#2 Exercise. Someone leaning towards Freudian psychology or even New Age philosophy would tell you that getting strong sexual urges is the effect of pent up sexual energy that needs release. And of course, the perfect way to release it is by way of a strenuous physical activity none other than sexual intercourse.
But instead of intercourse, divert that energy by doing other forms of exercise. So the next time you feel horny, jump into your tracksuit and do twenty laps, hit the gym, or pour it all out on the punching bag. This helps you release that tension and distract your brain from your other urges. And you’ll be too tired after anyway.

#3 Change your diet. Just how aphrodisiacs supposedly increase your libido, certain foodstuffs do the opposite when you consume them. However, take note that these don’t work like medication that takes effect an hour later. You might need to gradually incorporate these into your diet if you feel you’re oversexed.
*Carbonated drinks – drinks with more sugar than water in its formula make you dehydrated and feeling less pleasant than normal. So if you feel horny, chug a little bit of the drink that Men’s Health keeps warning you of.
*Canned foods – high levels of sodium and potassium to keep these canned foods somewhat fresh not only guarantees to make you lose your sex drive, it also makes a man’s spunk taste horrible.
*Soy and cheese – soybean products are a major source of phytoestrogen while cheese gives off a large amount of xenoestrogen. What do they do? They screw up your hormonal balance which manages your libido. So if you want to stop being horny, become a vegetarian.
*Fats and oils – good old grease may taste good, but it also floods the body with a lot of free radicals screwing up the body’s hormonal balance. Feeling horny? Treat yourself to a good double bacon cheeseburger.
*Alcohol and coffee – combine both in some sort of a speedball and you instantly get limp. Alcohol is often thought to be a form of aphrodisiac, but it actually does otherwise. It screws up your mental state and sex drive.
