Feeling horny is a natural body response we all know so well. All people experience it—even those people who claim they are asexual like Sheldon Cooper. We feel these sexual urges because of our biological impulse to proliferate our species. And the far simpler reason, sex is so damn good. However, sex and masturbation are not always a viable or appropriate solution whenever your sexual urges catch you off guard. So what can you do to stop being horny?
The downside of being horny all the time
Being horny and turned on is good if you’re about to get laid. Other than that it merely serves as a distraction and forces you to become sexually frustrated. People need to fight off sexual urges at times when it starts intruding in your life by:
*Putting you off your concentration at work or school.
*Stress – you can’t feel relaxed when you don’t have sex or masturbate.
*Relationship problems – constantly demanding sex from your partner puts a strain on your relationship.
*Being preoccupied with releasing your sexual tension.
*Becoming addicted to porn or masturbating.
Quick hacks to calm your urges
There are things we can do when we need to stop being horny and can’t use sex or masturbation. These five quick hacks help calm it all down.
#1 Take a shower. The old wives’ tale goes: when in heat, take a dip. However, the effect of a cold shower against horniness varies for each individual. Some say it helps calm them down. Some say it’s “meh,” and a few believe that it’s actually counter-productive as standing wet, naked, and caressing yourself all over invites more of those urges in. Still, it’s worth a try.
