Can childhood sexual abuse cause hypersexuality as an adult? I crave for it for 4-5x/day and never feel satisfied. My boyfriend can’t keep up with my libido.

No one can answer that question but you.

Please seek out qualified sex therapists to determine if any of the following apply in your case.

1. It [sexual activity] substantially interferes with day-to-day functioning, including friendships, relationships, work and life-style in general.
2. You use sex to mentally escape from feelings of intense emotional distress (including clinical depression, severe anxiety and intense loneliness brought about by social isolation).
3. You use drink and/or drugs during sexual activity in order to intensify its dissociating effect.

Again, if you don’t think this applies to you, disregard any “advice” you may get, either here or elsewhere. If the rest of your life isn’t affected or compromised by your sexual activity, you may simply have a high libido.

[It] is no easy task to judge when a “normal” sexual appetite escalates to such extremes that it is classified as [hypersexuality].

Get diagnosed by a credentialed professional [M.D., Ph.D., Masters in sexual therapy, etc. — spiritual “therapists” from religious institutions and new-age quacks don’t count].

All the best.
