Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for the query in XXXXXXX
I would like to know why you think about suppressing a sexual desire?
Is the medicine required for a male or female?
Certain disease situations can increase sexual desire. It is rather to treat that disease situation than suppressing the desire.

I am a healthy male. Borderline diabetic controlled by diet. Always have thought
too much about sex to the point that it dominates my mental processes and plans.
It probably is mediated by testosterone level. I want safe medication.

Brief Answer:
2 times in a week is Normal - Review with results

Dear XXXXXXX
Sexual activity twice in a week is quite normal.
You can practice meditation or yoga to control your desire.
Common cause of increased sexual drive in elderly is dementia which need to be ruled out. It is better to get examined by a physician at your place.
Meanwhile you can do a testosterone profile (Total testosterone & Free testosterone) preferably done in the early morning.

You don't quite get my drift. Your suggestion of Yogi and meditation would involve
affectiing a noticeable, ritualistic therapy that would be more burdensome than
the condition to be alleviated, which at least fun. I want medication.
Perhaps you should refer me to another specialist.

Detailed answer follows
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
I did not mean that yoga and Meditation is the only solution. Those where the relaxation techniques.
It is advisable to get yourself examined for testosterone level as I suggested early before judging the reason for increased desire. Certain medical conditions can cause increased desire for sex which need to be diagnosed.
Q1. By the way, in a day, how many times, do you think about sex?
Q2. Usually, how you satisfy that desire for sex during these desire attacks?
Q3. Are these desire for sex hampers your day today activities?
Awaiting your testosterone results and reply regarding the frequency of sexual desire attacks
