someonePsd Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I want to make my sexual desire disappear, because currently I don't need it and it is distracting. But, I don't want that to be irreversible, because maybe in the future I will need it, for example, maybe in the future I will want to marry. I want that if I wish, I can get my sexual desire back. So, is there any reversible way to make my sexual desire disappear? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
James121 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I'm not sure that there is. I believe the authorities use drugs to reduce the drive of some sex offenders but that may not be true. Why would you want to get rid of a sex drive anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Luftschlosseule Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Everything would be experimental and it may be that it's not reverseable. You could experiment with medication that has decreased libido as a side effect, but the first that springs to mind are psychopharmaca which would have so severe effects on your psyche that nobody would be willing to try that on you because you might develop a mental illness over this. The only other thing I can think of which might work is a ton of sports so that your body is too tired to have any interest in sex. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gisiebob Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 cracking your hand open with a hammer works for as long as the pain lasts. apologies for the non-serious answer but sometimes my personal beliefs about accepting and not lying about who we are to ourselves gets in the way.

luzblue Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 My opinion is you are asexual or you are not. Being asexual is not a choice. If you want to lower your libido you're going to have to talk to a doctor--and this doesn't have a lot to do with AVEN... If you feel you have an actual medical/psychological problem you should turn to groups like Sex Addicts Anonymous. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately that may even backfire. Sports = muscle breakdown and then growth = increased testosterone = higher sex drive. It's a nightmare! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am not asexual, since I have sexual desire. But, I want to get rid of it. So, I think that what I am enquiring about is related to asexuality. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Now I am not asexual, because now I have sexual desire, and I am not saying that I am asexual. I post my question here because I think that although I am not asexual, the question is related to asexuality, because "asexual" means "without sexual feelings or associations" (according to a dictionary), and I want to be "without sexual feelings or associations".

I want to get rid of a sex drive just because I do not like it. It is urging me to satisfy it, and thus is disturbing me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

According to Oxford Dictionary of English, "asexual" means "without sexual feelings or associations", and my question is about how to become "without sexual feelings or associations".

Nebulous Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 The issue with that definition is that it doesn't properly define asexuality. Asexuality has to do with attraction to other people in particular. If you're asexual, you don't feel sexual attraction to other people. You don't look at people and want to have sex with them. That's all asexuality entails. Lack of sexual "feelings" and "associations", on the other hand, doesn't adequately define asexuality. Asexual people can still experience sexual "feelings", just not towards other people (ie. some asexuals have a libido and experience arousal, but it isn't triggered by a particular person; it may happen out of thin air). Likewise, some asexuals have "associated" arousal with certain thoughts or concepts. Like CBC said, if you're basing your intentions off that definition, you're probably looking to reduce or remove your libido. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I always bring this point up as there are a lot of people who thinks that it is not a choice mean it can never change. People tend to follow either born this way and stay that way or it is a will.
