Is Chasteberry the Natural Solution to Decreasing Sex Drive?

[phoenix:\\]

I have been sex free (masturbation, porn, etc...) for over 200 days now, but recently sexual thoughts have begun creeping into my head again.

I want to decrease my sex drive even more as I find it an annoyance. I have not taken anything thus far. I have been suppressing by sheer will power and now I just want to add in some medicine that may have an effect on that aspect of my life.

I know anti-depressants can lead to a decrease in sexual function as it increases serotonin levels, however, I am not depressed and would like more of a natural remedy if there are others out there that are actually backed by studies other than the one I am about to discuss.
The natural remedy I was reading about was Chasteberry. From the information I have gathered, this plant is primarily known to help women during their menstrual cycles, but it also has an effect on men that use it, it is said to cause a decrease in prolactin. Monks used it in the past from what I read on it.

I tried searching for scientific studies to back up the claim that it does, in fact, decrease prolactin but only found snippets of information backed by lack-luster research. Does anyone else have valid, scientific studies/information backed by credible research on Chasteberry?

In addition, for those who are in medicine: are there any medications other than anti-depressants that help decrease libido if I ever wanted to go the medicinal route rather than the natural?

Thank you in advance!

What about in your dreams?

Sex is the driving force behind almost everything we do. Suppressing your sex drive sounds like a good way to ruin your hormonal balance. If you find your sexual desires annoying maybe you should talk to someone and figure out why you feel this way; it isn't normal.

If that counts, then I haven't been totally sex free. I was more-so thinking about daily activities when I am awake and consciously alert. But from what I can count and remember, I've had less than 10 sex dreams during this period.

Monks are able to do it. And, as far as I can tell, this is as normal as you wanting sex. I see things differently than you do and I don't feel 'sex' is the force behind everything we do.

I wanted more help rather than being judged and insulted.

Please seek professional help. A psychiatrist, or a doctor.

There are a few drugs that does this, but like you said you don't want side effects, which is good. I think this might be more of a psych issue. Not too sure any natural herbal products that can do this. Although I hear meditation works for many

I think you think just treat this as a personal issue rather than a medical one.
