sex drive: 11 Reasons Why You are Always Horny

Why Am I Always  high sex drive?

Some people have a higher sex drive and find it difficult to control this desire. You may end up feeling horny all the time if you have one of the following conditions.

1. Can Bipolar Disorder increase sex drive?

It is characterized by extreme changes in your mood – from the lows of depression to the highs of mania. Hyper-sexuality is often a symptom of bipolar disorder. This mental illness is treatable.

2. Dementia

Your overactive sex drive could be due to dementia. Research shows that people with dementia may exhibit inappropriate sexual behaviors, such as masturbating, using obscenities or exposing themselves. It affects both men and women and is usually common in people with severe dementia.

3. Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder

Women with this condition are always in a state of arousal and do not find relief even after having an orgasm. The feeling may last from days to weeks. Several treatment options are now available, including hormonal therapy, antidepressants, behavior therapy and anesthetizing gels.

4. Rabies

There are incidents where women reported to have an overactive sex drive because they had rabies. Experts believe that it happens because the virus can inflame the brain and make the patient to exhibit sexually inappropriate behavior. It is therefore important to seek medical treatment immediately if you are bitten by an animal.

Why am I always horny? The answer could be that you have Klüver-Bucy syndrome, a rare condition resulting from brain damage. Showing inappropriate sexual behavior is one of the symptoms of this neuro-behavioral condition. Other symptoms include dullness in emotion, short term memory loss and visual agnosia (difficulty in recognizing people’s faces).

 

6. Sexual Addiction

You may have increased sex drive because you have the hypersexual disorder or sexual addiction. You have this disorder if you have experienced intense sexual fantasies, sexual behavior and sexual urges in the last six months. You may also engage in your sexual fantasies and urges repeatedly in response to depression, anxiety, irritability, and boredom.

If you engage in sexual activities in response to stressful events and fail to control your sexual urges despite all your efforts, you are likely to have hypersexual disorder.

7. Hyperadrenalism

You develop this condition when your body produces an increased amount of adrenal hormone. Corticosteroids and many other medications, including epinephrine can cause this condition. A woman may have hyperadrenalism if she has increased body hair and facial hair with loss of hair on the scalp.

A woman may have a high libido due to a rare condition called a pancreatic endocrine tumor. A tumor in the pancreas may lead to excessive secretion of insulin, glucagons, and somatostatin, which in turn may make a woman more sexually active.

Some women experience high libido because they abuse alcohol and drugs. You can correct this issue with the help of a therapist. See your doctor early for a proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

 

10. Can Pregnancy increase sex drive?

The change in hormones during pregnancy may cause a woman to have a high sex drive. Your breasts will become larger during pregnancy and the vulva will swell due to excessive blood flow to the area.

This makes you feel more excited during sexual intimacy and often makes you want more. It is usually common to have a high sex drive during the first trimester and it becomes rather normal as the pregnancy progresses.

Some women start to feel horny all the time during menopause. This happens due to impaired function of the ovaries – the adrenal glands take charge of things and often produce more testosterone that leads to increased libido in women. Testosterone is responsible for stimulating areas of the brain associated with female lubrication.
