Libido, also referred to as sex drive, is the desire to have sex. Hormonal levels, medical health, and emotional comfort often influence it. Having a high sex drive is not always a big deal since there is no such thing as a regular sex drive. If you have a high libido and your sex life is satisfying and feels right, then all is good. However, if your sexual urges constantly rule you, it might be time to find ways to lower your libido. Here are a few natural ways to reduce your sex drive.  

1. Identify the Triggers to Your Sexual Urges  

Finding out what triggers you sexually is the first step to avoiding tempting situations. Take time to do a self-assessment and identify when you feel most aroused and what is the main factor. Once you have done that, you can try to see if there is a pattern in your behaviour and take small measures to break it by changing your lifestyle. You can do this by finding a new hobby that helps you to stay preoccupied during that time.   

2. Abstain from Taking Drugs or Alcohol  

When drunk or high, you will likely lose control over your libido. Your hormones are also likely to be affected. If you have difficulty dealing with libido, it is best to take time off drinking or smoking. If you know you are likely to be tempted, steer clear of parties for a while.  

3. Monitoring your Diet 

Aphrodisiacs are foods or medications that promote a high sex drive; therefore, minimizing intake of these foods can help take the steam off. The most potent aphrodisiacs include chocolate, coffee, fish, beef, avocados, watermelon, pomegranates and garlic.   16 Aphrodisiac Foods

4. Work Through Relationship Issues  

Having a high libido can negatively impact your relationship. You may argue with your partner due to the indifferences, and you may both feel uncomfortable. Take time to communicate with your partner about what you are experiencing and give them a chance to give their opinion. Remember, it is vital to respect your partner’s views and wishes.

5. Herbs  

In the same way, some herbs boost your libido, like Ashwagandha; there are also herbs that you can use to lower it.   

Valerian  

Valerian has been used over the years as a pain reliever and a sleeping aid. It is also known to treat premenstrual syndrome in women. Valerian calms the entire nervous system. When it comes to lowering libido, it works by reducing the secretion of sexual hormones, thereby reducing the urge to have sex.  

Chasteberry  

Chasteberry is a popular herbal supplement used to treat various conditions such as menstrual disorders, premenstrual syndrome and infertility. In the olden days, however, it was used by men in the clergy to suppress sexual urges to practice celibacy effectively. Chasteberry, when taken in small doses, works by lowering the secretion of the Prolactin hormone in men, which takes control of sexual urges.  

Rehmannia   

Rehmannia is a Chinese herb used in some traditional medicine combinations. It is known for its ability to work on the nervous system and reduce the urge for arousal in both men and women. Rehmannia is likely to cause side effects, especially if you have diabetes or are pregnant. It is also advisable to take it in small doses.   

6. Seek Therapy  

Therapy is also an excellent way to help reduce your libido. Talking to a therapist can assist you in sorting through what you are feeling that may be causing your sexual urge to spike. You can opt for couples therapy if your libido is affecting your relationship. However, if you are single, the best person to help would be a sex therapist.   6 Things They Don’t Tell You About Therapy

7. Get your Hormones Checked  

A spike in your libido could also result from a hormonal issue. If you feel like your libido has changed over time, you can check your hormones. Having your hormones well balanced could be what you need to lower your libido. 10 Natural Ways To Balance Your Hormones
