Of course, everyone is different, but I was in a similar situation, where I wondered if I *really* needed to be on hormonal BC due to a recent break up and no immediate prospects.
I went off it for a month and, well, I must have forgotten what my real periods were like, or the hormones must have really pulled a number on me. I sweated more, had bad break outs, was very moody, had severe cramps, and a heavy + long flow. But yeah, my libido did sky rocket. Even so, I've taken the BC religiously ever since.
I'd say if you're really curious about your libido and such, give it a try, but be prepared for it to be a rough cycle, because it might be.
