Hello,
I (24F) have been in a state of what I’m describing as compulsive sexuality for the past 4 months. For context, I ended an 8 year relationship and had only slept with this one person before summer 2022.
I’ve been finding I have a compulsive urge to use dating apps, meet up with random men and sleep with them within the first meeting. At best, this happens once every weekend and at its worse it was happening with 3-4 different men in one week (multiple contraceptive methods used).
Some of these men I’ve seen more than once, most of which it’s very much a one night stand and nothing more. On the whole, the sex has been pretty mediocre and has left me feeling hollow afterwards but I cannot get out of this loop. If I have a weekend coming up, or I’m in on a certain evening with no plans, I feel this rising sense of panic until I’ve locked in a plan to go and have sex with someone. I’ve deleted the apps so many times, but as soon as I have a shit day/week I just redownload them. I even have gone to the extend of finding people IRL to have sex with during periods without the apps, it doesn’t do anything to stop me acting on this urge to have sex with literally anyone.
I’ve been seeing a counsellor for the end of my relationship and we’ve spoken in depth about these hypersexual urges, and think it’s a combination of not being able to accept attention in other parts of my life from friends/family and feeling lonely after my break-up.
Has anyone ever experienced a similar thing? I feel so lonely and go to great lengths to hide the amount of people I sleep with from friends and family for fear of judgement – it is a deeply shameful part of my life at the moment.
Thank you
