The battle can be fierce and drag on and on but I do not think we have to struggle endlessly through life over-burdened with demanding, out-of-control sexual urges. As impossible as it seems, we can actually put our libidos to sleep. The bad news is that the reason it seems impossible is that it takes enormous effort and self-denial to put our demanding desires to sleep. Like naughty children, our sex drives do not want to settle down. The only way to get your hyperactive sex drive to sleep is the same way to get a hyperactive child to sleep – keep denying it things that will keep it excited. You have to keep telling it things like: “No, you can’t watch five minutes more television. It will give you bad dreams and disturb your sleep. No, you can’t play your computer game. You’ll want to do it over and over rather than sleep. No, you can’t play with your friend. You’ll get too excited and never settle down. No, you can’t have a drink.”

To the child that you are trying to settle, life seems filled with frustrating ‘no’s. “But Tommy’s allowed to do it! It’s not fair! Just one more time. This little thing won’t hurt.” On and on the excuses and fights go. The child simply cannot believe that if denied these things now, he will feel better later and he will actually enjoy these activities more than ever after a refreshing sleep. It’s far from easy, but if we are strict with this demanding child and keep saying no and consistently enforce it, eventually, to our great relief, he will settle.
