If being hypersexual is a mental thing...yeah, that would explain a lot. Because I don't tend to think about masturbating if I'm distracted. When we're outside of the house and I'm doing something, I don't randomly start wanting to masturbate. I usually get distracted. Sometimes I'll get distracted by other things that are just as stressful, but still. I think it counts.
But when I'm at home, when I have internet and I have an ability to access the erotica and I'm stressing or I'm bored...I begin obsessing. I think about it all until I either wind up masturbating or I end up writing 20 new posts about the damn topic! This is why I sometimes say that I think I'm hypersexual. It's because I can't always get the topic out of my head once I've allowed it to get lodged in there.
I feel no sexual attraction to anyone else. I masturbate a lot, but I never ever think of real sexual intimacy. Honestly, the idea of seeing anyone nude in real life makes me uncomfortable. I can handle it if I'm nude, but others? No. I'm 21 now, and I don't think I've ever seen anyone fully nude in real life. So the idea of that...deeply stressful and embarassing to me.
This is why I haven't really told anyone my sexuality in real life before. When I told my dad once, he tries to reassure me it was normal by telling me he also masturbates or has masturbated. And that created an awful mental image, one that's basically burned all hopes of me ever trying to tell anyone else in real life about my sexuality. It's not about my dad or anyone judging me. It's about simple embarassment.
But sometimes I wish I could have the nerves to talk to people about it. Because maybe that would help me deal with my sex drive. But I just can't do it. I can't handle it. It's far too embarrassing. I don't understand how anyone's anatomy besides my own works! I've never seen anyone else's genitals! I have 0 frame of reference for other forms of genitalia besides media and wikipedia and stuff. I could probably ask others and fix all of this, but no. I'm too embarased to ever try. sigh...
