Stupid question - why do you keep suggesting that having a libido equals hypersexuality?
Is this your trauma speaking, or do you automatically associate any sexual needs with a pathology?
You've done it twice in this thread alone.

- hu3 9mo agoI'm not whom you asked. But it's a resonable association for some cases. But I understand that it would have been better to ask and not associate because it's a fraction of the cases.
- WarmWash 9mo agoIf I told you that I often have a fire in my fireplace, it would be incredibly strange if you suggested that pyromania can be a trauma response. Either OP is confused about what libido means, or has some kind of heavy shame around sexuality.
- hu3 9mo agoYeah, I agree with your sentiment. Sex is awesome and liberating! Should be anything but shamed.
- toxik 9mo agoThat is not what this was. You have been firing your fireplace, now you put on a sweater and you suddenly don't want to fire so much. Maybe that's not bad, but a return to normal. That was the proposition. Is it true, who knows. Case by case question.
- butlike 9mo agoI didn't read their comment as insinuating libido is 1:1 to hyper-sexuality. I read it as: "consider if you have a libido, and depression, you may also be hyper sexually." The situation is PersonA has determined they need an anti-depressant. So one thing is 'wrong.' It stands to reason that they may be using sex as a painkilling mechanism. After all, sex feels great. When the anti-depressant kicks in, the body may determine it doesn't have to use that painkilling method anymore, hence, the decreased libido. It doesn't mean having a libido is bad, it means that the person potentially was overdriving it.
- bflesch 9mo agoThanks for reframing it. That's what I was trying to say.
