I am a relatively physically healthy 25 year old, heterosexual male.


I have found that, over the last 5 years my libido has increased to an all time high for me and I find the idea of sex creeping into my consciousness sometimes up to 50 or even 70 times in any waking 12 hour period. Every time thoughts of sex enter my mind, I have to mentally fight my train of thought back onto what I was previously thinking about. Sometimes my mind deliberately finds double entendres where none exist. I have also started to see somewhat cliché symbolic sexual images in patterns and collections of objects etc, where, arguably, none exist.


Now all of this may sound quite normal (idk), but i'm used to having a relatively clear mind and being able to focus on complex tasks, or multiple simple tasks for extended periods of time and all this interruption is making my life more stressful and difficult as well as frustrating me quite a bit. Sexual desire, for me, is something that can’t easily be mentally compartmentalised and has the tendency to break out of it’s mental boundaries and force me to consciously battle it back into check. Admittedly, it only takes 2 or 3 seconds to do this, but it requires I devote the greater part of my conscious mind to the task to get it done quickly, hence the “system wide” interruption…

my partner's libido is, apparently, considerably less energetic than mine, which, although not perfect, is acceptable to me. What I cannot stand is the frequent interruption that my own (imo) over-active sex drive keeps frustrating me with.


I don't want to eliminate my sex drive, I just want to turn its "volume" down so that I can concentrate without being nagged by it all the time. I still want to be sexually active with my partner, so I don't want to turn it down too much, but it would be really good if I could reduce it by, say, 30-40% or so.


Thanks in advance for your help.
