    Find a hobby. Hit the gym. Stay away from porn. Masturbate. If you’re in a relationship, talk to your SO. Don’t expect them to be your sex doll.

    Porn addiction causes this the more you use it. When you develop your emotional side more, heal trauma and stop watching porn it isn’t as intense. Much like food addiction. The more you focus on eating healthier, fix any deficiencies you have, you’re not as hungry or wanting to binge eat. I have been through both addictions and healed them.

    Masterbate but use an actual toy.

    Handjobbing yourself is going to just lead to death grip and regrets.

    Buy a pocket pussy. Fuck it or jerk off with that. No only does it feel amazing but you won’t get deathgrip or get invasive thoughts about missing what a girl feels like.

    •cold showers
    •if cold showers are unavailable, you can put ice packs under your eyes, or keep spoons in the freezer and put them under your eyes
    •vigorous exercise (may help or make it worse, but it’s worth trying)
    •super spicy food
    •call a friend/get into heated discourse online
    •watch a suspenseful show or movie
    •try getting yourself into an opposite habit. For example, whenever the urge is bad, start cooking an elaborate meal, play a game, or something that will take focus and energy

    These are things I’ve found that have helped me, but everyone is different. basically anything that will take mental focus and physical energy should help. If it becomes a major problem it’s worth looking into SLAA/SAA or other addiction resources. It’s not a bad thing to have a high drive, but it’s understandable that it can be overwhelming. I wish you the best.

    Get busy with something productive. It helps me think more from my mind and less from the dick. LoL.
    And it’s a great emancipation for men kind, i feel one of men’s weakness and key to control them is this.

    Make it your identity that you are not a horny lustful person with no self control and take pride in it. Live through that identity.
    But you can’t run from horniness but can have it in moderation.

    When you see a women’s butt as sexy and looking good, that’s a very normal reaction but as something to pleasure yourself only or like an object then, you need moderation.
    .
    Other would be work out or do sports.

    Arousal starts in the hypothalamus and the limbic system. One of the best ways to regulate these brain centers is through stimulation of the parasympathetic nervous system. This is very easy to do.

    Standing or sitting, let your feet start to relax into the ground. Let your groin muscles and hip flexors relax. Relax your sternum, shoulders, traps, rhomboids, lats etc. extend your neck upwards a bit and balance your hips over your feet, shoulders over hips, ears over shoulders. Then fully relax your body above your diaphragm. Let your chest sink in. And notice this pushing air out of your lungs. Relax into it until your lungs are completely empty.

    Now, here’s the tricky part if you’ve never done it before. Breathe in by dropping your diaphragm downward. If you breathe by expanding in the chest this could take some practice. You are trying to breathe by letting everything below your diaphragm expand. The expansion of your lungs should translate into an expansion all the way around your stomach sides and lower back. Let the chest and upper back rest. Take 10 breaths this way. Each breath expanding deeper and lower. Then just allow the mind to rest. Just be for a moment.

    Best wishes.

    Sexting with a friend, it helped me out. I write away all my fantasies to her. We chat back and forth, I don’t jerk off as I’m busy convetting my horniness into a steamy story. I get my high off it. It’s like edging and orgasming without an actual release. It’s hot and satisfying for me.

    Assuming you’re male, there are 3 classes of medication for this: GnRH antagonists, anti-androgens, and SSRIs. GnRH antagonists are the strongest, close to surgical castration. They stop the production of testosterone but are taken as injections and have nasty side effects so are generally used for prostate cancer. Anti-androgens block the effects of testosterone and are still pretty effective with wider use. SSRIs are antidepressants with relatively weak or unreliable affects on libido. They are better physically tolerated though they can affect sexual function.

    Right now I’m on high-dose bicalutamide and paroxetine (an anti-androgen and an SSRI) for this very purpose, and I used to be on cyproterone acetate. I’d be happy to answer any questions I can, though I’d only recommend this after other measures have failed.

    200 mg of zoloft. Ain’t felt a thing in ages

  42. purgatoriololo Avatar

    At your age you can’t jerk your way to unhorny. You’re more likely to hurt yourself than get any peace. But we all gotta take care of ourselves, so get a toy like a fleshlight or whatever to avoid injury and because it feels way better.

    Hobbies and weightlifting and dieting and whatever HELP, but they absolutely do NOT fix it. Find balance, take time to vent your balls then go lift weights or build fkn trains to distract yourself a while.

    The people shunning porn are the people who are susceptible to the problems it can create. It is not inherently bad. When you start thinking the crazy shit in porn is for real sex, that’s the problem. It’s an act. If you remember that it’s a simulation of sex, not to be taken literally, then all these porn haters become comical and you can beat it guilt free.

    If you’re in a situation where being horny might be a problem (especially for men, if it becomes apparent), think about defecation and shit.

    The brain is programmed to associate sexual encounters or feelings with cleanliness, so these shitty thoughts stop horniness.

    The same is true in reverse. If you feel like taking a shit with no hope of actually engaging, start thinking horny thoughts. It goes away.

    Constant rejection by your spouse for years and an unwillingness to cheat. Your sex drive will die a slow painful death.

    Sexual transmutation.

    The best way is to take that built up sexual energy and transmute to another form of your life. Feeling turned on? Go to the gym. Put focus on your studies, go for a walk, have a chat with someone.

    Cold showers, meditation and breathing exercises (mindfulness) can also help rewire triggers and thought patterns. CBT therapy is another significant way but therapy is not for everyone (mainly for extreme cases).

    Shift your focus from how you’re feeling to something that brings more value. Feel the feeling and let it pass but the goal is to give your attention to other (and better) aspects in your life.

  84. RedditGarboDisposal Avatar

    Every coverup will only be a temporary fix.

    The true solution is to just have sex and vent that shit out.

    Then again, personally speaking, I’m in my late 20’s, already a horny guy, dating and living with a horny woman, who dresses to provoke my inner demon.

    Unless I absolutely blurr-fuck my girlfriend, it’s on my mind, and even then: It’s still there.

    What you’re looking for is how to function while being horny. That part is up to you and regular sex will regulate this.

  85. jejones487 Avatar

    Behavioral therapy. That’s not something you need to be focused on. Sometimes people are horny. It means nothing. It’s just part of life and there is nothing to be done about it. You need to learn to just get over it and move on. It’s not going to change anything so stop caring.

    Graham crackers were invented by Sylvester Graham to reduce masturbation and horniness, particularly compared to eating meat.

    The military used saltpeter. Corned beef before a big date might help avoid problems.

    It sucks. My wife turned 50 this march, and I am about to turn 35 this June. I followed her, and her drive dropped quickly in the past two years. She’s a fine Asian woman, and I’m a 1.88m European dude, and I’m always for it. But it is what it is. I try to ignite her drive and make her horny; it’s not easy.

  88. 1ReallybigTank Avatar

    I’m like the opposite predicament I wish I had a higher libido because. Life is so booring without the drive and passion from feeling that release when you get it. Otherwise sex just feels like a massage without the feeling horny

    Exercise and goal-setting. Keep your mind occupied with constructive energy mentally challenge yourself to achieve things that have their own dopamine reward upon completion, such as a project or discipline you want to learn. Push yourself through strength and conditioning activities. I’ve found the “runner’s high” is especially good at dissipating intense sexual thoughts that otherwise cloud the mind.

    Uh, game- lover, ( provided this isn’t the game you love,)
    if being horny is a problem you need therapy.

    You may, in fact, have O.C.D or be suffering PTSD.

    If this is genuine satyromania you really are in trouble; it will fuck up relationships,scare people, make you misbehave and can lead to a disorganised lifestyle and a whole heap of problems related to jobs,finance, looking after yourself,self-harm or even suicide.

    You’re obviously worried you’re going to attack someone or get arrested for something.,seek taboo shit on your devices etc.

    Any addiction, even/ especially a sex addiction, can have a dangerous impact on your life.

    If you can afford it,get therapy.

    The gym/ exercise, a hobby, general socialising, medicines,meditation can all help and there’s loads of good advice on here.

    Also, just finding someone compatible or a sex worker.

    Try and avoid online scammers!

    Masturbation won’t help. Even impotent men feel horny.

    Try not to do anything ideological like religion or politics; you’re prime extremist material and people will target you.

    Mostly, take a good long assessment of yourself.

    Maybe being horny isn’t a problem. 75 people on this post are coping!
    Maybe obsessing over being horny is the problem.

    Is being horny fucking up family relations or friendships or ruining a relationship?
    Is it causing financial hardship?
    Is it screwing up sleep and eating patterns?
    Is it making you into a negative personality?
    Are you being reckless or putting yourself and/ or others ar risk?
    Are you neglecting your work/ studies/ people/ duties?
    Is it taking over your life?

    If none of the above; it’s normal to be horny,and for a small cross-section, ( 75 here!) Horny all the time!
    Stop worrying/ obsessing.

    If you answered yes to any one of the things on the list,you may need help.
    Any two: you definitely need help! Professional help!

    And that’s perfectly okay too!

    Look after yourself!

    Good luck.
