When does this stop?

[Menoimagination]

Ive been on t a couple of months now and something that has kicked in this past week is now I have two moods: hungry and another thing that begins with h and ends with y. Like I'd already had the frequent boners thing but this past week my mind has literally been sex sex sex. It is a good thing it is half term because I've probably jacked off between 6-12 times a day every day. When does this like calm down?
Sorry this was all really really tmi but I tried to keep it as minimal as possible but I'm just rather worried because it's reduced the time I've spent talking to friends (I made the mistake of talking to one of my best friends whilst in the mood that isn't hungry and now I'm not too sure I will be able to look her in the face on Monday) so I've been ignoring their messages when I'm like that.
But yeah? When will this calm down because it's really rather annoying.

I'm almost two years on T and my libido has shown no signs of calming down. Some people have high libidos, some don't. Everyone is pretty different in that regard. However, I think you could probably practice a bit more self control if you're avoiding friends and masturbating that much. That's quite excessive. Use all that time and energy for something more productive like a hobby, exercising, etc ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thanks I'll try and do something productive with my time idk.

Like I haven't been super avoiding my friends likevive seen them and talked to them most days. But idk I shoul definately cut down its just hard (pardon the pun)

It's just weird because before t I was completely and utterly disinterested in sex and masturbation, I didn't expect it to change that much.

I find that with myself and others I know/knew intimately, the more you indulge in it the more you can feel like wanting it. The less you think about it or allow yourself to think about it for a certain amount of time the less you want. Some kind of feedback loop.

Probably sounds stupid but then I read some study years back that backed up the observation regards how T levels operate in the body and people who get a lot of sex constantly tend to keep wanting the same amount or more, whereas those practicing abstinence find a decrease in sex drive overall. My sex drive is practically dead right now, but even I know I can increase it a little by forcing myself to thinking about it more often (then it intrudes in dreams). I don't bother though, there's not much enjoyment in it for me.

But I think you can control it by just being strict with yourself and finding a distraction (or cold shower)

I can tell you with some authority after dealing with it for several decades that it will NEVER stop unless you lower the T.

You can only learn how to control it with your mind.  The physical sensations and urges though will remain.
