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).

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.

[–] rooroo@feddit.org 6 points 2 days ago

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.

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

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.

[–] LH0ezVT@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

That sounds like the worst of both worlds.

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.
