Lots of people here seem to be confusing hyper-sexuality with what, more times than not, sounds a lot more like a sex addiction or sexual desensitization.
Desensitization - Becoming mentally desensitized to normal sexual situations. This is a threat to those who watch porn a little to much or those that have extremely creative imaginations. When we fill our head with more and more extreme narratives, real-life situations seam less appealing. Over time the more extreme versions we watch or think up in our head begin to feel more normal used and therefore we begin to think of more extreme or sexually ideal aka not realistic situations.
I speak from experience here. Everything in moderation. It’s easy to find the things that make us get off the hardest or take us out of reality. The more often we think of extreme situations, the less appealing real life becomes. The solution? Try to be in the moment your in, not the moment your brain wishes you where in. If you’re watching porn, limit yourself more on how often you watch unlikely/impossible situations. If you’re really into a fantasy, find someone who wants to live out that fantasy in real life rather than comparing an otherwise normal person to a impossible unspoken standard.
Sexual Addiction - Hyper-sexuality turns sexual addition when habits becomes impulsivity. You may have a habit of getting off multiple times a day. However, if that behavior becomes a requirement to function as normal. It is now an addiction. If you become depressed or have anxiety when you haven’t had sex in a few days, or if lack of sex puts you in a bad mood, it’s time to start looking at weather or not you have an addiction. If you can’t perform responsibilities as a normal adult due to sex, you need to seek professional help.
Now, this isn’t an either/or situation. Both of these things can develop easily from hyper-sexuality. Be honest with yourself though.
What hyper-sexuality is to me. I have a high sex drive(duh). It goes beyond that though, I’m fixated on it. Even when I have very sexually pleasing experiences with others, I just want more. It’s not a requirement though. I operate as a normal human being when I need to. I can re-focus my energy on work and other responsibilities. I just prefer not to. Sex is my favorite thing on earth. In my opinion, the fact that I can perform my responsibilities as an adult tells me it’s hyper-sexuality and not an addiction.
