Strange question i know but i have heard that there is something you can take that does the exact opposite of Viagra. Did'nt they use to give it to men in hosoital? Just wondered if you could buy it anywhere?

Were you interested in reducing libido or reducing an erection?
If you are having persistant or painful erections the person to see would be a doctor, it's probably ok but they are always the expert.
If however it's a problem with wanting to have sex all the time to the point its interfering with your life, that is more something I know about. Unfortunately, there is no quick fix. There probably is medication out there, but it's seen as a joke problem. People will give you nonsense help like 'just masturbate more'. Doctors may be nicer about it, but if you've got the guts to go to a doctor with such an issue then you're doing better than I did!
Just wondering if this is in relation to your previous posts about feeling you're a woman rather than a guy. I didn't get a chance to reply before so I hope it's okay if I answer this from that point of view along with some more general support services that might be able to help.
I know you'd spoken to your Doctor and he was at the stage of wanting you to experiment with presenting as a woman, so it might be worth speaking to him about medication. Medication is likely to be an important part of the process of physically changing your gender, and it's worth bearing in mind that taking something without a prescription could have a significant effect on the process and on how comfortable the NHS will be with how everything is going.
The Gender trust is a great resource for advice around gender reassignment and issues around gender dsymorphia.

You can call them on 0845 231 0505. They also have some specific information about the process for patients and for the NHS directly.
On this page you'll find a lot of stuff, in particular have a look at the information on hormone treatments. This is later on in the process that your at now, but it may explain how issues around erections, etc, would change during the reassignment. -

Press for change may be worth bearing in mind for the future, should you feel your not being supported through the process or are facing problems with the way you are treated.

There's an interesting article on the EHRC website about the reassignment process -
http://www.equalityhumanrights.com/advice-and-guidance/information-for-employers/guidance-on-recruiting-and-supporting-trans-people/the-gender-reassignment-process/
It's written from the perspective of an employer but gives some insight into the gender transition.
Any way, I hope some of that is helpful and I've not misunderstood where you're coming from. Best thing though, be open with your doctor and talk through any issues you're having - that way you'll hopefully get the best support possible.
I feel for you, nature can be a bitch at times.
You might want to look at this article although possibly not the best source of information, it does contain some tips.
There's also this.
However, as others have said this might be something you need to talk to a GP about.
Good luck
I'd imagine even a partial erection would be quite painful if you're tucked.
But no advice, sorry.
