Does my (26f) partner (25m) sound like he's hypersexual?
So I'm a 26yr old female in a relationship with my 25yr old male boyfriend, we've been together now for three years and maybe nine months. For as long as I've been dating him, he's always had a very high stamina and sexual libido.
However when I've tried addressing him head on about the topic of potentially being hypersexual and possibly even some sort of sexsomiac (if that's even a word) he always dodges or shuts down the topic. So now, I decide to ask you the people of Reddit what you think.
Allow me to share some details:
Let's call him Jay. So Jay has shared with me before that he often finds sexual release to be the best form of serotonin or dopamine rush for him. He has stated that normal standard things don't tend to make him feel happy or busy, so that he often finds the best way to pass the time is to masturbate. He has admitted to having no hobbies but to jerking off as a time killer when he doesn't have important things to attend to.
Jay also says that when he's sad, sex or masturbation is what brings his mood back up. I've seen this man lose a job, see a loved one pass, or just be in an outright foul mood but he will often fix it with sexual release. There was one particular morning I was fast asleep while he was working on his bike outside, he shared with me later on how absolutely frustrating his bike was to work on but before knowing this, I had sworn to waking up and rolling over- but seeing him jerking off next to the bed while looking frustrated/having cried. Believe me when I say i was shocked. :')
He prefers we have sex at least once a day and that if we don't, I help him get off. He tries to get off alone and sometimes he succeeds but other times he expresses to me how he will shame himself out of cumming and therefore feels the need to have some support/help when he's getting off. The type of support he has requested is: licking the tip while he jerks it, playing with my boobs whether I'm awake or sleeping, having me fondle or suck his nuts, letting him play with my 🐱 to finish. Sometimes he just wants to suck my tits while he wanks it into my panties. Regardless to how I could be included and whether I'm interested or not, he is desperate to get off.
When I show little interest in helping him he gets frustrated, snappy and grouchy. He watches lots of porn ranging from LOTS of categories (I've seen the pages he leaves open when he falls asleep). He does have his own hidden gallery of photos and videos of us that he uses for pleasure, though I'm never sure how often he refers to that.
He likes when I hold his dick to go to bed. Doesn't even have to be in a sexual way, hes told me he finds a great deal of comfort in me just holding his shaft and sometimes stroking him incredibly slowly. Other times, he prefers falling asleep sucking on my tits.
I'm not sure how it's even possible but in his sleep he has fingered me, jerked himself off, and even tried and succeeded in having sex with me... In his sleep. Did I mention that?? I'm not joking and I don't think he's playing with me. He's genuinely dead asleep- snoring and clumsy with his eyes closed but still moving and responding to sexual stimulation. There was once a night I woke up to him having sex with me but he wasn't aware at all even when I said his name a few times, I woke him up and he was so startled finding what he was doing to me that he began to cry from how scared he was. I just don't think it's normal.
After having our first child together, he was receiving nudes from a coworker. When I caught him on this and asked why it felt so easy for him to accept photos from another woman it was because it was just "another thing to get off with" and that it meant nothing to him.
Sometimes I feel at a loss with how to handle him and his sexual appetite. I'm not a very sexual person, my libido isn't awfully low but it's not as high as his either. I just don't feel like having sex everyday OR always helping him the moment we have free time away from the baby. Theres things I would like to do in my free time that aren't sex related, and now I have to sleep with clothes on. Yet if I say no to him I just feel guilty since I know he's working hard for our little family and I've already known as well how intense his sexual appetite is.
Feel free to ask any questions but an opinion would be nice. I just need to know I'm not crazy. I love him to bits and he's super good to me regardless of our ups and downs. It's just overwhelming at times, the sexual aspect of things...
