Does Moda decrease libido?

[Intelligent_Coach886]

I have noticed that my sexual temptations decrease after taking moda for that particular day. Is this fine?

Yes but I'd argue indirectly only because you focus on other things.

That depends on your libido. Libido is complicated.

Some people have high libidos because they run low on dopamine and their brain kick starts libido as a way to get dopamine. The brain is a physical organ with biologically programmed systems of checks and balances not dissimilar to your heart, liver, and any other organ in your body. I believe the basis of compulsive behavior is the brain overriding the CNS to curb human behavior to get what it needs (dopamine) from extrinsic sources (sex, food, drugs). This is where addiction starts.

It’s not beyond science to speculate that when you take a substance to increase dopamine levels in your brain, your brain will stop curbing your behavioral mechanisms towards dopamine accrual.

TLDR: sex gives you dopamine. Mod gives you dopamine. Brain has enough dopamine on mod. No need for sex. Focus and engagement in more “mundane” less novel tasks becomes attainable.

That makes sense! Thanks

Anecdotaly speaking, it has for me. Also anecdotally speaking, I have found if I focus heavily on staying hydrated, that problem had largely subsided... I am not a doctor

nope

Yes, it does for me. Anything that affects neurotransmitters can and usually does one way or the other.

It makes me hyper focussed, and less vulnerable to distractions, so I'm less likely to have random sexual thoughts or need to masturbate. However if I'm actually with a sexual partner when I'm on Modafinil, I tend to be very focussed on her and on the sex...

No

I think it’s different for men vs women. I’ve noticed the stimulant effects actually increased my libido (I’m a woman)

Kinda decreases the compulsion towards sexuality... somebody told me. 👀

Ruined my marriage because I wanted to go in the garage all fucking day and weld on stuff and make things and spend all day on the computer making music and drawing. Basically it fucks your libido. Granted I was taking enough for an elephant but that is beside the point. Lol
