I'm not sure the potential risk of side effects of the drugs in question are worth such a change. I don't know how old you are, but your libido might also diminish over time.

I used to have similar thoughts as a teenager, so I understand the sentiment, but like everything else at that age, those concerns seem minute in hindsight.

How much fun do you have? Increasing hedons might yield a more efficient balance.

I'm in my 20's and 'have fun' a few of times a year..(no steady partners)

I'm talking about pleasure in general. Not just sexual.

Oh. Ummmm. I guess I have more pleasure than I'd like to. I'm somewhat bad at controlling impulses.
