Black licorice (or liquorice) contains GLYCYRRHIZIC ACID which, studies have shown, dramatically lowers testosterone levels. While long-term studies seem to be unavailable, it will definitely help you in the short term. It is not a panacea; you will still have urges; but it will help remove a little intensity from them. You can either buy it as a capsule from a health-food store (I find them in most drug stores) or you can buy black licorice treats if you like them (REAL black licorice, not twizzlers)

See this study

and this article
www.livestrong.com/article/143786-how-does-licorice-root-help-lower-libido/

for kosher black licorice try "Darrell lea" licorice

WARNING: THE FDA RECOMMENDS THAT PEOPLE 40 AND OLDER SHOULD BE CATIOUS ABOUT CONSUMING TO MUCH BLACK LICORICE (SEE abclocal.go.com/wabc/story?section=news/health&id=8413387)

But one thing I can tell you: it works.
