How to get rid or lower ones libido?

[vampire1753]

Im going to try raising my seratonin levels to lower libido and I've been eating popcorn, the bag kind due to the bags have a chemical that when microwaved leak into the popcorn that lower libido. Im doing a few other things too. Any other ideas? I know the popcorn also itself helps too with whats in popcorn. Im going to stop this!

[btbc92]

It doesn't necessarily work that way, especially if you are sexually active and or dabbled with porn and masturbate. The best thing you can do like all of us with self-control is practicing just that: self-DISCIPLINE and self-CONTROL. If your hormones are irregular, you may need to go to a doctor so they can figure out what is going on. Never heard of popcorn doing that, and I safely say it probably doesn't work. It is your genetics. Learn self-control and try to stay away from any overstimulation.

[vampire1753]

I dont look at porn. I did the popcorn thing for a year or so everyday and it works.

[btbc92]

I'm pretty sure it is not the popcorn. You are still aging and maturing, and therefore it will not always be the same year to year. Just stay healthy and be healthy-minded, and you may not have many problems.

[vampire1753]

Do you know what asexual or sexual dysphoria means? They are similar to each other.

[btbc92]

There is no such thing as asexual people or that nonsense. We are BORN SEXUAL. Period. To have sex or not is a choice. Anybody who uses those terms to shame others who don't have a personal desire to have sex are people who are sexually insecure about themselves. Something tells me that you are not a healthy-minded let alone a mentally minded individual to assume and think that about people. Libido doesn't make a person. There is a reason you have a libido, and that is to find a marriage partner, procreate and enjoy sex if that is personally of your desire. If not, nobody, except God, has the right to judge. It is personally nobody else's business except God's, yours, and who you desire to be with. That's it. Those who struggle, struggle. But it is asexuality. Unless you're literally born with NO libido at all which is RARE. These are just people who lack a healthy view of sex and they dealt with some form of abuse, sometimes sexual exposure as children which is highly perverse. Anybody in their right mind would be scared of unhealthy sex which is not what God intended sex to be. Sex should be an expression of love that is also enjoyable between husband and wife, a man and a woman who is legally married and desires to share family life with. Sex is not for everybody, because sex is a marriage and marriage is all about having sex. There is nothing more harmful than trying to destroy something that can interfere with other parts of your body which is part of life. Maybe you struggled harder than others. But instead of trying to do what you do to your own body, maybe ask God for help. If he is willing to take that away it is for his own purposes. If it's only getting stronger, perhaps you are running from marriage to have sex with a person who your meant to be with and now your having problems with control.

[vampire1753]

Actually it's true. I have no interest to have sex with anyone. No dissire.

[btbc92]

I understand that maybe you scared or had as many hardships as I have. But trust me when I say, I tried, I prayed. It was not taken away. I don't necessarily expect it to be, but to develop a healthy way to deal with it is better than to risk not having anything and it may cause potential health problems. Unlike me as a woman who may have that luxury which increases my risk of further health problems. It may get worse as you age anyway because you're a man. Therefore as a man that is just who YOU ARE. That's why I said it may not be the popcorn. But that you may be doing other things that year such as being heavily depressed, stress, etc which can cause a significant amount of issues with your libido but it is AT the EXPENSE of your health. While popcorn is healthy, the goal is to have it in moderation. Too much can cause problems.

[btbc92]

That may be your PERSONAL desire. But it has 0 to do with your libido. Either you have health problems are you doing things that make it appear like you have none when you do. It sneaks up when you less expect it. You can try to force yourself to believe it and it may work. But the reality is you do have a libido. Just that as we age things can change. Everybody is not the same.

[btbc92]

I don't know why you feel the need to try to convince us that you do or don't. It is not our business and nobody is going to really care. You said how to get rid of or lower one's libido. That means you DO have the desire. But you have no personal desire to have sex. That is a personal choice to be celibate. You don't need to mess up your libido because of it. Your just wasting your time. Learn proper self-discipline and control and your libido may be more manageable.

[btbc92]

Serotonin is a calming effect produced by the brain. I just learn all of this in a Psychology class. I am certain that it said nothing about the connection of serotonin and libido especially in the chapter on Sex and Gender. So by that logic. I am certain the popcorn did zip. You were very depressed that year, and because of that depressed you felt sexually deprived because you never expeienced sex. bECAUSE OF THAT, you having popcorn help elevate that because teh problem have 0 to do with the popcorn, sertonin, libido or even the DEPRESSION. IT is YOU upset younever had a chance to exprience sex because deep down you want sex, and is scared to admit it, and because you feel unhappy about it it made you depressed, in turn, you equated your depression with your libido, so in turn to get rid of your depression, thinking you getting rid of your libido, you subconsciously got popcorn which helps with depression as lack of serotonin puts you at risk of depression. It soothed it and in turn, helped a bit with your libido. However, your libido is there. You're just depressed. That's all. Your libido is low-normal I like to call it. It may only get more active if you start becoming sexually active at the most, which I do not recommend you do unless you are married to somebody who you love and actually wants to love you equally.

[vampire1753]

You really do not understand.

[btbc92]

Buddy, let me ask you something. What is the purpose of all of this? Why do we need to be convinced of your personal sexual urges or none? It is your business. It is not ours. I already told you what it is. yOU Believe whatever you want. It's your business.

[vampire1753]

Anyone saying Im deprived of sex as the reason is ignorant.

[vampire1753]

read up on 5-htp. Im using it soon.

[btbc92]

Do what you want. You are that interested, go to a doctor. Not here on GaG.

[vampire1753]

I can talk on here or anywhere I want.

[SueShe]

Let me give you the same answer as I gave you on your other question of 2 days ago. My reply has not changed.

Just copy/paste what I said and apply it to your question.

What are some way to lower or destroy ones libido?

[vampire1753]

Im going to destroy my libido. Nearly 2 to 3 weeks ago, it was dead. Spiked up horribly. It was a gradual death of libido. Im returning to that. When it's down, Im much happier mentally and in other ways too.

[SueShe]

You are good as long as you don't ruin your health doing that. You have to be cautious how you suppress your libido.

You cannot kill it but only reduce it or suppress it.

If you stop what you are doing to reduce/suppress it, it will unfortunately return progressively unless you take some prescription medication. However, I would not recommend to go that way.

Good luck and hope you are successful.

[vampire1753]

Im starting 5-htp soon. That should help too.

Any diet that lowers your libido only does so because it’s unhealthy and negatively affects your hormonal system, which will cause other health issues.

[vampire1753]

Why would one not want to lower it?

[Opinion Owner]

Why would one want to eat a diet that only lowers your libido because it’s terrible for your health?

[vampire1753]

When my libido was nearly dead, my mental self was much happier.

[amaguqe]

Why the fuck would you want to mess up with your hormones and libido?

[vampire1753]

Because I find it disgusting.

[amaguqe]

@vampire1735 you are insane
