Possible hypersexual (or atleast high sex drive)

Procrastonator · Nov 01, 2022 at 09:44 AM

Ever since my first relationship, I've noticed that I'm abnormally more sexual than most people, or at the very least find it more of an annoyance.

Since I hit puberty, I have had sexual imagery before I even knew what sex is. To this day, I'm still surprised my mind somehow made porn without me even knowing what porn is.

I usually masturbate around 1 - 2 times a day, with the most being around 4 times in a day. Some people consider this as "normal", but tbh, it feels like I need to do it, rather than want to do it. I have also had small cuts to my genitals due to excessive masturbation.

I also don't like porn much, but still watch it a lot. I do believe I can quit it, but I end up with sexual thoughts towards IRL friends, which makes me feel very uncomfortable. So I can either masturbate to porn, knowing that the porn creator is fine being masturbated to, or get sexual thoughts towards IRL friends.

The only time when I have felt happier after cumming is from wet dreams.

During my first relationship, I do believe I was aroused too much, to the point that it is painful to just stay constantly aroused. I would ask to play with her boobs and grind on her body until I cum in my underwear. She also bought up the issue that I was "very lustful". I would rather be more romantic (such as just cuddling) than to be aroused so much.

I've also had close calls with just hiring a prostitute, as well as masturbated in not so great places.

I wish I had a healthier relationship with sexuality. I hear some people masturbate only one or twice a week, which sounds like a dream to me. I also find that people who are "asexual" seem to have the convenience of not getting aroused at all, meaning they have more time for hobbies. Of course, asexual people have other issues they face in society.

I guess my sexuality feels more like a "chore", rather than a "hobby". I also have diagnosed OCD.

Hello Procrastonator: I believe this is your first thread here on MSF. So... welcome to the forums.

I hope you find the forums to be of benefit.

Thanks for sharing your concerns. I did look back at your reply to another member's thread. And it sounds as though you do see a therapist. So, hopefully, your sexuality-related concerns are something you're able to discuss with your T.

I'm not a mental health professional. But I have the impression hypersexuality is something that can be one aspect of having bipolar disorder (as well as other mental health diagnoses I would suppose.) I do know that, way back when I was young (which was a long time ago), I was hypersexual. And some of the things my hypersexuality led me to do are things I now regret. But, of course, it's too late to change any of that now. Hopefully you will be able to find some healthful ways to cope with yours. My best wishes to you.

@Skeezyks Thanks for your reply! I do already have a clinical psychologist and clinical psychiatrist. Unfortunately I've not had the time to bring up this issue to them yet, since the main focus is on OCD at the moment. I don't believe I have Bipolar, since I was not diagnosed with it, nor do I match the symptoms of it.

Luckily for me, I've not yet reached a point where my (possible) hypersexuality has caused me to regret major decisions. However I do know that it would likely affect future relationships (similar to how it affect my first and only relationship thus far).
