The causes of hypersexual behaviour are not well understood. However, sex addiction and hypersexuality may sometimes be caused by traumatic experiences, distress, or by mental illness, such as bipolar disorder. Adults who have been sexually abused as children may display increased sexual behaviour.
What drugs cause hypersexuality?
Many stimulant users experience strong aphrodisiac effects from cocaine and methamphetamine use. The combination of increased sex drive and reduced inhibitions often results in compulsive, hypersexual behaviors.
