Many people lead healthy sex lives and are happy but there are many that do not have enough of sex and are unhappy. Now, there is a third medically recognised condition of people who want to have sex excessively, more than what others can do.
According to an article by Joachim Osur for the Daily Nation, an unusually high sexual desire can occur due to a variety of reasons in a person who faces it. Excessive levels of testosterone are one of the causes for a high sexual desire. The hormone is responsible for sexual desire in both men and women and with high levels the person feels a regular need to have sex, which may not be understood by the opposite sex.
High levels of dopamine in the brain are also another reason for high sexual desire in people. The Dopamine chemical modulates several bodily functions and increases because of the use of anti-depressants. The medicines used to treat Parkinson’s disease leads to an increase in the levels of dopamine in the brain.
Mood disorder or bipolar disorder is another major reason that doctors associate with excessive sexual desire. People often get into a depression, which alternate with manic tendencies and tends to be very active and hypersexual.
