- Firehed 14y agoThe author said he went cold-turkey for months at a time to little effect. I'm sure that approach helps some people, but I'd wager there are a lot of variables here.
- mattm 14y agoDepending on the person and amount of use, I have heard it usually takes from 3-18 months to fully return to normal.
- vy8vWJlco 14y agoAssuming there is such a state, calling it detox implies it's normal or good. I'd be curious what, if any, physiological changes result to reduce the influence of one's sex drive. If so, why not "simply" auto-castration? (If the goal is to reject one's drives...) I see a general male catharsis that borders on the neurotic. Society demands verile/potent men who can, at the same time, subjugate themselves fully to society and their mates.
- w1ntermute 14y agoI don't remember exactly what it was, but there are probably some neurological/mental conditioning aspects to it.
