::: spoiler Tap for spoiler For me, when I started spiro (50mg/twice day), 8 think within a week or two, my libido was pretty much completely gone. No morning wood, etc. But I think it's returned a just a tiny bit over the last couple months. Seems like it would be more complicated to try to fine-tune the dosage, at least while my body feels like it is overcompensating for the spiro by possibly producing more T (idk - don't have a baseline that's not from like 5 years ago).
I might be a black-stripe ace? So libido is mostly just something that makes it hard to sleep and is annoying during the day. Doesn't really cause any sort of sex-thoughts. For me, sexual desire and libido are two separate things and conflating them is one of the reasons I ruled out the possibility of being ace for like 15 years.
Personally didn't opt for trying monotherapy specifically because I wanted to reduce or eliminate my libido. I wish I had been presented that option like a decade ago without any sort of social baggage attached.

With each reply, the more I look at this the more I wonder what and how and why even, with regard to myself. I dunno if I understand anything. I'm not gonna fuck with my dose personally, not now anyway, but it feels really weird I guess Idk. This is a bad feel
Fwiw, I do seperate libido and desire for myself even if they feel kind of tied together in an ugly fashion... like my brain chemicals or whatever are fuckin tricking me into sex? Ech. It occurs to me that sex-thoughts only even... kind of occur in my brain? Aw jeesh I don't understand anything anymore =)
I find it fascinating & cool that you went in with the idea to reduce or eliminate your libido. It's been ages but maybe that was a motivator for me too, cannot recall...
