How about an SSRI? That should do the trick for lowering libido while making you artificially content with your new non-sexual lifestyle. It might make you a little apathetic and emotionally "blah" but you can't have everything.

This is more of an individual thing, may work for you, may not.
None of these are intended for long term. I don't know if there is any truly healthy way to do it.

You definitely don't want to mess around with anything hormonally to kill your sex drive, even though that would be very effective.

I used to take Paxil and it totally killed my libido. Though, as you stated it also made me emotionally devoid, and I hate that feeling.

High dose sesamin, 6-OXO, ATD, low cal/carb dieting, posters of babies....

LOL posters of babies...it beats my suggestion of eating saltpeter [wis]
SSRIs might be a good avenue to try, I echo. I have to bring up meditation again...

Definitely. They may actually increase your libido.

antiandrogen drug, in low doses.
Cyproterone typically comes in 50 mg tabs. Try cutting into
a quarter to get 12.5 mg, and take every two days for a few
weeks and see how it goes. Occasionally I take half a tab
(25 mg) every two days for a couple of weeks to reduce oiliness
(seborrhea) on my face. Libido is definitely suppressed at this
dosage.
At higher dosages, cyproterone is used, typically in combination
with an SSRI like fluvoxamine, to treat sexual deviations like
exhibitionism, etc.
It has also been used at very high dosages to treat prostate
cancer, though it has largely been superseded by newer
drugs such as flutamide and bicalutamide.
The DHT blocker finasteride (Propecia) is also known to
suppress libido.
Beta blockers are well-known to cause impotency side effects,
so if you can't really get an erection, this may well help your
problem indirectly. Possibly try a very low dose of the newer
beta-1 selective blocker bisoprolol, such as 1.25 mg (quarter of
a 5 mg tab) every two days.

It's not healthy though, walking around like a monk. And most of the suggestions outlined come with unpleasant side-effects, I would not recommend it, - instead focus in cultivating yourself (masturbating only once or twice a week or so) with the help from food and supplements.
GENERAL NOTE: It's very hard to break an addiction when it's becoming a habit one uses to deal with life in general so supplements *are* a great help in addition to whatever mind-programming one works with; - if you do have a severe neurochemical or hormonal deficiency it's very hard (if not impossible) to meet ones goals when facing the wall all the time.
Take a serotonin precursor like 5-HTP from (50-100mg) with a vitamin B complex in the evening, 1 hour before bed.
Also consider a magnesium and a calcium supplement along with a potent multi-vitamin/mineral. Take fish oil (2-4G daily) and borage oil (1-2G) with your meals.
You should *really* exercise your body, - this is IMO really underrated in treating any imbalances, - especially in this context, - you should after a while experience the "natural high" depending on your serotonin -> endorphins production in relation to your cardio exercise. You will need to calm down your adrenals.

But it is a personal choice.
Also, consider *HOW* an SSRI acts on your system to shut down your sexual desire. OMG not pretty.
EDIT: Opt for another serotonin precursor to adress the problem properly if not satisfied with the safety vs risk of 5-HTP.

I would not valide the choice of an SSRI based on a risk that has never been proven, - the SSRIs have numerous side-effects and they are very real.
But it is a personal choice.

EDIT: Opt for another serotonin precursor to adress the problem properly if not satisfied with the safety vs risk of 5-HTP.
The main difference between SSRIs (especially the ones that are most selective for serotonin) and 5-HTP is that SSRIs jack up serotonin only in the brain, whereas 5-HTP jacks it up everywhere. SSRIs have more documented side-effects, caused (among many things) by much more numerous and extensive trials, much more widespread use, functioning reporting system for side-effects, and prescription status. Not being able to see the problem really does not make it go away.
Also, as the mechanism in the brain is similar, they should and do for that part have similar side-effects, including sexual dysfunction. 5-HTP IMO just carries additional risks due to the systemic increase in serotonin, some of which could be deadly.

Of course I negate to be MJ or any other person besides myself
And I'm not affiliated to any supplement company.
Its funny how the body reacts to hormonal changes (an aromatase inhibitor DOES cause hormonal changes in your body). I have used both ATD, 6OXO, and other stuff too... the eventuale effects on libido are dependant on your pre-existant hormonal profile, the statistics says like 80% decrease and 20% increase for ATD, but take it with a grain of salt.

Googling "SSRI" and "side-effects" show more than I would like to know. Please stay away from them.

Why would you want to avoid ejaculation? You're gonna up your risk of prostate cancer.

I've heard that regular old-fashioned black licorice has some of this effect. Although this didn't come from a scientific source it certainly seems like one of the easiest ones to test out. You may have to hunt around to find "real" licorice however.

That's an excellent point, and I wished I had remembered it. True licorice, Glycyrrhiza glabra root should be available in any herbal store in any major city centre. unless I'm just spoiled, and can be ground into a tea, or you could try capping some supplements. I would say get a tea ball (if you don't have one already) and enjoy it. Some commercially available teas are available.

Try to put yourself into positions where it would be difficult to indulge the urge. Maybe install a family cam that anyone with the right user/pass can access via the web, then they might wonder what you're doing when it's not working.

i've found StimX/AMP (pre-workout stims)
I'd prefer not to mess with that stuff just to decrease libido. I would probably get irritable as hell if I took that stuff everyday.
I'm not sure that 5-HTP would actually be of any help here -- plus, I avoid it for its potential heart valve damage.

What about just carrying some pictures of Hillery Clinton around in your pocket. Whenever you the urge just take one out and look at it.
