Ways to Reduce Sex drive
Posted: 10/31/2007 9:50:58 PM
Does anyone know of a real way to reduce your Sex drive. I have heard anti-depressants might do it but that seems awful extreme.
I have increased my work-out time recently since Winter is coming up and I feel like a 14 year old boy in Math class all over again. It's getting redicilouis. I tried pushing myself harder but it just made it worse. I don't feel like taking care of myself two times a day and I don't want to push it on my wife because we already have a steady sex life that works well.
There is no way I would go somewhere else not even a option for me so at the moment it's either cold showers when I wake up or go back to my regular routine.

Any Ideas?

" I don't feel like taking care of myself two times a day and I don't want to push it on my wife because we already have a steady sex life that works well."

Within this dilemma lies, IMO, the solution. Curtain A or curtain B.

Thats horrible

That might work for awhile I suppose but I'm not trying to ruin my sex drive just reduce it a bit.


you could try controlling yourself.

Which I am doing. I'm just trying to see if someone knows a way to bring your desire down a bit. It's not like I am sitting in a corner playing with myself all day or my sex drive is going to make me end up on Jerry springer or something.

It's just on my brain alot more than normal must be kinda whats it's like for animals during mating season. Also it's not like I'm not getting sex on a regular bases. I've just kicked into some kind of overdrive. There are a $hit ton of pills and herbs out there to increase Sex drive, I'm just looking for some that bring it down a notch.

~OP~ Dear me. You're young, you're married and your wife is obviously adorable, could it be that maybe you are now understanding the "prime" of your existence???? She's on a different time-zone for her peak, but goodness ~ you should be talking to her, not to us. I have this dear friend, he's obsessed with his "needs" and the urgency of them. What I tell him ~ "Get over yourself or talk her into more interesting sex that leaves you wondering why you can't walk straight and your eyes are crossed for two days." If you want something to kill your sex drive, have a baby ~ that'll take care of that. Otherwise, love it now ~ it'll change, I promise.

OK, I'm clearly not a guy but if this isn’t ‘normal” even for you then maybe you do want to see a doctor: maybe it really is a chemical imbalance whereas going on medication for a couple of months might put back into perspective. I would just think that anything that’s interfering with your life is worth talking to a doctor about…Look if Viagra can pump up your libido in your mind as well as other places, then I’d assume they’d have something to ‘put it back to “normal?”...

Ps. If you’ve recently started taking any new medication or herbs etc, that may be what’s causing the surge in hormones….

We do talk about it and we already have great sex. I just don't want to be the guy thats pushing his wife for sex all the time. There is a point where it makes it not neer has fun anymore and it's not like i'm not having regular great sex. I'm just trying to see if there is a way to bring myself down a notch ot two so she doesn't feel like i'm always up on her with the sex pressure. I can deal one way or the other...

And thanks I know my wife is adorable, that picture is from our first date.

The only change I've done is switching to my winter workout's but it normally doesn't affect me like this at all that I can remeber. I'm not taking any supplements at all and i've increased my food intake a bit.
I think a doctor might laugh at me if I went in and told him my sex drive has hit some kind of a spike.

Doctors are supposed to be trained to be sensitive to their patients & not laugh at them; although I gave my
Dr. a chuckle once, had a marathon video-game session one night & tore the muscles in my thumb, wrist, all
the way up my damn arm! She's wrapping me up in a tensor bandage & telling me "no video games for a week"
& she just can't get this damn grin off her face. I'm like: "What?! What?" Her: "Oh, nothing. Really" I keep
asking her & finally she replies "It's just that I've never treated an adult for a case of Ninentdo thumb before!"
ROFLMFAO!!

They get requests for HIGHER sex drives all the time, I'm sure this will be a refreshing change of pace for your
doctor. Or perhaps he might have a suggestion for hers.

Another possibility, try googling herbal/natural websites or stores, for some alternative to drugs. Chamomile tea
& peppermint tea are supposed to be very soothing & elaxing, great for relieving stress. Be careful what you select,
& especially when it comes to sharing with your wife, because contrary to common belief, they do have side-effects,
similar to the way drugs do. For instance, a woman trying to get pregnant, should NEVER drink strawberry leaf tea.

I'm sorry... Why would you want to do such a thing? I mean... seriously...

If it's really that bad, have a heart-to-heart with your c@ck. Simply explain that in this post 9/11 environment, it just isn't appropriate to have so much sex all the time. Your c@ck will probably be confused by what you are saying and that will be the perfect opportunity to inject it with some kind of non-boner juice of your choice. I recommend the tears of a baby unicorn.

Nos800, let's think about this for a moment. You just said your wife and you have
"a steady sex life that works well." I'm curious how you define "works well"
when 50% of the people in this marriage don't seem quite satisfied and are now
looking for ways to reduce the Sex drive.

Now I'll be the first to admit, you have a difficult situation to contend with here.
So all I can tell you is a short story from years ago.

So years ago (eons now), a group of us as Scouts were having a candid talk with
our favorite (fairly cool and fairly openminded) long distance running priest.
And the topic of sex and masterbation came up. And one of the guys said:

"Father, you know, sex, how do you deal with the urges?"

And without missing a beat, this Padre said, "Why do you think I run marathons?"

Beyond this, however, I'm not sure what to tell you Nos800. But at the very least,
when you say you and your wife have "a steady sex life that works well, " maybe
it's time to re-think what "works well" means 50% of the people in this marriage
don't seem quite satisfied and are now looking for ways to reduce the Sex drive.

Just food for thought,
Hope that perspective is of some help,
CJ

Hmmm how do I explain this...

I have hit a spike that is unreasonable to myself. Lets just say I wasn't married and I was single this would still be a unreasonable high drive i'm currently at. My normal frequency for being in the "Zone" is a few times a week.

I'm currently at a few times a day to the point that it is annoying.

Don't go messing around with a good thing - you might end up having no sex drive at all. A few times a day is not excessive. Just take care of it yourself or focus on hobbies. If you're really worried, try Sexaholics or Sex Addict meetings.

I'm sure your doctor wouldn't laugh!....seriously they'd do blood tests to make sure there wasn't an excessive surge in testoterone which can cause serious health problems...if nothing else, just go in for a 'physical" and see if the tests come back with concerns...then you won't offically have to ask the doctor.... :)

Honey you are probably working out your ass muscles to much. When working out try not to clench your ass so hard as long as you start to keep in relaxed this sex drive should settle down for you. LPN

see if you can find an herb called 'chaste tree berry.' also known as 'monk's pepper,' the latin name is vitex agnus-castus. typically used to regulate the female hormonal cycle, the herb was traditionally used by priests to maintain celibacy. it won't completely kill your sex drive, but it can help to diminish libido.

good luck.

Just a thought - there may well be periods in the year when your sex drive may well peak out a bit, and it will be on your mind more often. We are after all part animal. Its no worries. It may be more of a case of just riding it out.

The other thing is exercise will contribute to having a healthy sex drive as it can help prompt the creation/release of varying hormones that support it. It may also be a contributing factor - perhaps doing some research on work out routines so that you can alter it yet still pretty much gain from it what your seeking may help.
