Question for those who are Hypersexual.
Question for those who are Hypersexual.
So I know that despite the classic portrayal of an autist being someone who is asexual, many of us are at the opposite end of the scale. Yet if you search for Lemmy communities, there are several for asexual folk and none for hypersexual folk. Is there any good resources for us to rant/support each other/talk about our struggles? If it were specifically for neurodivergent folk, that would be a great bonus.

I don't know of any resources, and it's definitely something I feel like I can't talk about. You aren't alone!
Because you aren't hypersexual or because it's taboo? Your name suggests you're pretty spicy 😜
:P It's a little of both - I've cooled off a lot now in my late 30s, but I had a very hard time as a child and into my teenage years. It's the events from back then, and the choices I made during that time that I carry a lot of shame about.
Hey! There's two of us!
I don't have a lot of shame though. I've come to peace with it. I have a condition that doctors absolutely refused to treat, and I had to self-medicate.
If I had been allowed a real education instead of fucking abstinence only crap, I wouldn't have been sobbing into my pillows at night because I was burning alive and didn't know what to do. And then I wouldn't have seized so hard on what I thought was the answer!
The decisions we made were the best we could with what we had. I wouldn't hold any judgement for someone else who did the things I did, only sympathy, and I don't want to be a hypocrite so I treat myself with sympathy, too.
You see I'm also in my late thirties and there has been no let up. It's just a constant stream of detailed sexual thoughts about so many different people. It's debilitating.
