A high sex drive is a normal thing. It shows that your body is functioning normally. It's actually in the norm for a healthy male to be thinking of sex each and every time you see a good-looking lady (or man, depending on which way your door may swing) no matter where you are or what time of the day it happens to be.
Anyway, I'm not sure I'd want to *lower* my sex drive. If you're having other issues or your sex drive is 'making' you do other things throughout the day that might get you into trouble then you have other issues and lowering your sex drive isn't necessarily the answer to your problems.
Just the fact that someone may want to lower their sex drive sounds like there might be mental issues involved. I'd recommend a psychologist in either event.

Any info helpful.
Thanks, |
Why would any healthy adult male want to LOWER his sex drive? But, from what I understand excersize and work can reduce the amount of energy you spend searching for sex.

| Seriously, why do you want to lower it? Unmarried and want to abide by religious rules? Wife complaining? It's really kind of hard to give input when we can't understand the why. |

Actually, the more you exercise, without over-doing it, the higher your sex drive will be. When you workout, you're priming your body to be a testosterone machine, especially when you're eating a proper diet.

Google hasn't given me any great help so far except for this link. It approaches the issue from the opposite perspective (i.e. a person doesn't like that their sex drive is lacking, and looks to see what might be causing it) but it does have a bit of info related to drugs.
I think that probably, regardless of why a lower sex drive would be sought, talking to a doctor would be the best bet.

Either way I wouldn't mess with that man...if your sex drive goes down, there's something wrong, hormonally, and you don't want to screw with that. You'll be growing breasts and your voice will change. |
Not necessarly. I don't think there's a lot of accurate medical information that's really easy to find (as my search results indicated) and it could be very possible that a doctor would help lower the sex drive in a very safe way.

Well, that's the thing, it might depend on what your definition of "healthy" is. For example, I would argue that

isn't really all that healthy at all. Of course, that's a personal opinion and I think it has to do, somewhat, with how I was raised. I do know for a fact that it's very possible for a male to *not* be like that and have nothing "wrong" with him.

I do think that this idea has merit. I don't think that a psychologist would take the place of a medical doctor, but depending on the circumstances, may be a wise addition. |

I was going to suggest this if I didn't see it in the thread.
Another thing that works is having 3 kids, You certainly do not want to risk #4 and the first three pretty much wear you down to dust anyway.

Some anti-depressants lower libido, it's one of the more commonly-complained-about side-effects. I've heard of certain anti-depressants (particularly Paxil/Aropax) being prescribed in small doses for premature ejaculation, so who knows, maybe it's prescribed for lowering libido too? Of course, as with any other medical treatment, there are side-effects and other risks to be considered.
The best thing to do would be to speak to your doctor, they can give you much better advice than random people on a web forum.
As an aside, I was once on a medication that had the side-effect of greatly increasing my libido. That might sound like fun - but trust me, "hellish" is a better description, I was in tears begging my doctor to put me onto something else. If someone's libido is truly abnormally high, I can understand them wanting to reduce it.

I can understand wanting to reduce even a normal sex drive. Myself, I'd like to turn my libido off. The women in my life are making things more complicated than they need to be and causing me to lose sleep. There would be no problem if only I didn't want to kiss them. |
