What is sexual desire?

Many people are in a confused state when it comes to some issues regarding sexual desire. Young friends who have not experienced sex do not have any sexual desire, but if they have already experienced it, it means that sexual desire exists. Normal people can have sex 1 to 3 times a week, but when you get older, you should pay attention to controlling it to twice or once a week.

Hypersexuality refers to excessive sexual desire that exceeds normal sexual desire, frequent sexual excitement, an urgent need for sexual behavior, increased frequency of sexual intercourse, and prolonged sexual intercourse.

Young people normally have sex 1 to 3 times a week. Newly married couples or those reuniting after a long separation may have a slightly increased frequency. It is completely normal for sexual excitement to be more frequent.

The main cause of hypersexuality is the enhanced excitement of the sexual center, but most of them are physiological changes, or insufficient knowledge of sex, followed by endocrine deficiencies; for example, 10% of male patients with hyperpituitarism have decreased libido, but in the early stages of the disease they have hypersexuality. In addition, mania, psychosis, or certain chronic diseases, mental factors, such as repeatedly watching pornographic novels or movies, passionate love, and excessive sexual stimulation can also lead to hypersexuality.

Unmarried young people lack sexual knowledge and often experience sexual center excitement due to external stimulation, but cannot get sexual satisfaction, resulting in more frequent and longer penile erections. After marriage, the woman lacks sexual experience and is shy and nervous. During sexual intercourse, she cannot bear it before the man reaches orgasm. The frequency of sexual intercourse increases and she thinks this is "hypersexuality." These are not true hypersexuality. Clinically, patients rarely seek medical treatment for hypersexuality, as most cases occur during adolescence or early adulthood.
