Reading the thread about having your balls ripped off, works for me.

saltpeter... totally

A friend found out that when he was attending a Catholic bording school they used to put saltpeter in the mashed potatoes...

The other thing that works is age. The older I get the more the libido wanes... of course this may be a longer period of time than you are willing to wait.

Mother-in-law walking in on us. We abstained for a week after that one. Yikes.

Stress, depression, and other mental problems can decrease libido. Childbirth and breastfeeding may lead to vaginal discomfort and a decrease in estrogen levels. This may lead to vaginal dryness, making sexual intercourse painful.

If birth control killed her libido, get her to switch. That is actually a common side effect of many medications. There are tons of variations of the pill she can try, and a few won't have that effect on her.

No kidding. I think the pills or patch really don't do anything. I think its just that they don't have sex so there is no way for them to get pregnant! (ok, i don't really think that..but...yeah, I'm trying to hard here )

I've tried....she got some other kind...but she keeps forgetting to take that pill and the patch was so much easier for her, so she went back to it. It is the most frustrating thing ever. I don't want to nag her about it, cause she just ends up feeling bad, which makes me feel terrible...and then things are good (meaning sexual activity wise) for about 2 or 3 weeks and then back to this new normal again. Its a viscous cycle that will never end.
Sorry for thread jacking, carry on.

Given that I've had sex before and find the experience thoroughly enjoyable, I would not want to be plagued with constant horniness while I'm trying to work on my master's degree and my PhD. And finally, women seem to have some innate means to sense when a guy is starved of sex and female attention---and this turns them off. Given that I'll most likely be single for the next seven years after I graduate from college and start my grad studies, I would want to shut my sex drive off so that I can pour my energy into something more productive.

wow... me and my husband went through that for a while, but i ended up being happier getting off the pill than trying different brands...
if you can't talk to each other openly about sex, you probably should be rethinking your relationship now before you end up 45, married, and seriously thinking of getting a mistress because your sex life sucks so bad.

why are you doing something that you're expecting to be so god awfully terrible? won't you just end up with a self-fufilling prophecy? WHY would you want to go through "hell" for that long? the money won't be worth it, that's for sure.

don't postpone joy, i say. that way you won't have to deny the wonderful body that you started out with while slaving away at something unenjoyable. i say the ends wouldn't justify the means at alll

I too don't understand in what context the question is being ask. Did you want to decrease your (or her) libido? Or has it decreased and you're wondering why?

All of things above can decrease libido. Self-image, hormones, weight gain or loss, illness or stress and any number of medications. If you want to know, ask.

If you're looking to decrease your libido, I'd have to ask why? Is it because you don't want to masturbate while having active sex with a partner? It's very rare for two people to have exactly the same sex drive and need sex exactly the same amount. It's perfectly normal for one or both partners to masturbate while in a relationship, even daily. So long as it's not interfering with the actual sex life, it's not really an issue. Or is there some other reason?

Really, the most effective means of taking care of your libido is to just take care of it. I have not yet in my life met someone who is so busy that they can't take 20 minutes out of their day and I know some extremely busy people. What better reason for a 20 minute study break than your own sanity by way of jerkin the gherkin? It relieves stress, helps you relax, feels good, gets your mind off of your problems briefly, feels good, takes care of your desires (instead of just suppressing them) and feels really good. Don't you owe it to yourself?

I totally agree... don't postpone joy. I am having a hard time with that right now, seeing as I am in the middle of my PhD and far away from my love. My sex drive is pretty high, but even moreso my emotional drive to be with my ktspktsp .. Don's right, grad school is really rough on the psyche, but it's no reason to be celibate/single/eat saltpeter. I take all the tiny joys I can get, and try to let them sustain me through the darkness.

/dunno how this fits the thread, but that's what came out of me!

Salt peter really doesn't work, except it will make you sick which will probably reduce libido. http://www.snopes.com/military/saltpetr.htm
You might want to check with a doctor about ways to reduce it rather then home remedies. You might want to talk to a psychiatrist about why you want to reduce your libido..just something screwey like that.

Of course the suggestion of birth control works wonders if you are a girl. I spend $25 a month so I don't have sex with my fiance. Like someone said earlier in the thread, the stuff may not even work because I never get a chance to try it out. Sorry for thread jacking like everyone else

Don hit it - I just want to be able to control it better, as close to a switch as possible, without having to actually have sex or masturbate. It's a hassle sometimes. Plus, I think like an engineer and, ideally, want a switch or something.

Thanks for all the advice. Interestingly, I was invited to a conference in Thailand and, for each of the four nights, found very easy ways to satisfy my libido, but that did nothing but increase it...

Try having kids. Nothing like an infant's schedule to tire you out of any desire.

Another method: movies: watch something like Tears of the Sun with Bruce Willis (it was on last night) and see if that doesn't kill the mood. Once (long ago) I took a girl to see David Cronenberg's Shivers, and that was the last date we ever went on.

Hmm I find my sex drive increased post-birth considerably. I mean I've always had very strong urges, but post baby, man...Sometimes it sucks to have the urges, especially since I have them so frequently..

Hmm movie theaters increase the urge for me though.

Zoloft and the pure SSRI antidepressants - even in small doses. Effexor less so, this is a slightly different type of drug.

However - these (SSRIs) are thought to reduce other pleasurable emotions also, and that is my personal experience. With the exception perhaps of anger.

I was thinking to myself.... saltpeter, isn't that potassium nitrate?

a quick search on wiki turned this up:
Quote:
A popular misconception is that potassium nitrate is an antaphrodisiac and was added to food in all-male institutions. In fact potassium nitrate has no such effect in humans. [1]
and then on "antaphrodisiac"
Quote:
Certain medications' side effects may be antaphroditic in nature, however, there are no substances that have safe antaphroditic effects without major side-effects.
I can't think of any, myself. Cognitive training I guess.
