Having understood my high s*x drive, how it affected my studies as a student, and how I struggled to put it under my control and became more productive, I’m pleased to share with you some effective tips that can help you control your libido.

Stay tuned, as I clear the misconceptions associated with s*x drive control, by taking you through some time-tested techniques that work.

**What is Se*ual Urge?**

The term “libido,” or “s*x urge,” describes a person’s inclination for se*ual behavior, which is a result of their fundamental biological need to procreate.
It’s a common emotion that anyone can have, regardless of their desire to procreate.
A person’s libido might range from having no desire for s*x at all to wanting to have s*x frequently.

High s*x drive is OK as long as it doesn’t take up too much of one’s mind. One may want to lessen their s*x drive, for instance, if it: interferes with their job, social life, sleep, or health; impacts their mental health; makes it difficult for them to feel satisfied, regardless of how much s*x they have; degrades the quality of their relationships; or results in other negative consequences.

Causes

Everybody has a different definition of a normal s*x drive, and people are likely to have greater s*x desires at different points in their lives.
Age is one of the elements that affect s*x drive.
Energy levels; relationships; physical and mental health; social interactions; and use of drugs, alcohol, or medication

**How to control your se*ual desire**

1. Find a definite Purpose

Finding a definite purpose is one of the ways to preoccupy your mind important things, thereby shielding your mind from destructive thoughts. It has been said that an idle mind is a devil’s workshop. A mind preoccupied by positive activities cannot give room for any compulsive behavior capable of disrupting such positive activities. Thus, when your mind is preoccupied with a desire to give your life a meaning, it will be easier for you to discipline yourself and be in total control of your se*ual desire. Whenever the se*ual urge comes, intentionally switch your mind definite purpose and you will feel better.

2. Desist from factors that can trigger se*ual desire

S*x control is about distraction. By writing down your daily activities in a paper and keeping it in your pocket will help you to channel your mind towards your work, rather than seeking physical expression of your s*x desire. Whenever the thought of s*x comes, bring out your list and begin to think of how to accomplish them. This will enable you to be in control of your emotions.
