Just as people have searched for aphrodisiacs, so they have sought anaphrodisiacs-substances or practices that would diminish sexual desire. Cold showers are reputed to have such effects, as does potassium nitrate (saltpeter). This substance contains nothing that decreases sexual drive, but it does act as a diuretic. In other words, it makes the person want to urinate frequently, which may be distracting enough so that he or she is not much interested in sex. There has been some medical interest in finding drugs that would decrease sex drive for use in treating aggressive sexual offenders. One such drug is cyproterone acetate, which is an antiandrogen.
