Hii there!! I was wondering I’m hoping this is related to ur page, but since u did a hc of Toby with hyper sexuality, is it totally alright if I ask what it means? I’ve heard it a lot but I’m not exactly sure what the meaning is and signs you have or smth, i hope I’m not bothering u!! Have a great day!!<3

HIHI!! Hypersexuality, also known as hypersexual disorder, or sex addiction, is an obsessive fixation on sex, sexual acts/behaviours, and sexual fantasies. It can be a response to trauma !

(a few) Signs you have it include:

☆ You have repeated and intense sexual fantasies, behaviours, and urges that take up a lot of your time, and feel as though they're beyond your control.

☆ Hypersexual behavior may involve excessive masturbation, having multiple sexual partners, excessively watching/reading pornography, or paying for sex.

☆ You have difficulty establishing and maintaining a relationship with other people, especially romantic partners.

☆ You use compulsive sexual behavior as an escape from other problems, such as loneliness, depression, anxiety or stress.

☆ You feel driven or have frequent urges to do certain sexual behaviours and feel a release of the tension afterward, but also feel shame, deep guilt, and regret as well.

☆ Continuing to engage in sexual behaviors and activities even after they’ve caused harm.

☆ You've tried without success to reduce or control your sexual fantasies, urges or behavior.

☆ Hypersexuality can begin as excessive masturbating while watching pornography, or generally wanting and needing sex, eventually developing into a constant need.

☆ Some have reported having suicidal ideation.

Important!!: Hypersexuality looks different in everyone who has the condition. While one person may mainly struggle with controlling their sexual fantasies, another might struggle with controlling the urge to carry out certain sexual acts like masturbation.
