    Any healthy person should have a good strong sex drive. If you have an extra strong sex drive enjoy it, you must have a very happy partner. Congratulations!

    Develop other interests and hobbies! Get out into the world and learn about doing other things that you find interesting.

    You might also speak to a doctor, find out if your sex drive is actually higher than normal or not. Even if it's not, if it's bothering YOU then it's higher than YOU want it to be!

    Is is possible that you are associating sex with or in place of LOVE and acceptance?

    Many times we confuse having or wanting a lot of sex with being acceptable, loved, valued...and unfortunately it's not always a true or balanced reality!

    I am a woman and I have the same problem. I love my partner, but we have sex like 6 times a YEAR and only after i asked him and basically begged him to have some.He's 32, i'm 26. He never touch, or kiss my boobs, or my body at all, he kiss my lips only, and maybe my cheek. It wasn't like that always. it's just started to happen after like a half a year of our relationship. Anyway, I need sex, i am very sensiual and passionate person. I love touching, kissing and licking and have hot sex whenever, wherever. I want to have sex every day at least 3 times, i think about sex all the time. I have millions scenarios in my head just by looking at someone either a woman or a man. I am so tired with being constantly frustrated. I am also tired with constant conversations with my partner about it. i am trying not to thing about sex at all, not to touch myself, but it's just isn't possible. i really don't want to cheat on my partner, but i think i will have no choise. Its just really, really sad. i am desperate to get something to kill my sex drive.

    I dont know if a fat chick can reduce sex drive. Im 225 lbs and my husband is a health freak. WE ARE ALWAYS HAVING SEX. Man, everytime i turn and look at him he's horney and hard as a fvk. And get this .. he is 49 and Im 37 and i swear i cant keep up. You'd think that he takes viagra, one time he took a viagra it did not work on him. I asked him why he took it, he said just wanted to try it. I told him he is an ingredient in that damn pill. I even told him that i should be his pimp, he can make women happy and i can be rich or maybe go to a sperm bank and make about a million babies he said no to both. I love him but i wish the sex would stop. I feel bad for him cuz im not sexual. My husband is 5'11 180 lbs and beautiful, I dont know what the hell he sees in me, Im thinking it's my personality and how I stand by him.

    This is not advice, it is my personal story. This is all bad for anyone’s body, and I do not take any responsibility for anyone else’s actions.

    My wife lacks a sex drive, and only has sex with me on occasion as a favor. I have tried everything I can find to help increase her desire for sex, but reducing my sex drive seems to be the only thing that even shows a hint of working. Please note, this is all bad for anyone’s body. Basically I am sacrificing my health to reduce my sex drive. I love my wife, and don’t handle the sexual frustration well.

    Initially I found that not exercising, over eating, and consuming large amounts of chocolate and alcohol remove the edge. The thought process here is I am intentionally creating the scenario others with reduced sex drive want to fix. Also, the full stomach, chocolate and alcohol produce endorphins….like you would get from sex. Eventually my body will become fat enough I will no longer have a sex drive. I am also very likely to become diabetic.

    I have also experimented going the other way…meaning I don’t eat anything. Going this route, I found my sex drive and hunger canceling each other out, all though I do get a little weak and light headed.

    Again, this is not advice, it is my personal story. This is all bad for anyone’s body, and I do not take any responsibility for anyone else’s actions.

    I would also like to lower my sex drive. At 56 years it is very frustrating to be bothered with an unproductive sex drive. My wife had to have a hystorectomy 6 years ago, which left her with little or no sex drive. I have continually made sexual advances and nagged at her about the absense of sex in our marriage, at least on a weekly basis. The rejection always turns to anger, and the unwanted testosterone level is really a problem. I have considered trying medroxyprogesterone and even orchidectomy. Any natural remedies out there? Does salt peter really work?

    Most of your answers take this situation as a joke.
    However I can state that when you feel an overwhelming urge to masturbate or 6-8 times a day when alone and or have sex the same number of times with your lover and your still wanting more; it feels more like a drug like addiction rather than a "healthy sex drive".
    I have yet to meet a woman that enjoys getting screwed 8 times a day everyday. It may look great in a porno but the reality is that a woman's body is not designed for that kind of abuse.
    You can joke all you want but when it becomes as important as being able to breath; it becomes a real problem.

    I'm a 28 yr old women and I masterbate @ least three times a day, for a min of one hour up to five hours at a time. My partner is constantly saying no and I'm also at the point where I am ready to cheet. I feel rejected when he says no and it makes me want to do it even more so as I can feel better about myself. I know where your at, I have spoken to my doctor and he pretty much laughed at me when I asked to have my sex drive reduced. I was offered a male hormone, but the long list of side affects made me think twice about it. If you find something that works please let me know. this is starting to controll my life, and is bad for my self image.

    there's somthing new I find that works pretty good. proneuro9 from this website
    www.porn-no.com Its for pornography, but it works for the sex drive too. a wife that has no sex drive can eat licorice root powder and it will come back good.

    I have the same problem, I want to reduce my sex drive because I keep desiring sex but I'm too weak and ugly to be able to have sex with normal women that I like. I want to reduce my sex drive and stop thinking of women altogether.

    Man do I agree with the above response to mine. I see having an over burdeoning, constant want for sex to be or can be destructive. It literally takes up the majority of my time.I am after my wife all the time and am looking for anything in the category of sex from her at anytime day or night. I also see it as something that can be good. It generally means the overall health must be good. I am told by my wifes friends that they wish their men had half of what I have and ofcourse the others who offer to assist my wife in relieving me of some of it. My wife has literally gone to her mothers on weekends because I won't/can't keep my hands off her. I honestly do wonder in my case though if it is overactive sex drive period or my wife. I love her deeply and think she is the sexiest woman alive. she is perfect for my taste. I happen to love better than middle size breasts, thats her. I love shapely legs, she has them. I love a woman with hips that I can grab onto and guess what... anyhow, I am not necessarily looking for others although my eyes and brain wander, my poor wife gets the response. Prior to meeting her, I was fine. I take time out of my busy day to write her notes. These notes are either what I wish we were doing right then or what I want as soon as I get home and then what to wear to bed so I honestly know how to prepare myself for bed. Like, buttion don, or pull over or just sexy tiny , PJ's and of course the best, nothing which is what I expect after an extra long hard day so I don't have to waste time getting to that point.

    Sex drive is relational to sexual activity, in that the more you have sex or masturbate, the more your drive will be - it is self perpetuating.
    Being chaste myself, now for over 2 months, with no sex or masturbation- if you wish to reduce your sex drive without suppressing it unhealthily - do the following;-

    -guard the gates of the senses , no porn, gazing at the opposite sex
    -masturbate less, masturbation is mainly fantasizing, which fuels sexual craving / drive
    -meditate, be calm and content with your present experience.

    the main cause of a high sex drive in men is the fact that lots of women dress provocatively and everywhere you look there is half naked women in magazines and even newspapers available to young people who grow up with these images in there minds believing that it right to have these feelings for women,although a sex drive is essential for the continuation of life,the bottom line is we now view sex as fun more than a natural function.

    I have the same problem, but I am a woman married to a man with a very low sex drive. We have a good life and children so leaving to find a more compatible partner is not really an option. We have talked galore, but the bottom line is that he is happy with once a month whilst I want it once a day. A high sex drive is destructive, it distracts the thoughts and makes living a normal everyday life very difficult. I would love to take something to kill off my desire so I can enjoy my family life properly.

    Any ideas?

    One word or one line answers to this question are very unhelpful, I think. Those who suggest abstention by not looking at pornography are unfortunate enough to have been influenced by misguided philosophy just as those who suggest masturbation are guilty of not taking the issue seriously or chronic short term thinking.

    I don't believe the question is in itself misguided, but it is often difficult, particularly for men (speaking as a guy with a high sex drive myself) to empathise and understand why the question is being asked. I mean isn't sex great?! What retarded douchebag doesn't wanna fuck, for fuck's sake?! The problem is that this question is myopic: we are not all born physically or mentally equal. For whatever reason: genetically determined appearance, low metabolism, physical handicap or social retardedness some of us are either never going to have sex or feel left out because our sexual experiences and sexual partners will be less satisfying. Some may be attracted to people of another race or of a different nationality, the latter being unresponsive to the former. Others may have developed fallacious guilt complexes or lack self-confidence for psycho-social reasons and will not emerge from their cocoon to become sexually active until after they have reached their sexual and physical prime. This may leave them with feelings of intense regret. Others still suffer from clinical conditions such as erotomania, hyposexuality and persistent sexual arousal syndrome.

    This list is not exhaustive but in every case sexual desires that cannot be fulfilled can be oppressive and at best leave people in a position where they can be easily tormented or taken advantage of by those who are physically attractive. Even temporary relief would be very welcome for some.

    Excessive sexual desires can equally get in the way of the manifold and often equally as exciting activities that life has to offer. Human physical contact too need not necessarily be sexual and yet can provide the social warmth that many very lonely people need and crave. Others gain company in the form of pets.

    Therefore I strongly believe that in a progressive, free society that condones sex between consenting adults, people should equally not be denied the right to reduce their sexual drives if they so choose and where there is no economic reason why effective remedies may not be made widely available on the open market. People have spoken of antidepressants such as Effexor and of Medroxyprogesterone and of lowering the protein content of one's diet. I am not a pharmacologist, but I believe that where there are no side effects drugs should be made widely available to those who seek them.

    You might try meditating. It can increase your will power, and you might learn something about yourself to accomplish what you want. I am talking about sitting down and not moving at all execpt to breath for an hour. It's hard and you'll feel miserable during it. After wards everything feels great thogh. The problem here is that it takes will power to do. Thats the only thing I can think of.

    what is with people that only want to contradict someone's question with "how stupid of a question is that?" That's HARDLEY helpful. If someone doesn't want to deal with the heartache, STD's, unwanted children, etc, etc. Then I say let them. I'm certainly almost to that point myself. Sex drive may be healthy, but not when it's destroying your life. And few people are talking about taking it away totally and forever. Just to be able to manage it for those FEW of us that actually have morals and don't want to just get laid at some whore in a bar.

    Have you tried adjusting your diet? Tradtionally
    people who eat lots of meat and spicy foods are
    more sexually stimulated. Try a vegetarian diet, with
    a little fish or chicken only for a week and see if that helps.

    For...whatever reason would you do THAT?!

    Perhaps you should hold out for a mate or mates with equal interest in openess and saiety! It might be difficult but not impossible.

    I am of the mind that if you start fooling around chemically, you might break something, i.e., that if you start taking some kind of horemone (sp?) or something, perhaps you go too low and then can't get yourself back up to normal.
