I Have Anxiety

It is the exact same with me. Your post and your comment.

@JoanieNewHampshire
I was molested as a child & it left me being hyper-sexual (as opposed to asexual/ little to know interest in sex/ fear of sex). Situations which would normally cause a person's libido to go down cause mine to rise: getting angry/ upset etc
My anxiety is also the result of childhood abuse from family that ultimately left me having PTSD which I've managed to get treated.

You seem to be associating sex with reassurance. Though it can be a good way to find it, as you realize it shouldn't be the only way in your life to find it. Did something happen to you as a child that makes it seem like that's the way to find reassurance?

I know how you feel. I tend to keep to myself during my anxiety moments. Frustrating.

it can be very difficult to control sometimes

That's rough, but not that uncommon.

@sgrl I wondered if that was the case. I had a situation that occurred when I was around fourteen that changed my thoughts about sex as well, (I really had very few "urges" going through puberty). In that situation, a male "friend" of my mom, attempted to have his way with me. (I was a very petite and feminine boy). Though he was unsuccessful (I was pretty fisty) I did develope a joy in being forced into sexual acts from either males or females. It definitely didn't turn me asexual.
