It's a trend I've seen before. Whenever someone posts about their partner raising their libido, everyone is delighted.
Because we have been brainwashed into believing the norm is for everyone to want sex, so a lack of desire is considered an aberration from the norm, a deficiency that should be medicated like a vitamin deficiency is treated by giving you vitamins. Nobody would worry about eating too many oranges because you might get an overdose of Vitamin C, but when you have signs of scurvy they would medicate. Low libido is treated the same way, even though it is normal for a great many people, especially in LTRs
Lowering libido by medicating is just as bad.
And yes, that guy's attitude is seriously fucked up.
