Hypersexuality and Sex Repulsion

Updated: Aug 5

Trauma can affect sexuality in ways that aren’t often talked about. Two common responses are hypersexuality and sex repulsion and sometimes, people experience both.


Hypersexuality involves intense urges for sexual activity, often beyond “typical” levels. People might seek out sex compulsively, even if it brings little pleasure or even harm. For trauma survivors, this can come from many places:

  • Feeling like sex is the only way to be loved or valued

  • Trying to “redo” trauma or regain control

  • Dissociating or defining themselves through sexual activity.


Sex repulsion, on the other hand, is when sexual activity (or even thinking about it) feels disgusting or anxiety-inducing. This can be linked to:

  • Fear of losing control or being triggered

  • Shame or guilt about sexual feelings

  • Subconscious associations between arousal and fear from childhood trauma


Some people swing between the two or even feel both at once, like being compelled to have sex while also feeling disgusted by it.

Both responses are valid. Trauma can create complex reactions to sex, and you are not alone if your experiences don’t fit the “norm.”

I just realized I have hypersexuality. While I was searching for sexuale repulsiveness. As I feel both of them and I wanted to find if anyone else feel the same. I am 40 and I did not realize that other people do not feel desire and repulse at the same time. I do not know how I never talked about this and thought people have it just maybe boys have it rarely so that is why they don't understand when I explain it. I wish to find people who feel the same. As it can give a lot.

Thank you for addressing such a complex and often misunderstood topic. Hypersexuality and sex repulsion can be incredibly challenging for trauma survivors to navigate, and it’s crucial to have resources like this to foster understanding and compassion.

As someone who has personally dealt with hypersexuality as a coping mechanism, I know how isolating it can feel. Balancing those intense feelings with moments of complete withdrawal or repulsion creates an emotional rollercoaster that can be hard to explain to others.

In my journey to recovery, I found that acknowledging the underlying causes of these behaviors was key. Therapy, mindfulness practices, and even exploring medical support options like generic Viagra for addressing specific physical concerns helped me regain control and better understand my…

I find sex only as a means of reproduction and even then it's disgusting. I don't understand how peoppe can think sex is fun or pleasurable. It's messy and it's gross and private parts should not touch! They're private! And no I was never abused I just think sex is revolting.
