And I am so proud of myself. 

I’ve always had issues with hypersexuality and it’s caused me a lot of hurt and trauma over the years. After quite a lot of pain last year, I decided I was going to take time to heal a bit and get a handle on my mental health before having anymore sexual or romantic encounters. And I’m doing it!!

No promiscuity at all. No sexting, no hookups, not even kissing or dates. I haven’t gone more than a couple months without sex in over a decade, since I started having sex. Until now! In October it’ll be a whole year.

I do kind of long for a partner still, but I’m super comfortable waiting until someone I’m reeeeally interested in comes along, rather than settling just to feel intimacy.

Of course, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with anyone who enjoys being hypersexual, but for me I realized it was causing more problems than it was solving and I’m just really proud that I’ve done this for myself!!
