Definition of Hypersexualisation Excessive arousal and interest in sex.
Hypersexuality is a proposed medical condition said to cause unwanted or excessive sexual arousal, causing people to engage in or think about sexual activity to a point of distress or impairment. It is controversial whether it should be included as a clinical diagnosis used by mental healthcare professionals. Wikipedia
Hypersexualisation is like a photo-shop image. It looks good but it's fake.
Medical Definition Hypersexuality falls under “Sexual Compulsive Behaviour Disorder” (code 6C72) for ICD-11, while for DSM-5 it is considered a behavioural addiction that can characterise the subject’s pathological conduct and even be a dysfunctional trait in other disorders. The diagnostic criteria advanced by the World Health Organisation on the subject of hypersexuality are: (A) for at least six months, recurrent and intense sexual fantasies, sexual urges, or sexual behaviour in association with three or more of the following: time spent in repetitive sexual fantasies, impulses, or behaviours that interfere with other important (non-sexual) goals, activities, or obligations; repetitive engagement in sexual fantasies, impulses, or behaviours in response to dysphoric mood states (e.g., anxiety, depression, boredom, or irritability); repetitive engagement in sexual fantasies, impulses, or behaviours in response to stressful life events; repetitive but unsuccessful efforts to control or significantly reduce such fantasies, impulses, or behaviours; repetitive engagement in sexual behaviours, disregarding the risk of physical or emotional harm to self or others; (B) there is clinically significant personal distress or impairment in social, work, or other important areas associated with the frequency and intensity of these sexual fantasies, impulses, or behaviours; (C) these sexual fantasies, impulses, or behaviours are not a direct result of medical conditions (e.g., brain tumours or dementia) or substance intake (e.g., a substance of abuse or medication) [3,5]. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10218143/
Many people who are suffering from hypersexualisation are under the mistaken belief that they 'just have a high libido' or a 'high sex drive.' This is most often not the case. A normal sex drive is not an irritation, continually frustrating the person with unwanted sexual pressure. A normal sex drive is under the control of the person - and not vice versa where the person is controlled by the sex drive.
How do people become hypersexualised? While Katie Morton describes 3 major ways, we would also highlight the impact of watching porn on the development of hypersexualisation. Being introduced to porn at a young age and also by being sexually abused, appears well able to cause the condition of hypersexualisation.
People who have contacted MindRewind.vip for assistance with the condition report having been either sexually abused by another person at a young age or they reveal that they stumbled upon porn. Many victims then developed compulsive sexual behaviours but had no idea why they were behaving in such desperate ways. Some sufferers thought that God was 'nasty' to them, believing God inflicted the 'curse of high libido' on them. Other thoughts were that men thought that they would rather be born female believing that if they were female they would be able to get 'all the sex they needed.' Some males develop distorted views about women and become angry when their requests for sexual interaction are declined. These men are reminded that everyone has a right to bodily autonomy - the right to control actions that impact their own bodies. Women do not owe men sexual favours, although when porn viewers consume porn, they also consume false doctrines that porn preaches about women.
In porn, men are 'educated' to depersonalise women, to hate women, to treat women violently and to use and sexually abuse women. These toxic doctrines are wrapped up in attractive fleshly packages so they are not readily detected by the hypersexualised male person. Females also become hypsexualised and often seek validation from men of their value through sexual behaviours and promiscuity. If men will just give a woman with low self esteem or who is lacking in confidence 'the look of male approval' then the woman's goal has been achieved. She doesn't need to continue on with the sexual transaction. She's received her dopamine hit already. She is called a 'teaser' by the men who 'admire' her, but that is not an issue for her. She is satisfied and feels empowered.
This self-focused, self-obsessed behaviour, while common, is not the normal behaviour of a stable, confident woman. A normal woman does not need a man to praise her or to exercise her 'power' over him sexually. Such behaviour is manipulative and it is not surprising that men have complained about this type of feminine behaviour. It's a kind of mind game. It's not honest and it's not a good basis to build a friendship or trust upon. A hypersexualised female is different again. She is not just looking for male approval by displaying her body for his viewing. She wants to have sex with men because her neurotransmitters have become unbalanced, in the same way as a man's neurotransmitters also become unbalanced from disruption to the dopamine receptors caused by continual, repetitive porn viewing. So the hypersexualised female treats the male as a sexual commodity too.
Males and females who worship at the shrine of porn, do not escape absorbing the toxic doctrines of porn.
Some of the doctrines absorbed by the worshippers of the god of lust are:
Women must be submissive to all men in sex. This act of submission has the effect of allowing the self-despising hypersexualised male to feel powerful over her.
Satisfying a women's sexual needs is not necessary and it is not on the male porn addict's agenda, apart from causing the female to validate and praise the man who is always lacking in true self-esteem and self-confidence.
Women must be always available, never critical and never complain about being the victim of physical and sexual violence which is minimized by the term 'rough sex.'
The female is there for the male's 'pleasure' which he derives from humiliating her, destroying her womanly dignity and invading her most sacred privacy. The meaner the man is to the woman, the more powerful he must be.
The more females that the male dominates, the more powerful he believes he is and the more pride he holds in having a large body count of conquered females.
Sex, which is really abuse, is all about men conquering the evil female. She must be subdued.
There must be no emotional bonding between males and females except that the female show adoration, submission and worship of the powerful, dominant, conquering male. There must be a variety of different partners to ensure that no emotional bonding ever occurs. Emotional bonding is bad for the porn business.
Different genres of porn stress different kinds of act, but all porn is violent as it invades human beings sacred, personal privacy and dignity.
Hypersexualisation is a boon to the porn industry. It ensures that the porn industry has customers for life - this is their aim. It targets victims of sexual abuse and those from broken childhoods who don't realise their own value.

Some of the comments written by some viewers of the video appear below. Notice how important validation, power and control are and how they are linked with hypersexualisation after experiencing sexual abuse. All comments are as written by the contributors - unedited by MindRewind.vip
Comment 1 I'm a guy, and I was sexually assaulted at around 7 years old. I got very preoccupied with sex afterwards. When teenage hormones and my bipolar issues started to creep up, I became completely obsessed, and the more I got the more I wanted. The whole time I really needed someone to talk to, but when you're a guy people don't take this sort of thing seriously. I finally found meds that calmed me down enough to think about anything, and I can't express how positive that's been for me.
Comment 2 When I feel the pain of being heartbroken in a relationship...i become promiscuous. I go from feeling worthless to at least feeling valued sexually and having the validation of being attractive.
Comment 3 I was hyper-sexual through my teens and early 20's which led to multiple sexual assaults. Now I can't be intimate and am completely numb from my ptsd.
Comment 4 I was hyper-sexual and now I have no sexual relationships...even forms of intimacy. I have zero boundaries too. For this reason, I cannot trust myself to keep me safe. I feel safe in my body, but don't feel safe thinking about intimate relationships. I don't always want to be single. I'd like to have a safe relationship. I hope one day I will see the light.
Comment 5 I used sex (and prostitution) as a way to punish myself for a lot of years. It was like it wasn't enough to just hurt my self I needed someone else to hurt me. At the same time I felt I had a lot of power, no one could call me a victim if I did i to my self right? If I put out an ad on the pages I would be in control and I could pick who to meet. Those were the thoughts in my head. Still are sometimes. Also it felt like I belonged there, in that environment of selling my body. I was so so tiered but still I could get customers and "work". I though it was the only thing I was good enough for. I've been away from it for six months now but I still have the thoughts. And so much guilt. What about all the others hurting themselves in that way? How could I leave? If I just spend the night with a man at least that person wasn't hurting anyone else. I could write an essay about this I think.. I wont, but thanks for bringing it up, it really needs to be talked about!
Comment 6 I am 17 years old and when I was younger my grandfather molested me for 10 years. It didn't stop until I was on the cusp of 15, and at the age of 11ish I turned to the online world especially the sexual part of it. I was texting men as old as 40-50, sending pictures, doing video calls, do role plays, anything and everything. I sadly am still that way but I am in therapy so I am slowly losing the need to be online for the attention and I know I do it for validation. I can't fully grasp still, that what he did was wrong. This might confuse people, but we only start to form long term memories at 3-4ish and that is when it began for me, I didn't know a life outside of the sexual abuse. Now I only feel beautiful with my clothes off and a man's attention on me. I don't trust men but I desperately seek their approval.
Comment 7 I got raped and beaten the shit out of not long ago and I felt like a crazy person for wanting sex after this, but I think it is a gain controle back kinda thing. This video had such perfect timing, thanks for making me fell better about dealing with my emotions, I dont feel disgusting about my needs and behaviour anymore
Comment 8 I found my fathers poorly-hidden porn stash when I was really young, I can't even remember how old I was when it first happened since my childhood is such a blur. But I do remember reading erotica in elementary school, and one day we were allowed to bring tablets to school and I brought mine in and a classmate saw that I had those books on there. He didn't tell the teacher and now looking back on it, he should have. I feel like there were so many missed opportunities to stop me from becoming who I am now. Because now, I feel like I'll never be able to be intimate with anyone nor will I ever be able to know what sex with love is like. I'm also pretty sure I'm hypersexual because of it. This is all because my ignorant father didn't think it was important to keep me from seeing things like that.
Hypersexuality and BiPolar
Hypersexuality seems to accompany many people who suffer the mental health condition called BiPolar Disorder, but it is not present in all sufferers of BP nor is it suffered only by those with BP. The following video was published about 6 years ago on Youtube, so the information about hypersexuality being linked to childhood sexual abuse is not included in the video, however other interesting information is presented that might be beneficial to those who require a better understanding of the condition.
Bipolar disorder, previously known as manic depression, is a mental disorder characterized by periods of depression and periods of abnormally elevated mood that each last from days to weeks or even for months.
In the above video, the point is made that hypersexualised behaviour is not satisfying. Pseudo-sex or sexually abusive behaviour is not loving or focused on giving love to the other person. It is devoid of loving emotion and such interactions are based on adrenaline, not on the excitement of being loved and cherished. It is the emotional intimacy that creates wonderfully, satisfying sex.
