Uses and Benefits of Anaphrodisiacs

Introduction

You have probably heard the saying “the average man thinks about sex every seven
seconds.” It is hard enough to ponder how the average man’s brain functions with a
sexual thought popping in every few seconds. What must it be like for those that are
above average to today’s hyperactive sexual society?

If men are thinking about sex more frequently than once a minute, how do they get any
work done? Blame it on a society that is bombarded with subconscious erotic images.
ABC News reports that researchers at the University of Minnesota concluded that sexy
subliminal images competed for attention in the human brain even when those images
were not right in front of the person's eyes. Weirdly, most people are not even
consciously aware of them!

Researchers at the Kinsey Institute for Research in

Sex, Gender and Reproduction at Indiana University
found 54 percent of men and 19 percent of women
think about sex frequently throughout the day.

The disparity in the frequency people think about

sex is the result of basic neurological differences.
Hormone levels at different stages of life and
varying genetic dispositions make us think and feel
differently about sex. People have various hormone
and testosterone levels that account for the various
levels of sexual thoughts. There are two types of products available for people
interested in manipulating sexual desire, aphrodisiacs and anaphrodisiacs.

People use aphrodisiacs when they are interested in increased sexual arousal. These
products are heavily marketed, widely celebrated and readily available in today’s
society. Less publicized but equally beneficial are the use of anaphrodisiacs to
temporarily diminish arousal.

What are anaphrodisiacs?

Many people are unfamiliar with the term let alone aware of anaphrodisiac products in
the marketplace. The new world college dictionary provides the following definition:

an⋅⋅aph⋅⋅ro⋅⋅dis⋅⋅i⋅⋅ac [an-af-ruh-dee-zee-ak]

–adjective 1. capable of diminishing sexual desire.

–noun 2. an agent that lessens sexual desire
Despite not being widely publicized, people have utilized anaphrodisiacs throughout
history to balance libido.

 Uses and Benefits of Anaphrodisiacs
Available anaphrodisiacs

There are two types of anaphrodisiac products available to consumers looking to

decrease sex drive, herbal and synthetic. More common anaphrodisiacs are alcohol
and cigarettes but this is typically an unintended consequence. While alcohol is used
socially because it initially reduces mental inhibitions, studies have shown over time
alcohol physically decreases arousal and makes achieving climax more difficult. For
this reason alcohol is considered an anaphrodisiac.

More natural and healthier options are natural herbal products. Herbalists have blended
anaphrodisiacs for thousands of years. Today consumers can use more modern
products such as Libidno™, an all-natural anaphrodisiac developed from traditional
medicine and engineered to assist individuals to temporarily suppress distracting sexual
urges. These anaphrodisiacs contain specially blended herbs used medicinally for
centuries by herbalists around the globe to bring a sense of well-being and reduce
sexual urges.

Less natural options are prescription synthetic compounds such as estrogens and anti-
androgens drugs. These drugs have several side effects including fatigue, headaches,
mood disturbances, loss of body hair, and breast development. Because of the health
risks of prescription medication, these products are undesirable for a large segment of
the population and are most frequently prescribed by professionals for habitual sex
offenders. These products are considered too risky for the general public and are
typically not recommended for casual use.

Based on the products available in the market today, it seams clear that the herbal
anaphrodisiacs provide the most beneficial option without the health risks and side
effects.

Why take anaphrodisiacs?

Even though there are safe and effective products available in the market, why would
anyone want something to reduce his or her libido?

People have varying genetic dispositions that account for the various levels of sexual
thoughts and desire. People with above average sex drive look regularly to reduce
distracting sexual thoughts to live a normal life while others with typical levels use
anaphrodisiacs periodically to improve focus for specific events in their lives.

People with excessive sexual urges get caught up in sexual fantasy and may have
difficulty focusing on anything else. Distracting sexual thoughts may make it difficult to
live a normal productive life, focus on work or school and can create embarrassing
social situations. Many people find their attention constantly disturbed by undesirable
sexual urges, thoughts and feelings. These unwanted sexual urges might interfere with
their daily lives, relationships and degrade their quality of life.

 Uses and Benefits of Anaphrodisiacs

There are several casual uses for anaphrodisiacs. People with an important
presentation, exam or social event would be interested in suppressing distracting sexual
urges that take away from mental focus. Some people going on a date and would
prefer not to loosely fumble through meaningful conversation while wasting emotional
energy to suppress sexual fantasies of your date. Some people’s bodies physically
respond to sexual thoughts at inappropriate times causing social embarrassment.

The benefit of herbal anaphrodisiacs is they assist all types of individuals to temporarily
suppress distracting sexual urges. All natural herbal anaphordisiacs provide safe and
effective options and the effects subside when discontinued. There is no shame in
using anaphrodisiacs. Millions of people could benefit from their periodic use. If people
can use aphrodisiacs when they need to get sexually excited, shouldn’t they also benefit
from using anaphrodisiacs to temporarily cool their arousal? With both types of
products available, anyone could freely control his or her amorous feelings.

Science

Studies have evaluated the effect of herbal anaphrodisiacs on men and women. The
active component of anaphrodisiacs like Libidno™ is enzymes that catalyze the
conversion of androstenedione that promotes the reduction of sexual urges. Studies
have demonstrated that these products inhibit 17ß-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and
17,20-lyase, which catalyzes the conversion of 17-hydroxyprogesterone of
androstenedione to testosterone.

In one study a group of men were given an anaphrodisiac and the effect on the
metabolism of mineralocorticoids in these men was recorded. During the period of
administration, the testosterone concentrations decreased and the serum 17-
hydroxyprogesterone concentrations increased. Testosterone levels fell by about 40%
after administration and returned to normal after usage was discontinued.

Studies have demonstrated herbal anaphrodisiacs are a safe and effective method for
individuals managing their body.

History

Herbal remedies have been with us from the beginning of time. The World Health
Organization estimates that 4 billion people, 80% of the world population, presently use
herbal medicine for some aspect of health care. Herbal medicine is a major component
in traditional medicine and a common element in Ayurvedic, homeopathic, naturopathic,
oriental, and Native American Indian medicine.

Chinese history dates back to 2735 B.C. when the Chinese emperor Shen Nong wrote
an authoritative thesis on herbs. The records of King Hammurabi of Babylon (c. 1800
B.C.) include instructions for using medicinal plants.

By the seventeenth century, the knowledge of herbal medicine was widely disseminated
throughout Europe. In 1649, Nicholas Culpeper wrote A Physical Directory, and a few
years later produced The English Physician.

Modern medicine has used this knowledge passed on through centuries for the
development of medications. The World Health Organization notes that of 119 plant-
derived pharmaceutical medicines, about 74% are used in modern medicine in ways
that correlated directly with their traditional uses as plant medicines by native cultures.
In other words, the use of herbal remedies throughout history has been validated in
many cases. Major pharmaceutical companies conduct research on plant materials for
their potential medicinal value before mass-producing synthetic compounds for
prescription use.

Herbs help people build their good health naturally. Unlike chemically synthesized,
highly concentrated laboratory drugs that can produce many side effects, herbs can
benefit people naturally.

Conclusion

The benefit of herbal anaphrodisiacs is they assist individuals to temporarily suppress

distracting sexual urges. All natural herbal anaphordisiacs provide safe and effective
temporary options for casual use. Individuals have an option to take control of their
urges during usage and have the effects subside when discontinued. Now anyone can
freely control his or her amorous feelings using natural products available today.
Millions of people have periods of strong sexual urges and could benefit from using an
anaphrodisiac. A goal of managing sexual urges is to manage the urge and reduce
excessive behaviors while maintaining a healthy emotional balance.

Consider using an all-natural anaphrodisiac such as Libidno™ that assists individuals to

temporarily suppress distracting sexual urges. These products support the body’s
natural ability to help provide an anaphrodisiac effect while adding emotional tranquility.
