Could you be in a relationship with someone that is hypersexual/a sex addict?

Could you be in a relationship with someone that is hypersexual/a sex addict?
Not sure if I'd consider myself a sex addict/fully hypersexual but having ADHD does trigger me to be a little more hypersexual than most people. I feel bad for my spouse that he has to deal with me. I imagine it's annoying...

So wondering if other people would be able to put up with having a partner that is hypersexual?

  • hypersexual yes, I've known people like that very well and I am quite aware of the many things that it can imply...

    but a sex addicted person, I am not sure... and I think that's a different concept, because once you imply that there's an addiction, it could mean that there are problematic or destructive behaviours or implications... and depending on the extreme of these negative situations (if they do exist) then I am not sure I would want to be a part of those dynamics because I am not sure I could handle them in the best way possible

    • Hypersexual and sex addict are basically the same thing just different words. Both are compulsive sexual behavior usually coming from issues like depression, adhd and bipolar. And yes lots of risky and dangerous behavior if the person cannot control themselves

    • to me, it would depend on very specific situations and details... depends on how extreme it would be I am sure different people handle it in very different ways, and there are some things I am surely not ready for... while others I've known how to deal with it no simple answer to some of these things (=

  • Hell yeah, as long as she was monogamous with me.

    I virtually lived with a hypersexual, orgasmic woman for over a year. It was the best time of my life. Even though we both worked full time, we had sex at least two or three times a day, and sometimes for hours at a time without pause. I didn't even know I could do that.

    At some point early on, I found a vibrating dildo in her bedside drawer and she admitted that she sometimes masturbated when I wasn't around. I don't know how she even found the time. But my admiration for her libido only increased.

  • I personally could not lol.
    I did go on dates with this one guy who was hypersexual, and he drove me insane.
    I have a varying sex drive. It can be nonexistent or it can be extremely high. Even if my sex drive is high, I don’t want to have sex or deal with someone who wants to have sex 24/7. It would annoy me.

  • Sure as long as they can respect my "no sex during my period" boundary.


    My sex drive varies but for the most part I'm also pretty hyper sexual, so as long as we had some boundaries set down, I wouldn't mind at all lmao.

    • May I ask why no sex during your period? For me that is the best time for sex

    • Generally speaking my period is kinda of a bitch and gives me extremely painful cramps. And yes I know that sex might help with cramps (never tried it) but whenever my body is in pain the idea of sex just completely gets thrown out of the window.

  • Hypersexual, yes, sure. But not a Sex Addict. I just would not purposely choose to marry any addict.

  • Most guys are used to Women “wanting Something right now.” It really doesn’t matter what it is anymore…

    From my past, “why don’t you get a job during the day?…that’ll keep you busy and you’ll have plenty of spending money.”

    It seemed like a reasonable suggestion at the time… 🌋. It was not though 🤷🏻‍♂️

  • Hell yeah and I would prefer it so that they could match mine.

    I did have to look it up whats considered, " hypersexual" and since I like reading smut I may be a contender to be labeled as one but I dunno.

  • its better than the other way around

    I am the hypersexual one and my wife rejects me once she had my children and when i told her i would like to have more sex "More than once a month" she laughed in my face and kind of fucked my self esteem up... We haven't had sex sense and that was over 7 months ago

    SO yeah i don't really see how you have a "Problem" but to each their own i guess...

    Good luck with your sex life

    • Wow that is sad your wife is like that. I've had babies and that is no excuse not to have sex anymore cause of that

    • yeah it sucks but i refuse to quit because of it She's also a hardcore Liberal and i am not so that right there turns me into some kind of immoral unemphatic Trump supporter in her eyes which must be justification enough in her eyes

    • Omg she sounds straight up crazy😂

  • It is possible.
    my SO puts up with me even though she doesn't like that I'm always horny and ready to go.

    Google my username's meaning if u doubt it, I do consider myself to be hypersexual, anything and everything can be a turn on.

    I have to meditate daily for 30-40mins to dial down my horniness and maintain control over my extra-charged up physical needs.

  • I used to be able to, as I was a sex addict too. But in the past year I’ve toned it down a lot. So I couldn’t date a sex addict these days.

    • What lead to that

  • It no doubt is part of what attracted them TO you...

    if your appetites are too demanding, various accomodations can be made
    like 'swingers clubs', 'open marriages', polyamory.
    Can't deal? The door you walked in, swings in BOTH directions.
    No reason for either of you to be conflicted. Decide what's MOST important to you~

  • Yes as long as he was loyal and didn’t use his sex addiction as an excuse for cheating.

  • High drive, yes. Addictive personality, no. It becomes a vice and less personal or rather meaningful.

  • Most people will think it's the dream until they've had it.

    I have.

    It was a LOT of work.

    And the girl wasn't really intersting your or a nice person outside of bed.

    So basically, sex gets old. But if you and your partner have a strong bond and good chemistry both in bed and outside, you can turn it into something healthy where you have a lot of sex together.

  • I feel like one of the things I look for in a woman is someone who's as much of a sex addict as me lol.

    I don't want to change, I would for the right person but I'd like to find someone who looks at sex the way I do.

  • Nooooo! Lol just got out of a relationship with one. He was a narcissist on top of that. That guy cheated on me like crazy.. smh
    We live and we learn though. I'm glad I love myself enough now to not tolerate bs like that anymore.

  • As long as she could channel it into sucking dick most of the time, sure.

  • If she could manage it and exhaust me with it, then yeah, especially of she were sexually dominant.

  • I don't think so I'm too old for that 😂

    • Try some roids bro like X for 10weeks straight no PCT needed for one run

    • @JustiReno I'm in great shape don't need any of that, just not in to fucking multiple times a day anymore.

  • You just have low self esteem if you need other men to validate you sexually. If one man was enough to validate your self esteem then you wouldn't need to risk the relationship seeking validation from other men. You all can't be a Kim kardashian

    • There is also another reason that has nothing to do with self esteem. One that jus includes enjoying the pleasure feeling down there. Like a fat person who loves the taste of McDonald's n can't stop eating them

    • @NiListicIntelectual he/she can stop eating, it's a choice. Takes discipline which is a dying virtue nowadays

  • No. Thanks to the medications I'm on my sex drive is not what it should be, so I honestly can't keep up with somebody like that.

  • It's more a mania, and serial rapists tend have it.

    In women it's more a mental issue and drives some to depression. Though under control it is more nymphomania than hypersexuality. But there is medication and treatment to bring the patient under more self control.

  • Sure, but I'm guessing it would get old really fast. But I'd be up for the challenge for a while, pun intended

  • I would not be able to sustain it.
