Hi, I saw some other AMAs on here, so I hope it’s ok to post one too, otherwise I’ll gladly remove it.
I’m a 23yo trans woman and I have Hypersexuality, formerly known as nymphomania. I’m attempting to get an 6C72 Diagnosis under the ICD-11, although it’s unlikely I’ll get one soon.
Hypersexuality combines a high sex drive with a compulsive behavior disorder (to make it clear: high sex drives alone does NOT equal hypersexuality). Due to this, a lot of my life revolves around sex and intimacy. As it’s a disorder, there is also a certain level of distress that comes from it.
Feel free to Ask Me Anything! No questions are off limits! I’ll try to answer everything as soon as possible
Okay, this is weird, I also have that!
I don’t think I have hypersexuality, just a high libido.
But ever since I was young I had this sort of intrusive thought about kissing people. It’s not necessarily when our faces are close, but it is a trigger. It also mostly happens when I first meet someone, and then it dies down.
And it is weird that there is no correlation to how I feel about this person. I had it towards people I dislike, people I find repulsive, etc.
I seriously never told a soul about this as I thought it is a very unique situation. Wow!
I think it’s actually not that abnormal itself. For me it’s just a lot more than an intrusive thought. There were situations were I had to aggressively pinch myself so I wouldn’t actually do it. The marks from that were visible for weeks
That does sound rough 😔
For me it is a slightly compelling intrusive thought, at most I have to shake my head to kind of “shake it out”
