This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

What pills would even do that? I know that anti-depressants can have that effect, but it's usually temporary (i.e. the libido-suppressing effect subsides after taking them for about half a year).
It's called chemical castration
Here's the wiki

Thanks. Those side effects definitely make anon sound like a dumbass.
I only know a few use cases of chemical castration and now I’m convinced they use “pretty” to mean “underaged”. Yikes.
What led you to that conclusion? I'm not seeing it.
They're making reference to pedos being forcibly chemically castrated.
Not necessarily forcefully; apparently it can be also part of a treatment when people notice that what they perceive as preference is a harmful sickness. I don’t see that person be that aware though, fair.
I’ve never heard of this effect being usually temporary.
If it doesn’t subside in a few weeks it often requires additional medication to solve and to my knowledge, for most people, lasts for as long as you take it
That's been my experience with SSRIs.
Shrug. That's exactly what happened to me when I took anti-depressants. I suppose it might depend on the specific medication.
SSRIs (depression and anxiety meds) can cause decreased libido as a side effect
Edit: I'm dumb and tired, and wrote this before reading the second sentences of your comment
They don't kill my sex drive, but I sure can't cum wile on them.
That sounds like the worst of both worlds.
Saltpeter pills for sure.
Seems to be a myth. Does explain where OOP might have gotten the idea, though.
Lions mane tend to decrease/kill libedo as a side effect.
