I have Hypersexuality. AMA!

(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

Edit: thanks for the questions everybody, I had a great time :D I will still answer more, I just might need some time to come around to them

How did you get your friends to join Lemmy?
- They originally got me into Mastodon as a federated service. I later fled Reddit and stumbled upon Lemmy as an alternative and really liked the Fediverse aspects of it. I recommended it to others and mentioned I had made that switch a few times, so some of my friends tried it out too and made accounts.
  
  I know some still use it rarely and I know they know my account, so I didn't want to run that risk of posting this on my main
How many times have you sexed?
- Many. Although as a trans woman a good amount of that is rather unusual sex
  
  a good amount of that is rather unusual sex
  
  I'd like to know more about this, would you elaborate?
  
  DMHS to that ;)
Is twice a day already hypersexual?
- Hypersexuality is less about the amount you do it and more about your desires and if you can control them. Masturbating twice daily is quite common for teenagers for example (I know some that used to do it 5+ times/day and aren't hypersexual). If you feel like having sex/masturbating doesn't reduce your drive at all or that it might make you do things you don't want or would regret, you might be hypersexual
  
  I see. Thanks!
Here's the real question that has always surprised me with the answers when I've met folks that meet the criteria.

Does it make you happy?
- Depends on what you mean
  
  Having hypersexuality itself? It's just the norm for me, very neutral feeling about that.
  
  If you mean having sex, then yeah, definitely. I still very much enjoy that
how does it manifest? how does it affect your day-to-day?
- For me it means constant sexual desires. Ever since I started HRT (hormone therapy as a trans woman) the reduced testosterone should have killed my sex-drive, but it only reduced my urge to masturbate. The desires themselves (especially desiring other people) are still present and stronger than ever.
  
  It makes me search out sexual situations much more than others. It also makes thinking about consent very important, as I probably would do things I might regret later otherwise.
  
  grats on getting on the e :)
  
  so, do you have self-control or concentration issues? can you mitigate them?

  Women is plural, I'm pretty sure you aren't transitioning to several women since that'd be impossible no matter how cool it'd be.
I have the same thing
- I hope you too will find some ways for yourself to not get abused through it. Always remember that your consent comes first, no matter what the rest of your body says in the moment
Do most trans women have penises?

I am into hole not pole, and I don’t like butts.
- I'd definitely say >75% still have one. Many more than that want a surgery, but most can't get one due to the costs
- It depends on if they've had "bottom surgery" as it's commonly called.
  
  What’s the polite way to ask?
What's your favorite dinosaur? 🦕
- Supersaurus, because....

Can you tell us about one of the worst decisions you've made as a result? How'd that situation turn out?
- Gonna use a spoiler here because of rather uncomfortable content
  
  CW: Rape, abuse
  
  A while back I got sexually abused by somebody and somehow made the stupid decision to just continue that as a "friendship+" for months. Only after a while I realized that this was truly fucked up and that I gave a bunch of consent to things I shouldn't have given it to. Definitely made me learn to prioritize myself in the hardest way possible. He got really manipulative about me putting a stop to it too, which really sucked
  
  That's rough. Thanks for sharing. It sucks that there are people like that who are just looking to exploit others. I hope that you've found some better friends since then and are getting the support that you need.
