I think the difference between hypersexual and addiction is that addiction is an activity you actively do. For example, masturbating to porn multiple times a day, that you lose important time may fall under sex/porn addiction.
However if you are able to reduce or stop these activities, but still get sexual thoughts to the point it interferes with you, then that may be hypersexual. For example, getting thoughts or images of sex with that guy could be hypersexual.
Have you tried limiting the number of times you have sex and masturbate? I personally find that limiting to once a week can make orgasms feel amazing, rather than doing it everyday. Liking sex is fine, but your issue seems to be with limiting it.

Thank you for telling me this is the right place to post, Procrastinator.
You’ve definitely touched on something there. I don’t actively seek out any type of sexual activities just for the sake of it! That almost certainly rules out addiction.
Mine is more a continuous arousal, or semi arousal. Sometimes I can ignore it and other times not. I’ve tried cutting down all sexual activity and then end up waking up at night, or being woken at night by intense orgasms from sleep, or waking up sexually aroused to a painful point. . The next day I feel absolutely exhausted.
I can stop looking at porn, but I’ve only used it to get me over the edge fast and get on with my day.
One thing that’s been haunting me is that my bf says I’m normal for him, but he’s never satisfied either. I worry now that we’re two hyper sexual ppl together, which is good but must have it’s downside.
Apologies for the late reply. I had the dreaded virus.
