(using an alt account because people I know follow my main)
Hypersexuality, previously known as Nymphomania, is a medical condition that severely increases the amount of sexual desire and urges one has. Depending on the person this can be up to a point of annoyance or distress.
I only recently realized I had this through an outside perspective and it manifests as a constant sexual drive in me.
So, AMA! And don’t be shy, there are no questions that are off limits
grats on getting on the e :)
so, do you have self-control or concentration issues? can you mitigate them?
I used to have very intense social anxiety and while I overcame a lot of it, it still gives me problems in intimacy with people I don’t know well. Which incidentally helps me repress desires sometimes.
To me there are also some specific situations that trigger very strong urges that I have issues controlling. For example: having somebody’s head close to mine gives the strong urge to kiss them/make out, but very independently of who that is. This can be quite a hassle at work if somebody leans over my shoulder to explain/show me something. I luckily always repressed it in those moments, but it’s really hard. I have the same thing with crotches also, but that doesn’t come up that often LOL
It can sometimes cause concentration issues when I’m not dealing with my desires enough. A few times in the past it had gotten so far (aided though close friends finding it entertaining to tease me in those situations) that I got literally drunk from it. Like: slurred speech, drowsiness, impaired vision and the such. I had to explain to multiple people that, no, I’m not on drugs, but just horny. A friend showed me some lewd Tumblr posts and I almost drooled over her phone
this is very interesting because it brings up a thing i’ve thought about a lot, how to even talk about this stuff with people? i’ve had suspicions but i don’t have the sort of people around me where this can be discussed. which helps fuel even more anxiety.
While I talk about the effects, I haven’t told many people about the hypersexuality itself. I fear they might get the wrong ideas, like thinking I might not be able to consent or that I’m not interested in romantical stuff because of it. Both are wrong, but too easy to imagine from the definition.
Did you have any experiences that made you think about having this? Or what suspicions are you talking about?
yeah, experiences like flooding your brain in the middle of the day making it hard to concentrate. then again that may be an audhd thing.
Depending on what thoughts you had during that it could be ADHD or something else. Really comes down to your personal definition and how you feel about it
something to bring up in therapy i guess, if i can ever get an appointment
Wish you the best of luck with your search, I know how much that can suck
