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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!
