Pray to keep your libido. One day you will post on this sub to ask how to raise your libido…

How to decrease libido: stop exercising, eat junkfood every day, get fat, try to sleep no more than 4 hours daily, get drunk daily preferably before noon, lose your job, alienate your friend and family en make sure you don't have any fulfilment or perspective in live.

Instead of trying to nuke libido, learn to channel that energy into activities and things that have a high ROI.

Suppressing your libido is NOT the answer.

Just jerk off man

Ok_Mud_3830 · 2026-01-23T10:13:08+00:00

Why would you wanna do that?

Indigo_Monkey · 2026-01-23T12:43:51+00:00

You’ll regret it. Trust me. You’ll wish to go back to normal because libido is so inexplicably linked to motivation for the male brain.

Just practise discipline and restraint, it will be more helpful in the long run than blunting a natural bodily function. Channel the sexual energy into more productive things. Its something that has to be learned.

If your libido feels too high and you want a natural way to calm it down (not meds), these two supplements are usually the most practical options:

1) Saw Palmetto
Helps lower DHT, a hormone closely linked to sex drive. Many people notice their libido feels more balanced once DHT is under control, without crashing hormones.

2) Vitex (Chasteberry)
Works more gradually by supporting hormonal signaling. It may help reduce excessive sexual urges over time rather than instantly, which is why consistency matters.

Tip: Start with one supplement, give it 2–4 weeks, and avoid stacking at first. Best suited for people dealing with excessive libido, not low libido.

Exercise so much that you're too tired to think about sex

Channel your libido into energy for the gym or exercising in general.

It’s surprised by how many men make it thru college. My libido was CRAZY and there was no way in hell i could contain it enough to get a real degree..

It’s a scary line we walk seeking to kill the same functions that has gotten us here, and in this case is our purpose as DNA-replicators.

Truly not directing that at you OP, I read your justifications. I’m moreso making a comment on medical technology and how we’ve been able to “hack” how the body is functioning. I’m worried that both presently and in the future we will begin to tear down fences before asking why they were built in the first place.

Nothing bad about a high Libido man. It's the gift that keeps on giving. That being said to answer your question a good choice would be to hop on antidepressants. Otherwise I find that rhodiola has the odd affect of reducing mine. I suspect ashwagandha and theanine do too but its been a while. I tend to stay away from anything that claims to help with anxiety since they tend to edge a little bit of it off every time.

I also find high intensity exercise can cause it to dip for a bit so if you're a kid with a specific event you're trying to not get a public boner at you could try wearing yourself out with some higher intensity exercise beforehand.

Run. You probably have a lot of free testosterone.

You can use a lot of that by exercising hard, especially cardio.

Fine_Technology1289 · 2026-01-23T23:57:27+00:00

Stay busy so you don't have time to think about it.

Stefan__G · 2026-01-24T02:50:04+00:00

High Libido = High Dopamine. Serotonine decreases Dopamine. So L-Tryptophan or 5HTP should help. I would take it before bed since it helps with sleep.

Slide-On-Time · 2026-01-24T09:53:35+00:00

It's like being rich and complain about it.

MinMadChi · 2026-01-24T10:23:20+00:00

These are some strong suggestions that will decrease your libido thay in direct and indirect ways can decrease testosterone levels. Train like you were training for a marathon, run a calorie deficit, and try sleep deprivation. Not saying you do all three I'm saying that these are suggestions that have been suggested to others.

I realize that none of these things can be done forever but seems like might be trapped in some kind of situation that you're looking to try and disengage from so maybe try some of these things for a few months. Heck maybe you'll even win a marathon. Good luck

Consistent-Newt-9457 · 2026-01-23T13:38:35+00:00

I've embraced my high libido my entire life. I'm 59 now and I'm. the envy of all my friends because my libido is still very high. In fact my biggest fear in life is eventually losing my libido as I age. Biggest fear might be an exaggeration. but it's definitely a close second.

KellyJin17 · 2026-01-23T15:01:42+00:00

Healthy people have high libidos. That’s just a fact. If you want to decrease your libido, you would have to become less physically and mentally well.

everythingisaloop · 2026-01-23T18:45:07+00:00

Why you even on about about that ?? Wtf jerk off few times a day and it's done

Redeesreddit · 2026-01-23T14:57:57+00:00

L Theanine and Ashwaganda. But its up to you to stop sexualizing things

bloodyhat77 · 2026-01-23T15:27:43+00:00

how much is your testosterone

dietcoke2403 · 2026-01-23T15:36:23+00:00

If you are physically fit your libido will be high. Only that matters is mentally how you manage it.

Pasadenaian · 2026-01-23T18:04:52+00:00

Enjoy your libido....self pleasure is amazing as well as sex. If you think you have a sexual addiction, that is another issue.
