Is it normal to constantly crave sex

72% Normal
8 Comments

I was raped 5 years ago and since then I have constantly felt the need to be sexual with my significant other, I am unable to just cuddle or be close to him without attempting to take it further. He is beginning to get tired of my advances and says I should seek help. I personally don't want to have to talk to a therapist about this issue as I don't wish to relive the pain of my trama but it is getting in the way of our relationship.

    Hard to know, depends of the amount of time you want sex for a day. But answering directly the question, no, it's not wrong wanting sex constantly. But it's also not wrong not wanting sex all the time. You need to see if you and your partner have different sex drives an if it turns a big problem you two could search a couple therapy

    Im like you in that I crave sex all the time. Now I'm sorry you were raped. I left my ex wife cause she didn't want sex anymore,and I did. I think you and I,if we met or knew each other would make good fuck buddies

    I was married to a woman for 24 years who didn't enjoy sex with me. I got so tired of asking her for sex. I finally left her and met a good woman. I wish you the best.

    I'm somewhat confused about the "connection" between the rape, and your 'craving sex', to the point your partner is bothered, by it.

    What am I missing ?

      Because she would need to talk with her therapist about her need for sex and it would need to bring other life issues regarding the issue if she is being honest.

    That's why there's the saying "sex is addictive." If you had no real sexual encounters before the rape, then it's probably that you are now addicted to sex.

    You don't wish to relieve the pain of your trauma? Did I hear that right?

    I thought based on the title that it would just be another horny guy wondering if it's normal to be that horny, but you sound like you actually have a serious problem. The fact that you were raped is likely a factor even though I don't see how that would make you ONLY want sex, usually rape makes things go the other way around I reckon. Either way it doesn't sound like a fun situation for your bf so even If you don't want help yourself, I would get help for his sake if you care about him.

    I think you need to seek the help of a therapist who has experience working with victims of trauma as well as sex, and relationship issues ASAP!
