Chemical castration

[Dan777]

A little while ago i was looking into taking something to disable my s drive, does anyone have any insight into this..?

I think that sounds pretty severe if you ask me. Do you really think that you required meds to eliminate your sex drive?

I would explore all other options before that one, besides I think it would be tough finding a doctor who would perscribe something like that unless you were a sexual threat to other people etc.

Most of the time with PA's, using P is a way to drown out other problems or issues. Maybe brainstorm ideas on why you resort to P in the first place, and what benefits it gives you.

I don't think medication is the answer to a lot of things, the mind can be just as powerful.

yeah, don't get me wrong, i know that p and mb are symptoms of a deeper issue or issues, in my case i think im aware of what they are, it would just be nice (im probably being fanciful) but it'd be so sweet to just be able to follow some course of meds to clock a year or so of good habit forming.... wishful thinking

Yeah I know what you're saying.

Problem is once you got off the meds, the underlying problems would still be there waiting for you.

This can be a true test of will and discipline, and if it's something you really want and put your all into, chances are you'll succeed.

You will have lots of struggle and urges ahead of you, but stick to your recovery plan (if you have one) and look for support wherever you can.

You can do it.

Believe me, I've also wished there were some magic pill or potion that would make this go away. Life would be so much easier.

But then reality hits again, and the realization that life is not easy. Life is hard. It's in these philosophical moments I think of all those old cliches about how the greater the challenge, the greater the triumph. Sure they are corny, but I have experienced that thrill in other endeavors. I can only hope and trust that ultimately some day this trial will lead to my life's greatest triumph. (Let me amend that. OUR greatest triumph. For again, if there's one thing I've realized in the past week, it's that I am not going to do this alone.)

thanks for the feedback, yeah :) I'm coming to terms with the fact that I'm an individual with emotional issues and that I need to process them and not run away from them even though they traumatic in some cases. Time is a healer as they say :) thanks
