#4 Kill the mood with anything counter-erotic. People, sometimes you get horny because kinky thoughts run through your mind. Just like bad sex, you can put your urges at bay by doing stuff that usually kill the mood for you when you’re about to go at it.
*Watch, read, or listen to comedy – laughter is good except in the bedroom. Watching your favorite sitcom realigns your focus away from sex.
*Or you can choose something more depressing – we’ve been depressed at some point in our life. And one thing for sure is sex is the last thing you’ll be worried about when you’re feeling blue. Watch a good drama or just be reminded of your bad breakup. The brain parts that function when you’re depressed shuts off the other parts making you horny.
*Even scary stuff – a quick jump scare scene definitely deflates your boner. Try it.

#5 Physical Pain. I’m not saying you should hurt yourself, but we’re just letting you know experiencing physical pain would definitely whisk that horniness away. Unless you are a masochist, that is. It may feel silly just imagining it but if you don’t mind giving yourself a pinch or a slap *and if you’re desperate enough* give it a try.

#6 Meditation. Feeling horny is a state of mind as much as it is a bodily function. And as Buddhism teaches, one can control desires and urges by practicing mental discipline through meditation. You don’t need to practice Buddhism altogether. The basic requirement for meditation is simply a quiet and peaceful space where you empty your mind and let go of your desires.
