I have a high sex drive in general, but it definitely fluctuates. I few years ago, I went through some various sexual and relationship traumas, and it initially accelerated my sex drive (probably as some kind of defense mechanism - trying to take control of my sex life again) but once I got in a serious relationship with my current boyfriend, I started to shut down. I had flashbacks, a huge fear of closeness and intimacy, and couldn't "make love" like couples usually experience. I was very committed to him, but very emotionally detached sexually. I realized all my "crazy sex drive" wasn't super healthy, and am now in the process of re-learning how to have sex like a loving, emotionally attached partner. We've had to start slow, take baby steps, and really learn everything over again - almost like a high school virgin couple just testing the ropes. It's been super helpful, although frustrating at times.... and slowly but surely, my sex drive is getting into gear again - in a much better way! I know it will continue to, and hope it can get back to where it was again - but without all the baggage!

P.s..... Anyone else who's been through any kind of sex or relationship trauma, and wants someone to talk to, or needs some advice.... please feel free to contact me! I don't have all the answers... but can always offer my support <3

I'm 23, but I too have always had a high sex drive. It's a Blessing and a curse. It's gotten me into trouble when I was younger and didn't know any better.
