(6,154 posts)I know women don't want to be viewed as sex objects nor should they. Women should be accorded as much respect and equality as any man. But it ain't easy being a man either. We certainly can control ourselves and anyone why says otherwise is just justifying sexual abuse, but we can't really control our thoughts, and immediate mental reactions of sexual attraction. The old saying that a guy thinks about sex every X # of seconds is a bit of an exaggeration to be sure but it's not a huge one. I'm a 31 virgin male not by choice, I have life long depression and social anxiety that has made it very difficult for me socially. I have few male friends let alone female. Nothing's taking away my sexual drive though, which makes my situation all the worse. I'd actually welcome a pill to reduce my libido. Actually some of the SSRI medication I've taken has had this effect.
I don't want everything to be about sex either but my body doesn't seem to listen to my brain on this issue and quite frankly if I was able to have semi regular sex I don't think I would want such a pill, as I would cherish my sexuality in that case. I can see quite a few women here do too, which is no surprise.
