Why do I have such a high sex drive?

“Lately I've been thinking about sex all the time, even when I'm busy with other things. Why do I have such a high sex drive?”

Dr. Jonathan Panoeiro
Pediatric Neurologist CRM 1101544-RJ

A high sex drive, or increased libido, can be linked to hormonal changes, regular physical activity, low stress or fatigue, strong attraction to a partner, or, although rare, psychiatric conditions.

Sex drive varies from person to person, and a high sex drive is not usually considered a serious problem when it can be controlled, does not harm relationships with others, does not interfere with daily tasks, and does not put the person at risk.
