Diminishing Sexual Desire by Fasting

Ibn Mas‘ood, may Allah be pleased with him, said that he and
others were there when the Prophet,  , said: “O young people,
whoever of you can afford marriage should marry because it is
more (conducive to) lowering the gaze and more protective of
the private parts; and whoever is not able to marry should fast,
because fasting diminishes his sexual desire.”  [Al-Bukhari and
Muslim]

 
Jaabir ibn ‘Abdullaah, may Allah be pleased with him, said, “A
young man came to the Prophet   seeking his permission to
have himself castrated. The Prophet   said to him:‘Fast and
ask Allah to grant you from His bounty.’” [Ahmad]
 
‘Abdullaah ibn ‘Amr, may Allah be pleased with him, said that a
man came to the Prophet,  , and said,“O Messenger of Allah,
permit me to have myself castrated.”The Messenger of
Allah,  , said:“Fasting and performing voluntary prayer at
night are the castration of my Ummah (nation).” [Ahmad]
