2 ways to control sexual desire

1. Restrict sexual thoughts deep in the mind

People with hypersexuality engage in frequent sexual intercourse for the sole purpose of obtaining more sexual pleasure. Therefore, we must first restrict the "source" of sexual thoughts.

The specific method is: force yourself to calm down, read several books that introduce healthy sexual physiology and psychology, and have a rational understanding of sex. Take the initiative to communicate with your spouse and ask for supervision. Whenever sexual thoughts occur, you can silently remind yourself to stay away from such thoughts; if it doesn't work, you can say "no" to yourself loudly and repeatedly and forcibly suppress the sexual thoughts.

2. Restricting sexual overtones in the environment

In daily life and the surrounding environment, any sexual objects and words may become a trigger for sexual desire and must be blocked as much as possible, including movies, books, magazines, pictures, audio, etc. In short, try to reduce all kinds of sexual stimulation in the environment as much as possible. Subjectively, you should consciously avoid conversations involving sexual content with others, and you should also consciously avoid paying attention to the opposite sex, and strive to distract yourself from sexual issues.
