When libido is a burden, some men turn to unproven treatments

[Pierce Manhammer]

Stigma shames men who want less sex, too

In search of a lower sex drive, many men seek sketchy supplements and groups rife with misinformation

‘men who want to lower their libido go so far as to put their testicles in ice water or punch their penis.’

Apparently just exercising self-control is out of fashion.

This model did not come equipped with that package

Seems to be a general failure in the product line.

Maybe cruise for a while instead of blasting for months in end?

But why though? Cause a guy with who has an avatar of another man thinking he looks like that at that age says so?

My comment was not directed at you, since you’re not complaining about your libido being high and wanting to lower it.

Solipsism is real (look up the meaning…bro).

And the rationale is that PEDs such as exogenous androgens do, in fact have an effect on libido.

As far as you trying to draw some sort of inference between my chosen avatar and me is at best puerile (you’ll most likely need to look that one up as well…bro)

peurile (you’ll most likely need to look that one up as well…bro)

and if you google that, write 'puerile'.

If you want less sexual temptation, you must fast and pray often.


It’s very easy to succumb to sex when you’re eating a five course steak meal 3 times a day.


Easy…..learn to fast bro.

Tbh I wouldn't mind lowering my libido a bit. It's so high it often gets in the way.

Not d*ck punching myself to do that tho

Would having someone else punch one’s pen!s have the same anti-libidenous effect? Asking for a friend.

I can always depend on you dude. It’s the thought that counts, they say. Had to add it to my keyboard lexicon because Apple didn’t have the foresight to add it.

Thanks.

Who the fvck would want a lower sex drive?

In all seriousness, a healthy way to lower your libido is fasting. Fasting, if done right, will lower your testosterone temporally while raising your HGH, among other health benefits.

The incessant wankers might.

Autocorrect also doesn't know the difference between depreciate and deprecate, but at least it knows weird isn't spelled wierd.

This doesn't sound right but I don't care enough to actually look myself

The lady who wrote that article is a ret@rd. There is no incentive to fund male libido research, so of course it's all underground and anecdotal, that's all it will ever be, there's never going to be "proven" until "experts" have a drug they can push. Calling it "misinformation" is typical leftist clown behavior, and shows a great lack of empathy to boot. That said, there is a drug that works, and it's called testosterone...

I've tried everything under the sun to raise my horrendously low libido for almost a decade and almost none of them did a damn thing. Almost every girl I've been with had a libido far beyond mine, in many cases they seemed like a nympho compared to me, so it's frustrating, and I can understand why men would try anything.

All that said......... in the majority of cases, the issue is low testosterone and excessive porn/masturbation, it's that simple.

I have been taking 400mg of test per week, only when I avoid porn/masturbation for 2-3 weeks does my libido start to approach "healthy" levels. I have had some odd days of what I might consider excessively high libido, and it's actually fascinating to see how women behave around me; though I think this can be explained by the fact that high libido is correlated with high dopamine which itself is correlated with high social functioning and confidence...it's all tied together.

Low dose daily cialis is also helpful, and has some other health benefits too boot (raising BDNF, and treating/preventing BPH). One other possible solution is RCs; melanotan II apparently is extremely effective for raising libido. Phenibut is also pretty good for libido too, but inconsistent in that regard.

I have the opposite problem awfully, libido is just enough to have sex when I like a girl but if I happened not to have sex for a month it wouldnt bother much.

I can easily perform but I dont feel such urge to put myself in uncomfortable or annoying situations to do so.

I guess my dopamine receptors are kinda fried in that field.
