Q. I am not enjoying sex with my partner, as he is not a good lover. Please suggest some odorless, colorless medicine I could put in his food to reduce his libido.
A. Despite folklore about saltpeter (potassium nitrate) dampening desire, there is no OTC drug to reduce libido. Please seek counseling with your partner to improve his skills and the relationship.
