Re: Hyper-sexuality in women as indicative of mental disturbance [Re: Anonymous #1]
    #17589162 -

Certainly, some insecure girls are too shy to sleep around, but there are plenty that try to make themselves feel wanted and better by collecting lovers.  Keep in mind the original topic was not "is there something wrong with women who have a good sex drive?" but "Hypersexuality in women as indicative of mental disturbance," which is certainly the case because it is a symptom of many mood and personality disorders in the DSM-IV and some people even suggest making it a disorder in and of itself:

Table 1 Proposed diagnostic criteria for Hypersexual Disorder
A. Over a period of at least 6 months, recurrent and intense sexual
fantasies, sexual urges, or sexual behaviors in association with 3 or
more of the following 5 criteria:
A1. Time consumed by sexual fantasies, urges or behaviors repetitively
interferes with other important (non-sexual) goals, activities and
obligations.
A2. Repetitively engaging in sexual fantasies, urges or behaviors in
response to dysphoric mood states (e.g., anxiety, depression,
boredom, irritability).
A3. Repetitively engaging in sexual fantasies, urges or behaviors in
response to stressful life events.
A4. Repetitive but unsuccessful efforts to control or significantly
reduce these sexual fantasies, urges or behaviors.
A5. Repetitively engaging in sexual behaviors while disregarding the
risk for physical or emotional harm to self or others.
B. There is clinically significant personal distress or impairment in
social, occupational or other important areas of functioning
associated with the frequency and intensity of these sexual fantasies,
urges or behaviors.
C. These sexual fantasies, urges or behaviors are not due to the direct
physiological effect of an exogenous substance (e.g., a drug of abuse
or a medication)

Thanks for posting the DSM entry and clarifying.

This is an inquiry about neuroses, not horny women.

We too easily forget how sexuality is inextricably tangled with our personalities, early childhood experiences, self-image, and "assumed cultural morality." Physical sexual arousal, then, can be highly psychosomatic (expressing mental phenomena through the body) and channel all the subtle energies in your mind-body that are mostly subconscious.

Psychedelics (surprise!) are great at uncovering this. Here's an entry from Grof's LSD Psychotherapy:

I am bipolar and if I am not on my meds I become insatiably hyper sexual which interferes with my interpersonal relationships and ability to think clearly and make good decisions.

The girl that I'm with right now thinks about sex more often than I do.  :lol:  Totally not complaining though, and although I can't say for sure she was abused when she was young I do know that her dad was really shitty to her and absent a lot of the time when she was growing up.

Sadly, most of the women I know who are hypersexual tend to be that way because they lack the ability to form meaningful long-term emotional relationships with others, not because they're living a healthy ideal of "free" love.

Interesting topic.  I think it really depends on whether you are defining hyper-sexual as an "unhealthy" i.e. detrimental to personal relationships, etc.  level of sex drive.  I've got a pretty high sex drive, but I wouldn't call it hyper-sexual either.  I enjoy sex, and by some people's definition I'm probably a little promiscuous, but I have healthy relationships.  Now, I know plenty of ladies that use sex as a self esteem boost, to forget about problems, because of daddy issues, etc. etc.  and I think in those cases, yes, their over sexuality might be indicative of some underlying mental issue.

Thanks for posting that tidbit, I'm downloading the ebook and giving it a thorough read to hopefully help myself gain some clarity on this.
