I was watching this youtube vid and i happened to catch an interesting line. This guy who was following a calorie restricted diet (~1600 cals a day) said that your sex drive goes down substantially. I wanted to see if I felt any different on a similar diet because my libido is a little over-active. It works. Watching porn feels more like more work than it's worth 50% of the time.

My guess is that excess food intake signals your body that it's a good time to pop out some kids. If you're struggling with an overactive libido that's a distraction, maybe try cutting back on food. In my experience it cuts back on the feelings of intermittent lonliness too.

It should be noted that normal followers of calories restriction use it to extend lifespan but I really have no comment on that.
