I don't think there is because it is considered a primary necessity, but I think that if a person can focus it on the right person or the right method can lower, because the common thing when one tries to remove it, it becomes stronger.

There are a lot of great books and references to look into this topic that touch on it in a variety of ways, depending on what angle you'd prefer to go about exploring it. :) In my experience and research, I personally don't know that our sexual desire can be removed, per say, but after having studied and doing my own personal research and experiments in commitments to abstinence, I do feel our desire nature can be transformed and utilized to do a great many things that extend beyond sexual gratification. This is a great question, and I'm really happy that people are interested in exploring their desire nature and understanding it better.
Sexual desires can be considered as like any other needs.Its more power full and energetic as it can lead to giving birth to life. So removing all is not a good choice. Its like asking can we remove our hunger. Food is a need but there can be food for the hunger and food taken to gratify the senses. First one is need satisfaction second one is greed satisfaction. Like law of conservation of energy we can not destroy the energy we can not remove all desires but can transform into creative works.As its an infinite source of energy instead of getting along with the desires transform it into love for nature, love to human kind. Get into art games etc. you can get away from the desires controlling you. Have good friends. Engage in social activities. Empty cup catches dust fast so don't remove fill it with good tea. Best wishes
You'd have to go through a chemical castration procedure.
This is especially effective with males, but not so much with women.
Other medications that suppress sexual impulses may exist (e.g. morphine). However, keep in mind that such medications only produce a brief mental alteration in which the drugged individual is unable to work normally. As a result, decreased sexual desire is merely a side effect.
Sexual desires are, in actuality, as normal as breathing, at least for those who have through puberty. They're also linked to emotions, the life cycle, and mood. As a result, there's a slim likelihood of entirely turning them off.

Sexual desire is a natural part of the human experience. However, if you are in conflict with your sexual desire, that is, if it is a problem for you, or is negatively impacting or interfering with your relationships, responsibilities, obligations, or activities of daily life, a doctor or health care provider may be able to help. A health care provider might know of particular medications or procedures which could lower your desire (decrease libido) or minimize potentially dangerous or unintended impacts of it (such as sexually-transmitted infections or pregnancy). A mental health provider may be able to help you discuss your reasons for wanting to nullify sexual desire and/or give guidance on how to proceed. Be well, and best of luck!
Yes there is. Repressing it can help, but unless you want this to be your lifestyle choice, shutting the emotions down can be very unhealthy. I think you should look forward controlling it instead.
No, there is not. It's a human and animal trait made for surviving and reproduction. But it can be controlled with self-discipline, effort, patience, time, and taking pride in meeting small accomplishments at a time. Things that take you a long way in life past controlling sexual urges. Or maybe try to change your perspective sexually altogether with goals and hard work to meet them. There are also scientific supplements to decrease your hormones if that is what you are looking for. But before that, please see a doctor and see if it would be beneficial for you. You can overcome anything you put your mind to! :)
I guess, there is. But the real question is, why would you remove it? How many problems does it actually create for you? There are so many different kinds of sexual desire, removing it would not be an option for everyone. What we need to do is learn from it. How do you think about it, would the world be easier if everyone just removed there desires? Would the world be easier if no one liked chocolate? But then what about all the chocolate farms? I mean yes they are heavenly underpaid, but if no one liked chocolate they would not be paid at all. Look at it that way, don't ask what you can do for sexual desire, ask what sexual desire can do for you.

Try to distract yourself from it. Sexual desire is something that we can't really remove, it's kind of implanted into our brain. Try to do some exercises, working out, writing, reading, watching a movie.. Any hobby you can think of! Try your best to do healthy things to keep you distracted from it and to build up healthy habits in place of it. It's difficult and not easy, but so are most things in life. Find the best way to balance hobbies, habits, and distractions so that you can completely distract yourself from said sexual desire. I wish you good luck!
I don't think there is a way to remove all sexual desire, as we are all wired to have sexual desire. I have struggled and still do with not letting my sexual desire take over and it felt like a form of addiction for a very long time. I am managing my emotions to a certain extent by intentionally ignoring and not engaging in anything sexual for as long as i can, instead of whenever i want or need a "fix". I hope this could help someone else... It doesn't remove the thoughts but finding ways to overrule those thoughts by doing something more productive is a good way to get further in life and achieve a sense of self-control.
Sexual desire can occur for several aspects. Such as looks, love, kindness or fondness of the person. The only way I can think of to remove this desire is to stop thinking about in general. Get a hobby get yourself doing something so that you become distracted so in a way you want sexual desire. The only hard part is that what causing your sexual desire may be enthralled in your head or that you see this person everyday. Though if this self desire lead to the person you may marry or want to spend a lifetime with then by all means do so.

I think, that unless you are a sex-repulsed asexual, sexual desire is a natural part of being human. However, it is relatively common to feel shame about having sexual desires. There are sometimes underlying issues that can make shame about sexual desire more extreme, even to the point of obsession. I would recommend speaking to a therapist about this, on 7 cups or in person. Sexual desire, for most people, is completely natural and should not be something that causes you shame. I hope that you found this response helpful and that you have a good rest of your day!
No, unless you are asexual, I do not believe there is a way to do this. Most of us are sexual beings, and if we have sexual desire, I don't think there is a way to completely eradicate it. It can be controlled however, and if you feel that your sexual desires impedes on your life, work, or relationships with others, there is help for that. I would suggest looking in your area for a good psychologist or therapist who has experience in this area, and has good reviews and insight to offer. I hope you are able to resolve any problems you may have!

Sexual desire is a complex and natural part of life. While it is not usually possible to extinguish it, you can practice good sexual health to help manage it. Things like practicing good sexual health or limiting exposure to sexually explicit materials might help limit when you feel this desire. If you are experiencing distress linked to your sexual desire, it might be best to seek professional help to figure out why this is, and how best to navigate coping strategies. Desires are natura and normal, and there is nothing wrong with experiencing them, even if it feels that way sometimes.

I am honestly not an expert on this topic. I really believe it depends on your situation. In my opinion, it is probably not possible to do so.
Sexualaty is normal. Human beings are sexual beings. Don't be ashamed of it. But there are certain places and a certain time to express sexual desires.

Sexual desire is natural and it would be unhealthy to supress it, even if you do it will ruin a lot of parts of your life. You could try, but it is a chemical reaction, like hunger or thirst, I don't think you could do it with no medication, and the medication that could supress all sexual desire would be heavy enough to do serious damage overtime. So I am not aware of what you are trying to achieve but I would suggest you to rethink this. Even if it is a matter of sex addiction/ hypersexuality there are different solutions that a therapist could help with
