Q: can varicocele cause excessive desire for sex? as long as i can remember i need to release every 36 hours to keep the "pressure" pain away?

: Patients I've seen with varicoceles had no symptoms but among possible symptoms, excessive sexual desire is not listed. They can lead to infertility. A urologist can advise you best.
