Not exactly. Almost anything in the SSRI or SNRI classes can cause diminished sex drive, depending on the patient. So can depression, hormone imbalances, the list goes on.

It's not the only one. Cyproterone or Depo-Provera are other possibilities.

I take this drug for my male pattern baldness. My doctor said that the side effects are all mental (the control group that was given a placebo also experienced the same side effects), the chances are very low (about 2% of people get it), and the side effects disappear after you stop taking it. I don't think its a huge deal.

It would be nice not to desire sex any longer. Not just ignore it or learn to tolerate it but to actually not want to... What a blessing that would be.

Make sure you check the side effects.

I really don't understand why anyone would want to do this to himself. High testosterone means better physical fitness, mental clarity, focus, energy, confidence, happiness, and yes, horniness too, but you are giving up a lot more than libido by messing up your hormones. Don't do it.

Flogging the Dolphin--a much easier and more cost-effective libido killer.
