Hypersexuality is exhausting when you're ace

SpoilerVent

I'm Asexual, I've felt pretty confident about that label since I was 12 (I'm 23 now), but since the start of this year I've developed hypersexuality. >!Literally was masturbating up to like 10 times a day. Now It's more like 1-3 times a day.!< It's so tiring, and makes me feel so bad about myself.

!I know asexuals masturbate, in fact I'm pretty sure that's supposed to be our wheelhouse in this area lol but I personally feel like it's a waste of my time. It's also a hassle because of the laundry needing to be done, and I always feel guilty and gross because I watch porn with it.!<

It makes me question who I am, if I'm really ace, etc. Even though the word 'sexy' to describe someone has never been in my vocabulary, and I've never met a single person who made me think 'I'd like to have sex with you'.

I feel like it's draining on me emotionally. The libido is too high to ignore, but I don't WANT to be doing things. Does anyone else struggle with this???

I want to be very clear that I know some Asexuals have sex, plenty of them masturbate, etc, etc. This isn't meant to be a hate post or say that Asexuals can't be sexually active. This is just my personal experience with it.
