I might give that a try myself. I'm seeing a doctor this week about my prostate and I'm going to ask about getting my T levels lowered.

Just imagine having sex with Sarah Palin and then engaging in conversation afterwards.

An unintended side effect of one medication was to drop my testosterone to nearly zero. Since that side effect for that medicine wasn't common it took some time to realize (run the blood test) that my T was so low. The most profound change was my lack of interest in sex though hot flashes and a few other common side effects were present (though not really a problem at the time). I would not have done that to myself deliberately but once I returned to normal (stopped the medication) I began to appreciate the lack of distraction and constant urge. I spoke with my doctor about duplicating that effect on a longer term basis. She told me that castration, surgical or chemical was an approach however each has many undesired effects. She knew of no medications that would simply reduce libido without other unhealthy or unpleasant side effects. To her credit she referred me to a specialist where I could discuss the options available to me. The surgical approach was suggested for my situation. The recommendation was to do nothing and come back in a year or more to discuss if I still felt the same frustration. I was left with the impression that they'd do the surgery if I elected to move forward. I'd guess they were hoping I'd move on and find an outlet so that I felt like it was my choice and not their refusal to help me. Still, it's possible that if I go back for a followup visit and say I'd like to move forward that they'd support my decision.

If not for that experience I'd never have given castration in any form another thought. My doctor did say that my question about libido reduction was very common -more from men but sometimes from women - all with partners who have less desire. I fit that category. She said that given my prior unintended experience with low T/low libido it seemed appropriate for her to refer me to a specialist. Had I simply asked about libido reduction or castration I might have been given less consideration.

So, while my experience is not all-encompassing, I did get to work with several doctors at a large institution and learned that they knew of no simple way to reduce libido without some health or quality of life risks.

Most anti depressant have anti androgenic effect but to my knowledge Prosac or Celexa are at top of list. You don't have choice to reduce libido you must reduce testosterone one way or an other.

There are many non-drug things you can do that should lower your testosterone level.

Lack of sleep.

Eating lots of meat and chicken.

Consumption of Soy products.

Drinking lots of beer.

There are also a number of herbs that will lower testosterone.

That info is pretty easy to find on the internet.

Just search for "herbs that lower testosterone", and go from there.

Body builder web sites also contain info on lowering testosterone.

WHY?

They intentionally lower their testosterone temporarily so they can go to a doctor and get a legal prescription for Androcur or Testim.

They then stop the testosterone lowering regimine, let their body return to its normal testosterone production, and then add loads of prescription testosterone before a major competition (that doesn't do drug testing, as synthetic testosterone isn't the same as that which the body makes).

Point is, you can use some of the body builders testosterone lowering methods to lower your testosterone. I used herbs before moving on to Siterone. Herbs do seem to work but Siterone worked better (though herbs were less costly).

Has anyone tried Androease and Calm combination to lower testosterone and libido.

Note they claim that the combination does not have any feminizing properties. If it works as claimed, there is the benefit of limited side effects.

Tired old rehash of the same old herbal crap. Minimal effects, maximum drainage of bank account. Don't waste your time, effort, or money.

Drip one drop of cold water down the middle of your back. That should send shivers throughout and eliminate the erection.. At least, make it a little softer =)
