Or better yet act on your impulses just don't hurt anyone in the process.

Enjoy your sexuality. Don't fear it.

You posted it! I'm just playing along...not endorsing, only pointing out the utility. Women have been advised on their low drives ad nauseum... This seemed like a refreshing alternative! You do what works for you!

It’s called “masturbation”, hon.

The article doesn't reference any sources that track this supposed increase in men using anaphrodisiacs. It doesn't interview any men who are taking an anaphrodisiac, and it assumes the use would be due to sexual frustration. Maybe these men want to lower their sex drive because it distracts them from other things they want to prioritize.

For years I prayed for a lower libido.

At 56, they found I had aggressive prostate cancer, and I had it removed along with the 'nerve bundle'.

At 59 the cancer returned. I went onto chemical castration drugs and I went through 45 radiation treatments.

I am now 61, this Spring I came off of the chemical castration meds, my Testosterone is slowly returning. We don't know yet if my cancer is gone. The local cancer center sits empty and idle as the pandemic remains on center stage.

I can report that going through two years without any Testosterone was an interesting experience.

The hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings were very annoying. In the middle of it, I was crying at everything.

I have put on a lot of weight, I have very little energy, and I have been experiencing Alzheimer's-like side effects [this is an anticipated side effect of the drugs].

On the other hand, I have always carried a lot of anger within me. Much of my effort as an adult has been spent on controlling my anger and when I 'rage' on others. But when my Testosterone disappeared so did all of my anger. For the past two years my anger has been completely gone.

I would recommend that all men who have anger issues, should be allowed to turn off their Testosterone for a year or two, just so they can experience what life is like without the anger.

As for my libido, mine is now on par with that of my wife. We fight a lot less now.

Agree. And there are so many other ways such as playing with a sex doll, poking into any slippery holes like putting vaseline on the rim of a bottle or whatever holes they can find. LOL.

Sigh... honestly, sometimes I think why "God" made men and women with penis and vagina, and they poop too many body beings to this world and create sooooo many problems. WTF, really. Why can't people keep their brain in their head instead of between their legs.

Maybe I'm not "normal", or I'm "different". LOL

Hmmm, If it was the European sparkling water and bread I had while I lived in Europe, I'd say it's 99% doable with a near level of bliss... Add good French butter, and it's 100%... Better than sex... Well, close.

First, I only saw one side effect listed. If you are talking about the side effects of SSRI medications that it mentioned, that is different (although I only saw it mention the libido lowering effect of those medications).

Second, your solution seems to be for women to just acquiesce to whatever her partner's sex drive is. Why not make it the other way around? Maybe the woman is herself taking an SSRI for depression or other medication which lower sex drive. Also, after menopause, women have no biological need for sex, and our bodies naturally adapt to that. It can make sex unenjoyable and even painful. There are a million reasons why a woman may not have the same sex drive as her partner (and vice versa). But basically just dismissing those reasons and saying, "Just get over it and give in," is pretty gosh darn inconsiderate...and maybe part of the attitude contributing to why a woman wouldn't want to be intimate as much.

Yeah, IDK why butter in Western Europe is so much better than in the US, but I"m glad we can now get it at the grocery stores close to home.

Even better with cheese and cucumber, though, if you ask me.
