that are not on birth control. It was just definitely very different based on both of our experiences.
