Generally it is not healthy to want to get rid of sexual desire altogher. There are some rare situations where sexual desire has gotten out of control, or is part of a medical or mental disorder. Unless the sexual desire in question is part of a dangerous or illegal behavior pattern, by far the better thing would be to find a healthy outlet for it. Medical doctors and professional counselors would be able to steer individuals toward an appropriate treatment. Doctors may be able to administer various medications or other treatments if the problems associated with sexual desire are severe enough to indicate them.

Ordinary people who have gotten caught up with sexual addictions are able to take less drastics steps than medical treatment. There are 12-step groups that deal with sexual addiction, and they can be very effective in helping to free people from all kinds of addictive sexual behaviors. The approach depends on the nature and severity of the problem, and whether or not regaining healthy sexuality is a realistic goal.

Self-awareness. Once you are self aware of how you'll react to different tempting situations, you won't be tempted. Being self-aware means knowing your limits. For example, " I know when I'm drunk, I'm uncontrollable and reckless which humliates and hurts my friends, so I will never get drunk again." or "If I eat that piece of cake, I won't be able to fit into my dress this weekend."
