hypersexuality and how i struggle

it's so fucking hard trying to cope with it, every relationship i have been in has ended up insanely sexual because i keep sexualizing myself. i cant stop thinking about shit like that even when its wrong to, and i always joke it off yet to me it isn't a joke. it's literally emotionally draining and im always tired from soo much shit and this makes it worse, i hate being hypersexual.

how do you guys cope with hypersexuality if you have it?
i'd like to know

I don’t really think I do cope, it just causes me problems constantly.

I guess the only real way to cope would be to live with it and learn how to handle it, which is easier said than done I know

If it's really that bad the best thing to do would be to talk with a professional therapist. They may be able to help you curb some of the more intense aspects of your problem while still allowing you to find a way to enjoy your sexuality.

I honestly just fap one out in secret and don't bring up too much sex related content until anyone I'm with brings it up first. Then I try to ease people into conversations like that and hopefully it goes somewhere positive.

i used to have it /:

and i coped in really unhealthy ways

eventually i started trying to heal and focus more on myself and break my bad habits 

it worked out eventually but we all have our ups and downs 

my advice would be try to understand why this is happening and think of ways you can heal from it, try setting boundaries and if you feel comfortable enough, tell your future partners about it, i know it can feel really icky & kind of scary when you tell them, but they'll be able to help you through it 

also dont be too hard on yourself, it's not your fault, being hypersexual is not a death sentence, you CAN and WILL get through this <3

i hope this helped you!!

yours alluringly, 

haya xx

Yoz for me, I’m kind of just taking small steps and trying to slowly improve it’s been years that I’ve been dealing with it and it’s absolutely terrible and I can relate to that so much I mean at one point, it was so bad that I was doing it almost 3 times a day to the point that I bled however I have improved and it has been hard whether that be trying to find distractions, which is really goddamn hard or trying to at least give myself tasks to try and make it through a couple days it’s gotten to the point where it’s only about two times a week and I’m trying to get to my goal of only doing it on periods bc that’s the only time it doesn’t hurt or feel uncomfortable for me but still, I get what you mean man.

I understand what this is like, since i struggle with this too. I don't really have like a professional that i can talk to about this and it really sucks. I recently got into a relationship and he is kind of the opposite of me, he rarely does stuff and is inexperienced, and it makes me feel bad whenever i bring up stuff to him about it (intenseguilt.mov)

But it really has been hard to cope lately because i relapsed because of it (SH) but he's trying to talk to me and help me cope more. (pretty much by keeping my mind occupied with conversation and memes lol).

I really hope i can keep getting better, and i hope everyone who suffers from hypersexuality is able to move past it somehow/cope with it in a healthier manner

personally for me ive had trouble in relationships escpecially due to the fact that im so open to all sorts of affection its def easy for people to take advantage of that.. It also gets in my way as i have hypersexuality due to s/a at a young age i cling to affection and approval from people and it get in my life on a daily basis

TRIGGER WARNING TOPIC : SA


having the same problem with my girlfriend. got sa'd by my moms ex bf son and my aunts ex bf son and it made me realize i hated men. only to realize it made me hypersexual and i try to control it around her. best thing is try to distract your mind and go outside or read a book or do something that isnt sexual in a way. i usually listen to music and clean my room if i have to.

Hey! 

I wanna let you know you are loved and are valid!
I don't fully, because I'm not you, but I understand in a way.
I have sexual OCD which causes me to believe I'm some sort of sexual deviant.
I know it's tough but we'll get through this, together!!

Personally how I cope is to write down reminders on sticky notes and put them in my laptop, locker, lunchbox, binder, etc.
These reminders mostly consist of "You're not your thoughts!", "You're a good person", "You'll get through this!","Your loved!", etc.

And remember, you can ask for help!
I did and yes I was terrified but they understood!!
Tell a trusted adult or therapist, they will help!


Sending Love <3!!

First of all, so sorry to hear that and I hope things will get easier for you.

To answer your question; I had to go through school counseling due to this issue (Ik, embarrassing). They told me to just keep myself busy and distract myself from stuff that reminds me of sexual things or so. I usually try to get into new hobbies like cooking or playing a musical instrument. Other than that, be consistent on keeping those thoughts away. You can do it and I believe in you!!

hi everyone! to anyone who struggles with this, i think you should surround yourself with people who you feel loved and comfortable with. if you feel like you are only used for sexual affection in a relationship when you dont want to, i suggest you leave it. no one should be in a relationship with someone who doesnt respect and crosses your boundaries. nobody deserves to be treated like this. if you want to stop feeling hypersexual, i think that would help a lot. surround urself with people who love you for what you are. also you could seek therapy or counseling. it really helped me personally.
