It's important to approach concerns about sexual desire with care. Medications like anti-androgens or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) may be prescribed in certain cases to help reduce sexual drive, but these should only be taken under the guidance of a healthcare professional. I recommend discussing your concerns with a doctor who can provide a personalized treatment plan.

I've been eating raw rice since I was a kid, and now I find myself doing it about 23 times a day. I'm starting to worry if this habit is harmful to my body. Can you advise me on how to stop this?

Eating raw rice frequently can be harmful to your body as it may lead to digestive issues and nutrient deficiencies. Try to substitute raw rice with healthier snacks like fruits or nuts to gradually break the habit.
