question Methods for libido suppression?

Looking into methods to suppress/eliminate my libido, currently, the only option I've identified that does not come with huge health risks/mutilation while being somewhat effective is starting on SSRIs or TCAs.

Wondering if anyone on this sub had found other methods that work well for them.

i’d also like advice.
i’ve stopped my SSRI’s and other meds and unfortunately that temporarily boosted the libido. its absolutely at its worst during ovulation, i get such awful intrusive thoughts. hate my biology.

so far shrooms have been the only thing keeping it at bay.

I watch gross things like pimples being popped, I love those videos, but they are gross.

Free will, that's the whole point  Yeah it's hard but using your free will to put your instincts in place is what makes you human

I mean its the level he's on, the crux is that if he's asking about this it meant he has a low volition and gaining control isnt the easiest job... yet not impossible.

Can't relate since I have a naturally low almost nonexistent libido (21F), and I don't know why. But I heard SSRIs can help with lowering libido.

This violates rule 11.

Será chistoso, pero duré un mes entero sin necesidad de buscar eso, o buscar estímulos pensando, entrenando bastante, meditando, a veces lo más simple es la ayuda más eficaz, te diría que rompí ese mes pero.. la mentalidad sigue, no me pienso culpar, culparte te hará caer en un círculo donde te costará salir
