Have you ever wished you could suppress your sex drive?

Post Reply New Topic

The idea that someone has to be successful in that makes me tired.

I consider myself to be an asexual person, mainly because I simply don't feel attraction for either gender, but also partially becasue I currently don't have the time, the energy, or the money to be concerned with romance of any sort, especially sex.

However, I believe I'm mildy Erotophobic as well, so to answer your question, yes, I have wished I could suppress my sex drive, and through will power I have done so. Basically it's a situation of mind over matter. If you have the drive, and the mental fortitude, it shouldn't be TOO much of a problem.

Stop compelling me to repeat that same stupid story about what I did with the dumbell! Arrrggghhh!! If you seriously want to try castration, ask a doctor about trying castrator drugs. I wish I had, and so does the lower half of my body.

Of course I wish I could shut off my libido until I actually needed it! And not just because I'll always suffer from machine envy. I'm terrible at getting to know anyone, and cannot percieve or make emotional connections, so if I ever did start a sexual relationship with a woman, I'd just be using her for sex or forcing myself to believe I was in love with her for the sake of going through the motions of what I've heard a relationship is supposed to be. Well, since most of us would agree that it's wrong to use someone like that, what's the point of having a sex drive if that's all it compells you to do?

Being interested exclusively in what appeals to me also pretty much prevents me from being able to plan a date. I really don't know how to go out and "have a good time" by myself (I relish hunting for some rare book, movie, or Transformer, but that's about it) so in a society where men are expected to instigate everything, I'm pretty much guaranteed to take my virginity to the grave.

For that matter, it would be a hell of a lot easier getting to know a woman if I didn't have this stupid urge compelling me to look for the first opportunity to get her into bed, so staying on castrators until I meet someone, immediately going off them, and dragging out courtship or whatever for the month or however long it takes for them to wear off actually sounds like a convenient system to me. I haven't done my homework on chemical castration, but going out and getting that would be far easier than making a human connection, so why do so many people cringe at the idea of just shutting it off?

I agree. You should have heard this one counselor that I was seeing. Due to health problems, I often go long stretches with no libido at all! That is actually a relief. But when I told this counselor that having a sexual relationship wasn't a priority, (We were goal setting,) she acted as if I'd said that I was planning to stop living. She was very dismayed that I didn't want to go shopping for a sexual partner. As if it were that easy, anyway. I soon stopped seeing her.

Dunwich, the inability to make an emotional connection may have nothing to do with you. I swear, there are a lot of NT people I have met who don't seem to have real human emotion.

God damn, I would LOVE to completely suppress my sexual thoughts.
Being a pedophile has made my life completely miserable, sometimes I wish I was just asexual and not attracted to anyone. I think that would be even better than being normal.
I am horny way too much and constantly thinking sexual thoughts, day and night, about girls half my age or younger (I'm 18 ), and I cant do anything about it besides jerk off every day. I would do anything to get rid of those thoughts.
Is there like, an opposite of viagra?

Your opinion, with regard to males, is generally WRONG!

My libido is almost like my AS, At times, it gives me trouble and I would like to turn it off. But I guess I wouldn't want to turn it off forever.

As for my libido, I worked to get a lot of control over at least physical reactions, and it is far less likely to happen suddenly in a bad situation. But I still enjoy even SEEING women. It is almost like an opiate. You may never let it go past a certain point, and hate some effects, but it is still adicting and nice. It is odd. But if I see a woman that is REALLY pretty or that seems to fit everything else and is kind of plain, I just wish I could switch to NT. I wish I could throw the reason and respect away, and understand all the subtleties of flirting. There is probably a woman out there, maybe even one that met me, that is worse off for not seeing me as a definite candidate! Heck, I would see it as a win/win!

Sometimes I wish I could chill mine out a little. Just turn it down a bit. I begin to feel like an annoyance with how much I'm after the hubby

I didn't have to wish for it because I already have a suppressed sex drive. It doesn't trouble me that people might reject me, but I never asked for love to begin with. I know it causes trouble, and cannot be easily controlled; it causes people to think irrationally. So I've always ignored it from the beginning. Love cannot hurt me, so long as I do not feel it. I still personally believe that my strong self-awareness allows me not to feel it, though some people disagree, and think that I haven't found my "significant other". I believe he/she does not exist.

I am coming to that conclusion, as well. Besides, I am too strong willed for most men.

I was only thinking about this yesterday! Have come to the conclusion that I am actually more interested in the thought of physical sex (no boundaries) than with the reality. It is the intimacy that I really want but I find it hard to get that over to, even my long-life, partners that this may not be "normal".

Find that the more i practice the dharma way (Buddhist alert) the less I want physical relations but the more I feel close to people.

Peace (and Love)

I'm a bit sex obsessed, I've got to admit but it probably wouldn't help to suppress it. For one thing, it would cut out about 75% of my conversation.

Zoloft is doing it for me already.

I'm not trying to be judgmental or anything, but if you are a pedophile you might want to see a professional to discuss it. It sounds like it's causing you a lot of frustration.

this must be in the adult section .

anyways ....you can still pull off your balls.
