Abnormally High Sex Drive

[wellhung9]

I am writing this because my sex drive is out of control. I'm hoping someone on here can help me, because it really is becoming some what of a problem. I know this sounds funny, and not like a problem but I seem to have an erection all the time. I have sex regularly, relieve myself regularly, and still have raging erections in my pants constantly. I literally have days where all I think about is ass, breasts, sex, you name it. I can't concentrate on anything else and have difficulty getting any work done. I can't relieve myself enough, and my dick will be sore from the overuse, yet erections continue.

The thing is I really love this feeling, and if I didn't have to work and finish grad school, I would not consider it a problem and fuck all day long. I have been under the supervision of a naturopathic doctor, and have had my testosterone levels tested. They came back through the roof. He wants to closely monitor them, but I can not afford it as I am on a tight budget putting myself through grad school. he offered me a discount, but it's still too pricy for how often he wants to check them. He mentioned something about needing to be careful while exercising, but I didn't understand why as my concentration is shit these days.

I literally have no concentration these days, and I feel like this "problem" is getting worse/better however I look at it at the time. It takes a lot for self control for me to not just rip my clothes off in public and walk around naked. I gawk at girls, stare at girls breasts while I'm talking right to them, and all other sorts of things that make me look like a pig. I don't understand these uncontrollable urges, and have been known to get carried away on a dance floor. I don't want to take anything to lower my levels however. I feel I am really healthy as a result and it helps me enjoy life. Maybe I need to start meditating, or something in order to relax. Forgot to mention I am irritable beyond belief, and snap at people a lot too. I am able to control getting in fights however. I already smoke marijuana, it doesn't really calm me down like it used to.

Well anyone who has a similar problem, any tips?

Maybe find other interests? Maybe you need to get to a point where you're kinda turned off/disgusted by all of it and slowly limit how much you want it, and eventually you'll subconsciously lower your sex drive.

For me, I'm horny but I don't always need to get off. For example, if I'm really tired, but still really horny. I'd choose sleep over a wank. It's more satisfying.

Maybe you just need to start thinking that way. Other than that, I'm not sure what advice to give you since I don't know much about this issue.

And even though your dick is hard, it doesn't mean you have to be encouraging it by thinking that you need to get off! Move your focus to other things... Watch tv, read a book, make a sandwich!

There are certain anti-depressants that will fix that. Some sex addicts really love them I'm told. Feel like they have their life back and time to do something other than sex. I'm not sure which ones they are but someone on here will know or you can Google it. Good luck.

 

[lordylordy]

I have the same problem OP!
And now I'm in a LDR, so it's hard to deal with this high sex drive without any kind of release.

 

[D_Mister_Meaner]

I have this problem too but only for limited periods, so I'm uncontrolably horny for about 3 weeks, then 2 weeks im not horny at all, and so the cycle goes. I end up doing things I regret in those 3 weeks but just do them again when I'm horny again. I know this is not as bad as it sounds for you as I at least get a break. I've been known to wank for 10+ hours continuously when horny and making my dick very sore. Not great really. Hope you find a solution, maybe become a porn star, you'd save on the viagra

 

[wellhung9]

Don't like the idea of anti depressants :frown1:. Just to make clearer, I'm not really trying to curb my sex drive, but trying to handle it better mentally. Maybe the two just go hand in hand so it's hard to do one without the other, but if i could just find some way to remain calm and focused while my dick and hormones are going out of control. I used to be able to have my sex drive calm down for periods of time, for a few days maybe a week, but now it's just always in high gear. Being a porn star would make the mom so proud, haha. Too bad I'm straight, heard the straight males get paid shit. I don't think I could fuck as fast and hard as they do without busting, but I guess I could always do multiple takes, hahaha.

 

[thetramp]

Has it always been like this, or have you witnessed a development?
Do you work out, sports of any kind, and if so how often?

 

[SpeedoMike]

could be the upper side of bipolar disorder. you may need to see a psychiatrist or endocrinologist. I'm unaware of what a naturopathic doctor does, but you may also neede a full workup by an MD.

or...

stop taking Viagra!

You definitely need to keep that testosterone under control. Abnormally high testosterone can cause other bad shit to happen to the body. As you described it ...you almost sound like a roid user. Roid rage. Except lots of guys on roids...even tho always horny...cannot keep a hard on. Aka: Decca Dick

More Insight Into High Testosterone Levels

For men, high testosterone levels can result in increased heart attack risk, prostate enlargement, acne, fluid retention, increased muscle mass and, believe it or not, low sperm counts. Though not proven, high testosterone levels have been known to cause abnormally aggressive behavior and mood swings in men.

also, further into the article it states that higher testosterone can cause testicle shrinkage. Again...like someone that abuses steroids. Definitely try to get that regulated by a physician.

 

[Sharpone]

This phased out for me when I was in my 30's, although mine was not as bad. I found that exercise (yoga, running, etc.) helped a great deal especially when it came to concentrating. You can also use hypnosis to help with concentration.

 

[Rodin2008]

If u have high t-levels u should channel that to working out at the gym. Raise the amount of weights/lbs. you use.. Body builders use testosterone injections (steriods) to help them build their muscles quickly. Medically also it is know for men to start loosing testosterone levels once they hit 35 which is not only a cause for lower sex drive but also weight gain.

 

[mansizednine]

I agree with OC Muscle Jock -- abnormally high levels of testosterone may signify an underlying medical disorder or testosterone-producing tumor. A naturopath will not be able to treat this adequately, and repeated testosterone levels will track a problem but not take care of it. You need to see a physician pronto.

Certainly the intensity of your sex drive lessens as your enter your thirties and forties. However in your twenties and early thirties to me learning to appreciate my sex drive allowed me to benefit from the drive greatly and not have it rule my life. Meditation allowed me to simply enjoy my cock growing from tumescent to hard as I walked in the sun or worked at my desk. I learned that three or four long and thorough sexual sessions a day resulted in a better sex life and more social personality than when I was constantly driven to find a place to jack off, a partner with which to have a quickie, I learned to enjoy the movie before sex on a date. In short I found my life. Learn to enjoy working in the library with a raging hard on, groove on the soft material of your underwear on your dick head, and when you've finished, who knows, you may unexpectedly get laid. Work to stay in the minute. When high sex drives run amok is when the focus is on what comes next rather than what is happening at the moment.
It takes work, but the result can sure be nice if you allow it to expand all your horizons and redefine yourself in relationship to your sexual desire and your sexual activity.
Mainly, don't panic, don't feel guilty, rather than feeling you have a problem look at it like this. You have a wonderful situation on your hands, use your creativity to make it even better. Study tantra, simply enjoy the feeling of stimulation that exercise gives us, learn to take notes with one hand. Try to keep a smile on your face.

I would get a through physical exam. It sounds like you are having testosterone poisoning, maybe a cancer of the testicles or some other organ like the pituitary at the worst that is causing overproduction.

This is worrying me. How come my naturopath didn't mention this kind of stuff? Could it be that he is exagerating how high my levels are? What is considered too high? I guess I should really go see a real doctor! I have never taken steroids, and my testicles do not seem small, seem to be on the larger side. I definitely don't look like I take roids, as I am on the thin side, about 6 foot 4, and only 183 lbs. I do feel like I experience mood swings though, and it is a bit strange that I haven't gotten a girl pregnant by now(just thought I've been lucky).

It has not always been this high, I remember I've had them checked twice before, the first was in the high normal, and the next one was almost as high as it could be in the normal range. Now this one is outside the normal range, but I don't understand what this one's number actually is. It didn't sound like it was too far outside the normal range, but from what he said even being high normal is still pretty high. The first two were blood tests and the last one was a saliva . The last one that was a saliva test doesn't have the same unit of measurement, but I'm told equates to a higher level than the first two.

I do work out. I'm not as dedicated as some people so it really ranges. Sometimes I'm really into it and go to the gym to lift weights 5 times a week, while other weeks I might only go once, so I'm really inconsistent. I did play sports in high school, and still play sports now. I wasn't good enough to play in college, but still had really athletic qualities like being able to dunk, and hit home runs(not on a major league baseball field). I still play basketball once a week. I play baseball less, because it's so difficult to get a game going, and I dislike softball.

A dangerously high testosterone level is extremely rare.
It happens from time to time to boys who then hit puberty very early and are very early finished to grow. There also are some very seldom forms of tumors that actually produce androgens. But i think it really would be dangerously high your doctor might have told you more about it. But your sex drive could also be a psychological thing, maybe this is the best way your body and mind know to deal with stress and pressure, and it seems like you are confronted with stress and pressure right now, maybe you just need other ways to relax and get away from work and school.
Also sport, especially hard exercises can help not only to release stress but can also influence your testosterone level, at least to a point where you again are comfortable with it again.

Testosterone | This American Life

A great episode about the effects of testosterone. Worth listening to! Free if you click on "STREAM EPISODE"

TESTOSTERONE
Originally aired 08.30.2002
Stories of people getting more testosterone and coming to regret it. And of people losing it and coming to appreciate life without it. The pros and cons of the hormone of desire.

PROLOGUE.
This American Life producer Alex Blumberg explains that he wanted to do this show because of his conflicted relationship with his own testosterone. He tells host Ira Glass that the reasons go back to a girl in his eighth-grade homeroom and the 1970s seminal feminist novel The Women's Room. We also hear from a man who stopped producing testosterone due to a medical treatment and found that his entire personality was altered. (9 minutes)

ACT ONE. LIFE AT ZERO.
The interview with a man who lost his testosterone continues. He explains that life without testosterone is life without desire—desire for everything: food, conversation, even TV. And he says life without desire is unexpectedly pleasant. The man first wrote about his experiences, anonymously, in GQ Magazine. (7 minutes)

ACT TWO. INFINITE GENT.
An interview with Griffin Hansbury, who started life as a woman, but began taking massive testosterone injections seven years ago, and now lives as a man. He explains how testosterone changed his views on nature vs. nurture for good. (17 minutes) Song: "To Sir With Love," Lulu

ACT THREE. CONTEST-OSTERONE.
The men and women on staff at This American Life decide to get their testosterone levels tested, to see who has the most and least, and to see if personality traits actually do match up with hormone levels. It turns out to be an exercise that in retrospect, we might not recommend to other close-knit groups of friends or co-workers. (12 minutes) Song: "What Kind of Man Are You?," Ray Charles

Sorry for having so many posts in a row, just figured out how to do multiple quotes so it wont happen again. What were you're levels when they were high, do you remember? My doctor did say it was kind of a good thing, because as you get older you're levels get lower. I might try this hypnosis idea out, thank you.

A great way to look at it, but now I am worried that I may have a tumor, or something. I'm going to get myself to a real doctor, and have them run some tests to make sure I'm okay.

Wellhung9--I would say get to an MD and get a good check up--if your grad school has a student medical clinic use that one. Also do you play with your nuts a lot and/or hard? This can release testosterone; its why some guys like ball torture and busting so much--the sudden release of testosterone can be a high!
