    Sex slowly lost its appeal since I took no pleasure from it. I still watch porn and jack off only so that I can get back to work and focus on it. I am genuinely considering sterilization.

      I think you ought to try a therapist first. I don’t know your life but it kinda sounds like arousal might not be the root cause and something deeper is going on.

      Man you are saying you’re considering sterilization, on the next comment you say that you have accepted that you will never find joy, and on the other comment you say that you think that nothing is that big that worths seeking professional help. Get yourself a favor and go to a therapist

      Vasectomy doesn’t change anything wrt horniness etc. Removing testicles isn’t possible, you need testosterone to live healthily. Unless you take estrogen to compensate, but that’s another matter. It would help with horniness though. Some SSRIs could work too.

        Honestly, I wouldn’t even think of using any meds or going for an operation, but because of how there are just things that make me horny all over the internet, I can’t control myself. Horny posting is everywhere, and I can’t even filter it out properly.

        I know I probably can’t be ever happy, but I just dont wanna be horny anymore.

          One of the most common side effects of SSRIs is not getting horny anymore, to the point of sexual dysfunction. Yet for many people this is a trade-off they want to make for not being depressed. For you it could be win-win.

          Talk to your doctor, get a psychiatrist. It’s worth it.
