Unpleasant Consequences
Hyperactive sexual desire has several names: sexual addiction, compulsive sexual behavior, and female nymphomania. But the symptoms are the same:
- A strong desire to have sex, despite the fact that sexual activity itself brings little or no pleasure.
- Sexual urges are uncontrollable. All this puts a person at risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases. Physical intimacy with different people is used as a way to relieve depression, anxiety, loneliness, and stress.
- This person”s behavior is dangerous and frowned upon by society. However, despite the potential consequences for themselves and their families, they continue their deadly addiction.
- High sexuality can have serious consequences that extend far beyond the threat to sexual health. These include:
Difficulties at work;
- Legal issues;
- Loss of interest in anything non-sexual.
- Low self-esteem.
- Increased libido and mental disorders.

- Dementia. Research shows that people with dementia often engage in sexually inappropriate behavior. For example, they expose parts of their body, say social obscenities, masturbate, or offer them to others. High sexuality affects both men and women with high levels of dementia. In this case, such people require specialized medical care, since increased libido indicates serious problems with the functioning of the nervous system.
- Agitation disorders. A similar condition is typical for women. They constantly experience sexual arousal, which is impossible to get rid of. Even achieving orgasm doesn”t help.
- Rabies. There was a case in India where a 28-year-old woman went to the doctor complaining of increased sexual arousal. Four days later she died. An autopsy showed that the unfortunate man had rabies. Doctors believe the virus caused inflammation in an area of the brain, leading to hypersexuality. Therefore, in case of animal bites, you should immediately consult a doctor. By the time symptoms of rabies become apparent, medical measures may not be life-saving.
- Kluwer”s syndrome — Busey”s syndrome. This is a rare condition that occurs as a result of brain damage. It causes a number of unusual symptoms, including inappropriate sexual behavior, compulsive putting things into the mouth, and unusual reactions of anger and fear.
- Sexual addiction. A person suffering from this disorder is obsessed with sex and everything connected with it. It can start out very innocently — like becoming addicted to masturbation. However, addiction can develop into more dangerous forms, such as prostitution and sex in public places.
