Hyper Libido

I’ll work as an experienced central agent in your treatment. In therapy, we’ll work through the psychological causes and effects of Hyper Libido together, and continue counselling until you reach the point of renewed sexual energy and control.

We’ll also investigate any physiological causes. I’ll refer you to private or NHS medical professionals I know and trust in the way of identifying and treating the physiological aspects. Together, we’ll provide you with a range of options available to you, while eliminating any harm the condition may have done to that point.

In counselling, you’ll have a safe space to discuss your concerns, and gain the information and confidence you need to flourish.

Rather than sticking to a preset definition based on a frequency and intensity described in a medical manual, I believe in a far more practical approach to defining Hyper Libido. Libido is different for everyone. It’s not up to someone else to know what a normal or acceptable libido is for you as an individual.

I find it more helpful to define a Healthy Libido, instead of focusing on the negative:

“A healthy libido is a desire for sex, such that the person experiences a sufficiently powerful and frequent desire to enjoy sexual function, and where that power and frequency does not cause imbalances in the person’s life due to excess.”

That is quite a sentence! Yet, now it becomes far easier to define “Low” or “Hyper” Libido.

As you know yourself better than anyone, I’ll accept that you suffer from Hyper Libido when you feel that you do, and where a higher libido would not be in excess to the point that it would harm you. I can also help you distinguish between Sex Addiction and Hyper Libido, and make sure that you get the appropriate assistance in either case.

Libido disorders can affect anyone, at any age, for a variety of reasons. There is no shame in suffering from an elevated libido, whatever the cause.

Hyper Libido is caused by either psychological or physiological reasons. Even when it is caused by physiological factors, there is always a psychosexual element that must be addressed to treat the condition successfully.

Physiological causes of Hyper Libido are usually due to medications, neurological conditions, or hormone imbalances.

Psychosexual causes of Hyper Libido are exceptionally intricate and difficult to decode. Pinpointing the exact triggers can only happen through a process of reflection and counselling. Causes can include relationship problems, mania, depression, fatigue, feeling inadequate, sexual fears, rejection, sexual/emotional trauma, performance anxiety, low self-esteem, guilt, pornography, and a range of other factors. It takes time and skill to reveal the different layers of the psyche that are affected, and the reasons one thinks are the cause, very rarely actually are.

Identifying the underlying causes, both physiological and psychosexual, is only half the battle won. Only through a balanced approach that addresses all causal factors and symptoms, can you achieve true healing and freedom.

Unfortunately, no medication exists that directly addresses libido. In fact, a marketing tactic of pharmaceutical companies is to bundle the words “libido” and “erectile dysfunction”. This is egregiously inaccurate and unethical beyond limits. The truth is that no ED medication can affect libido directly. Importantly, PDE5 inhibitors are useless unless one is first aroused. Millions of men around the world suffer from Erectile Dysfunction who have healthy libidos. Equally, millions of men have low libidos and don’t suffer from ED. Please be extremely careful. Taking PDE5 inhibitors (Viagra/Cialis/Levitra/Stendra) when you don’t physiologically need them is extremely dangerous. They will not boost libido and may put you in physical danger without careful supervision.

First, it is vital to begin healing the psychological damage already caused as well as to safeguard against any future psychological damage that would have been done.

During the counselling process, we’ll discover the underlying causes in your past and present, and devise practical frameworks to resolve them together. This process may not be quick, but it is guaranteed to work.

Simultaneously, through a process of careful elimination, physiological causes must either be identified or ruled out.

I will work as a central agent in your treatment. We’ll continue working through the psychological causes and effects of Hyper Libido until arriving at a point where you feel entirely at peace again. At the same time, we’ll investigate any physiological causes together. I’ll refer you to medical professionals I know and trust in the way of identifying and treating the physiological aspects. Together, we’ll provide you with a range of options available to you, while eliminating any harm the condition may have done to that point. If you require medical treatment, I’ll work with you to select the correct treatment provider, as well as to counsel you through the process successfully.

In doing this, we’ll achieve a holistic approach and guarantee that your condition is successfully treated – permanently, and without costing you an arm and a leg.
