All right. How to destroy my sex drive?

Do you masturbate? Can you bring yourself to orgasm?
Maybe enough release will make you feel better.
Oh, and by the way, medicine contains herb extracts not the other way around!

The herb extract is a medicine. That's why it works. Look:
from http://www.thefreedictionary.com/drug
drug [drʌg]
n
1. (Medicine / Pharmacology) any synthetic, semisynthetic, or natural chemical substance used in the treatment, prevention, or diagnosis of disease, or for other medical reasons Related adj pharmaceutical
2. (Law / Recreational Drugs) a chemical substance, esp a narcotic, taken for the pleasant effects it produces
Any of that can apply to a natural substance as well as a synthetic one. Niccotine is still a drug when it's in the tobacco plant; digoxin is still a drug when it's in the foxglove. The only difference is that the commercial compounds are purified and quantified.
That said, if you're having a disturbing amount of libido I agree that masturbating is absolutely better than either fomenting about it in your own mind or running off to a bar to find a guy to have sex with.

Yeah I can, I just don't like having the urge to do it so often...

You could try the herb Vitex, also known as Chaste Berry.
It is used for different female conditions, including PMS, it works on the hormones to normalize the hormonal complex. It's probably an adaptogen, but I'm not sure. Anyway, it's also used to lower libido.
I'm not a professional, mind you, but I study natural medicine on my own.
Good luck!
Also, a crappy diet of processed foods will kill your libido, too. But the side affects are awful! Weight gain, depression, immune suppression, and organ damage in the long run. Just mentioning it if you're desperate and don't like taking herbs.

I could try that...but I still live at home with my mom and she'd probably notice and want to know why I was buying some sort of medicine...and I really really wouldn't feel comfortable with telling her 'Oh it's a herb to lower my sex drive...'
I'll stick to thinking about vomiting..
Thanks though.

Why not? What's wrong with masturbation?

I don't think that the O.P was saying that anything was wrong with masturbation! Just not wanting to have to do it so often. I can certainly relate to having a sex drive that is in hyper drive. It is distracting, annoying, and is never fully satisfied, now matter how willing or frequently you try to relieve it. I have heard that hitting one's G-spot tends to take the edge off the desire for a longer period of time, though.

One last suggestion that occured to me this morning:
Check a list of foods that act like aphrodisiacs and see if you have been eating lots of any of them, then cut down.
I know that if I eat a lot of garlic, my sex drive goes up.
Here's a site to start:
