Ah, the eternal question: “Why am I always so horny?” If your libido is cranked up to eleven and you’re starting to wonder if there’s something wrong with you, let us help put your mind (and…well, the rest of you) at ease.

Why Am I So Horny All The Time?

First things first, there’s no shame in feeling horny. Sexual arousal and the desire to get some action is literally an integral part of being a human being – and it’s how you got on this earth in the first place!

If, however, you’re feeling that your horniness is beyond what we might consider ‘normal’, there are a few factors that might be behind it:

Stress

You’d think stress would be a mood killer, right? Well in some cases, stress actually increases your libido, as your body searches for outlets to exteriorise all that cortisol. So if you find yourself fantasizing about your cute coworker during a high-pressure meeting, blame it on your body’s weird way of trying to relieve tension.

Your Diet

We all know that oysters are an aphrodisiac, but it’s not just seafood and dark chocolate that can crank your libido up a few notches. Ginger, spicy foods, and even that triple shot espresso could be contributing to your state of perpetual horniness. In some cases, especially if you’re a bit of a health nut, this isn’t a bad thing; it might simply mean that you simply have a naturally high libido, and your diet isn’t getting in the way of your urges.

Exercise

If you’re hitting the gym regularly and suddenly find yourself with the libido of a teenager, there’s often a connection. Exercise increases blood flow to ALL parts of your body, so while you might think that it’s leg day, it also might inadvertently be penis day.

A New Relationship

Are you in a new relationship? Congrats! Also, sorry about your productivity for the next few months. New relationships come with a special kind of horniness that can make you feel like you’re starring in your own rom-com, so it’s normal to feel particularly horny during the honeymoon period.

Medication

Let’s also not forget about medication; some medications come with fun surprise side effects. If you’ve recently started a new prescription and suddenly find yourself attracted to everything from your neighbor to a particularly curvy fruit, your meds might be playing cupid.

This also applies if you’ve just stopped taking medication; certain antidepressants and antipsychotics are known to numb the libido, so if you’ve recently stopped taking them (under the instruction of your doctor, we hope!) then this can make your libido come back, sometimes with a bit of a vengeance.

Now, while being horny is usually just a fun (if sometimes inconvenient) part of life, there’s a point where it can become too much of a good thing. If you’re finding it hard to focus on anything other than your next orgasm, it might be time to figure out whether your extreme horniness might be coming from a place of frustration, or even a hormonal imbalance. After all, there’s a fine line between a healthy libido and excessive masturbation, and it’s okay to seek help if you’re concerned.

What’s a Normal Level of Horniness?

Here’s the thing: “normal” when it comes to sex drive is about as well-defined as the plot of a David Lynch movie. What’s normal for you might make someone else feel like they’re starring in a Viagra commercial, so the key is to find a balance that works for you and doesn’t interfere with your daily life.

Cultivating a Healthy Libido

If you’re tired of feeling like you’re constantly auditioning for a role in an adult film, there are ways to manage your libido. Exercise (yes, more of it), meditation, and finding non-sexual hobbies can help. And hey, there’s always good old-fashioned self-love. Just remember to give your genitals a break occasionally – engaging in an unhealthily, excessive level of masturbation can make it more difficult to get intimate with a partner.

And if you find that excessive masturbation has impacted your sexual confidence with partners, you can always try out a penis pump to give your member a boost! Just take a look at these before and after results of penis pumps to give you an idea of what you can do with these pumps.

The Bottom Line

It’s simple: being horny is a normal, healthy part of life. Whether you’re a once-a-month kind of person or a three-times-before-breakfast enthusiast, what matters is that you’re comfortable with your level of desire. If you’re happy and not hurting anyone, then rock on and enjoy all of the pleasures that life has to offer.
