anti-aphrodisiac
Passion's cold water
An anti-aphrodisiac is something that dampens sexual desire—the opposite of an aphrodisiac.
The term applies to substances, situations, or behaviors that kill the mood: Nothing is more anti-aphrodisiac than hearing your partner talk about their ex.
Certain medications have anti-aphrodisiac effects as side effects.
