Why Am I So Horny All of the Time?

Why Am I So Horny All the Time

The thing is, being horny isn’t a bad thing. It’s not a taboo, it’s not ‘naughty’ and it certainly isn’t evil. In fact, being horny is a normal feeling that almost all of us experience much more than a handful of times in our lives. And there are several ways you can relieve your horniness that are healthy, constructive, and down-right pleasurable.

Regardless, if you’re one of those people who feel as though they’re constantly sexually aroused, and perhaps you feel like it could actually be a problem (it’s not!), here are a few reasons why you may be experiencing it.

1. A New Love Interest

During the beginning stages of a relationship, it’s all sunshine and roses. The ‘honeymoon’ phase is real, and people tend to stare into each other’s eyes longingly before proceeding to rip their clothes off. 

Why do couples in a new relationship have sex all the time? Besides the fact that it’s new and exciting? Well, a neurotransmitter and a hormone dance around together, namely PEA (phenylethylamine) and dopamine (feeling loved up? You can thank dopamine), causing you to feel more sexually aroused and attracted to your partner. It’s completely normal.

2. Stress

There are a few vices out there that are a great distraction from stress. Things like alcohol, drugs, and sex are commonly used as tools to forget about things for a while. In this case, risky sexual behaviour could be because of excessive drinking, or simply to help relieve feelings of loneliness, anxiety, and boredom. 

In this case, acting on sexual urges is probably not the best idea, and is one of the times in which we recommend using constructive ways to either deal with or distract yourself from your difficult circumstances. Using a sex toy is the safest way to alleviate stress and to curb your horniness!

3. Pregnancy

During pregnancy, especially the second trimester, women are prone to a slew of new and interesting feelings and cravings. They experience immense changes, mentally and physically, and it’s just basic biology to experience a higher sexual libido during certain parts of pregnancy.

For example, the hormones progesterone and estrogen are increased during pregnancy, blood flow is increased to the pelvic region, and the vagina becomes more lubricated. All a recipe for feeling horny. Trust us, this is completely normal.

Fun fact: sex toys are totally fine to use during pregnancy, and we recommend these three for their easiness of use, and ability to create beautiful orgasms:

4. Medication

Some medications have the ability to either increase or decrease one’s sexual drive. For example, certain kinds of antidepressants can repress sexual energy, but once the drug is not taken, the libido almost always returns to normal.

Then there are drugs that can intensify one’s sexual urges. Pills such as Trazodone, Wellbutrin, and Aripoprazole could produce a side effect of high libido (side effect or winning the sexy lottery, you decide).

5. Trauma

Trauma has a very big effect on the brain and can cause some to experience PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). In fact, childhood abuse is sometimes associated with hypersexuality. 

There are different treatments available for those who have experienced trauma, like Cognitive Processing Therapy, which has proven to be successful, or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. 

Feeling horny because of PTSD is not necessarily a bad thing, as long as you are being safe in your sexual encounters. We do however encourage you to seek treatment for the underlying cause in order to live your best life.

    One thing about me, I was never horny until 2020 hit because that where I started being horny and masturbation. I was good in 2021 but from 2022-2023 I was stress out, I am still stress out. I am thinking get sex toy like dildo or vibrator to see what fully stop my masterbation and make me less stress as well.
