Why getting SA makes me hypersexual?..

Unread post by nics »

I always hate whenever I think dirty stuff at such a young ages.

It start when i got sa by my brother when I was 7yo. because of that I never understand what real intimacy feels like, I just always think how to please my partner in sex, and my mood always depend if I'm sexually frustrated or not.

Hi there, nics.

So, "hypersexuality" is one of those terms that has been making the rounds on social media, and sounds like something that is widely used clinically, but it actually isn't. And for people like sex educators, sex therapists, and other sexologists, it's often problematic, because it suggests something we know not to be true: that there is one "right" and someone qualitative amount of being sexual or wanting to be sexual, and that there can be a universal too much or too little.

In reality, [url="https://www.scarleteen.com/read/sexuali ... yway"human sexuality is diverse, as is human sexual desire and how people do or don't enact their sexuality[/url], so it's both too broad a thing to even try and quantify, period, but we also know that there is no universal too much or too little of any aspect of sexuality, there's just how to feels for a given person.

I'm so sorry that your brother sexually assaulted you.

Without spending a good deal of time either with the help of a therapist or on your own, it's really hard to figure out the impacts sexual assault have or haven't had on us, especially when abuse started or happened when we were very young. It may be, for instance, that your relationships so far haven't developed into deep intimacy yet just because of how young you and your partners are. Sex also isn't dirty, and it's perfectly common for people top think about it: that's not just something we do because we're SA survivors. I can't speak to the rest of what you've said here about feeling frustrated or pleasing partners because I need some more context fro you to do that.

I don't see any questions in your post. Can you let me know what you're looking for help here with so we can figure out what we can offer you here?
