(NSFW) How can I keep my drive under control?

Asked by anonman (99points) October 4th, 2011

Yes, I am back with more strange things that I want to keep secret from “the real world” so to speak.

Recently I lost a lot of body fat, I gained some muscle, quit smoking tobacco and cannabis, and generally spend more time outside. I don’t know if that is relevant information or not, but since the changes I have been getting hornier and hornier.

I have always had a very high sex drive, but after my teens it all started to calm down a bit and settled for a while at what I would call normal. However now it seems to be going in reverse.

I spend most of my day looking at girls walking around in bikinis, I watch porn on my lunch break, when I get home, and I find my self thinking “gee, I sure do feel like having a jerk” right after I just finished doing so, hell… I’m here asking this question specifically so I don’t have time to try and rub one out before going back to work later.

I don’t know if there is anything I can do about it. If my information is correct I can either take chemicals or just put up with it, but it can’t hurt to ask.

How can I keep my urges in check?

We are not talking about being faithful or anything here, I can resist the urge to go chase these girls by deciding so, but its still tough to deal with anyway, it’s very distracting.

I’d just go with it. It’s a good, little stress reliever, you know? :)

I was like that all my life. Still am, in fact. For years it annoyed me because I was never satisfied. Things have changed a bit, but I am still like that. I don’t really want to mess with it. Perhaps it will go sooner or later (I am 55). But I doubt if my desire will ever go.

It probably has to do with testosterone levels. I believe marijuana can reduce testosterone, and reduced fat can eliminate some estrogen, I think. Live with it. Enjoy it, if you can.

Since you’re asking if you have to “just put up with it”, I wonder whether this is becoming disruptive to your daily life. If so, you may want to speak to a trained counselor.

OTOH, if your habits don’t interfere with your ability to be productive at home and work, then don’t worry about it. Exercise has been known to increase a person’s libido. Your body will probably adjust to the changes over time and your drive will eventually decrease.
