How irresponsible is some of the advice in this thread!

Some of the "remedies" listed (finasteride, SSRIs) can be irreversible in some people (go read propeciahelp where some people have in fact committed suicide after years of suffering due to irreversible loss of libido and other horrible side effects), not to mention having other side effects such as causing gynecomastia, brain fog, etc.

Nobody should get on SSRIs or any other prescription drug for something normal and stupid like this. Have you all lost your minds?

They say marriage does tend to suppress sex drive after a few years.

The book The Edge Effect is a bit of a long read but it has to do with balancing your brains biochemicals(serotonin, GABA, acetylcholine, dopamine).

As one poster mentioned earlier, dopamine is responsible for your libido and an overactive libido shows that you have too much dopamine.
The idea is to have all your biochemicals relatively balanced based on your dominant nature.

You can take a test online to see what dominant nature you are and what neurotransmitter you are most lacking in. Once you get that info you can find what "safe" supplements can balance you out.

You could also just try to take stuff like Modafinil, Selegine, racetams or other stuff that increase concentration.
Even if you have an high libido, if you can focus intensely on the work you got to do, your sex-drive shouldn't bother you much until the end of the day.

If you have some kind of small ADD(Attention deficit disorder), it could cause you to over obsess over sex and you would blame the libido when it's in the fact the concentration problem which cause you to only think about sex and not concentrate.

It's just an hypothesis, I might me wrong.

Actually non-masturbating works in the long run, if you can handle that one to two weeks of 'Vwithdrawal syndrome'.


Yeah but you'll just start dropping loads in wet dreams instead, which can be rather messy I can tell you. :wacko:


Never had one in my life.

I've been cutting down on the fapping lately. What I found makes it easier is to wean myself off it by having one day off, where I don't do it at all, and then one day where I have the freedom to do it as much as I wish. The idea then is that my willpower isn't taxed so much since relief is never further than 24 hours away. At first this resulted in me doing it way more on my "on" day, but eventually my mind and/or body became conditioned by the off days and I realised that my desire was really a self-reinforcing loop where thoughts trigger desire and acting on the desire triggers more thoughts. I find I don't think about sex nearly as much, now, without making any effort to eliminate the thoughts directly. The urge "leaves me alone" for much longer. I'll soon be graduating to 2 days off, 1 day free, and hopefully it will go just as successfully.

I also found this thread to be both fascinating and motivating. Don't be put off by the thread title, be sure to read all of it not just the OP. It gives you an incentive to stop; before reading it I didn't see much gain for giving up the constant gratification I was receiving.

I must say that I had to take a drug for 1 year which reduced my libido and now, even though my libido is back, I'm not compulsive as before on sex. So your theory make sense. But, at first, not fapping for a while, as the risk of transforming you into a nymphomaniac lol. It works but you would have to suffer for like 2-4 weeks, until your "withdrawal"(like Animal said) fade. Addiction to masturbation is real. There is a forum somewhere only about this problem.

finasteside will kill your libido. I can use 5htp and st john's wort and still have a sex drive, even on testosterone, finasteside kills my willingness to do anything with the opposite sex. It's a married girl's dream come true. Come to think of it, I bet you a woman invented it.

Well, 10 months ago I took the challenge and I didn't masturbate for a month (it was 32 days). I didn't really felt that it's easier at all on day 30 than day 5.... On day 33 and 34 I have jerked off for about 4 times in total. Since than (nearly 9 month) I didn't fapped... And I really don't feel that I need to.

33 days! Damn the longest I ever went was 3 weeks or so. I forgot to jerk off for a week then decided to see how far I could take it... Man I must have came in 30 seconds (nothing new there lol) and got a taste of my own medicine so to speak...

I was addicted, so I know. Why do you think I tried an alternative approach?

There are pharmaceuticals which can mimic the reduction in prolacin which is responsible for the positive dopaminergic disinhibition effects experienced by some abstinent individuals. For most people there is little benefit from abstaining because they already rapidly catabolise the excess prolactin produced during masturbation, but for those individuals who do not, there will be a mild but notable improvement in overall well-being.

Just looked up prolactin. Seems to induce the refractory period or something. I bet if someone found a substance to inhibit prolactin they'd be a millionaire (No refractory period would be desirable to people, I would guess). New viagra equivalent, O_o

Prolactin is also necessary for proper testicular function, among other things.

You can also try, Cannabis, Meletonin & playing with your sleep cycle (some people needing more sleep, and others needing less) Try Poly gama sleep pattern for a few months see if that does the trick.

Inhibiting prolactin enough will suppress testosterone production, which would be counterproductive.

Hey guys,

I just wanted to know if there is anything I can take to help lower my sex drive. It would really help not having to think about female anatomy every 2 seconds while I'm studying in the University.

Thanks,
E.


This is absolutely normal. After 3days without orgasm i can fuck my tv [i'm 26y/o]...so it's normal.
Masturbate more if you don't have the girl. it will 100% help. I can do this 8-10 times a day :D

Wait 15 years and you'll be here asking how to increase your libido :D

Ginko can inhibit prolactin.

Caloric restriction has been mentioned to decrease libido. Large doses of resveratrol also work. I wonder if metformin would? Aerobic exercise withouth strength training, too. Avoid those things involved in testosterone synthesis; cholesterol, zinc, riboflavin.

Melatonin can suppress your libido.

http://en.wikipedia....onin#In_mammals

"Melatonin can suppress libido by inhibiting secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) from the anterior pituitary gland, especially in mammals that have a breeding season when daylight hours are long. The reproduction of long-day breeders is repressed by melatonin and the reproduction of short-day breeders is stimulated by melatonin. During the night, melatonin regulates leptin, lowering the levels;"

Atomexotine may help. Its used to treat symptoms of ADHD and it has some effects on libido.

I don't have any interest in scoring anything with anyone. My goal is to focus on my work and to revolutionize science by contributing with my research. Chasing after girls isn't worth my time.

That said, I believe piracetam and adrafinil have helped give me focus, the latter more so than the former.

You could probably do both but I digress.
