Hello Artchic528: I read your post yesterday but did not reply because I don't know as there is much I can offer. However, I see your post has yet to receive any replies. So I thought I would do so.

I don't know if there is a connection between your history of sexual abuse & you hypersexuality. I know when I was young I was also hypersexual. But I was never sexually abused. I always just presumed it was because I was biologically male. However, I have always also struggled with a high levels of anxiety. And I've wondered if perhaps there was a connection there as well.

I enjoy reading about current research regarding how our brains work. And one thing I've read is that much more of who we are, & what we do, is controlled by areas of the brain to which we have no conscious access than we would typically imagine. So perhaps at least part of the answer here is that there is material stored in non-conscious areas of your brain that is driving you to do the kinds of things you are doing. Perhaps it is something to explore in therapy?
