‘Why Am I So Horny’- Reasons For You Being Turned On All The Time

‘I can’t keep calm. I am HORNY’

Aren’t we always always always thinking about SEX? Come on guys, maybe not all of you (literally all of you but for the sake of decency…) but this one’s for all of you who can’t stop wondering ‘why am I so horny?’

Let’s do this, I mean let’s find out why…

Don’t worry; it doesn’t mean you are obsessed with sex. There is a perfectly scientific explanation behind it. Although being erotically charged is not wrong, it is the natural flow of human life. However, it can become a problem when you find this emotion hampering every activity.

If you are the desperate reason behind your ‘Always Horny’ mindset, or the kind of horny you are [Yes, there is more than one kind. I was equally surprised!] then keep reading. Whether you are just curious or want a solution, we have all the answers.

What Does Horny Mean : Is It Just A Phase Or Is It More?

Before answering this universally important question, we can all safely agree with the ultimate hottie, Joey Tribianny (played by the very talented Matt LeBlanc in Friends), ‘Erotically charged is college talk for horny.’ The word horny is an informal word you use when you want to describe your ‘needs’ and NO you are not weird for feeling that way!

Having a sudden sex drive or being super excited about the act of sex is called being horny. The moment you say you are feeling ‘horny,’ it is like your sexual organs are conversing for you. Scientifically (as promised), this happens due to the high secretion of libido, estrogen, and testosterone. 

In simple terms, it is that nerve-wracking tingle that you feel, which puts your sexual drive into motion.

What Are The Different Kinds Of Horny

Yes, we understand,

When you ask ‘Why Am I So Horny,’ you either want a quick answer or are frustrated from constant arousal. But maybe knowing about the different kinds of arousal will help you identify your problem.

Here are the different kinds of horny which you should know about. Of course, some of them are really bizarre, but if the shoe fits!

1. ‘I Am Listening To Doja Cat/The Weeknd’ Horny

Today’s Mood: Horny!

These two are like the kings and queens of sexual music. Giving rise to all our fantasies with a few beats, lyrics, and of course, their mystical voice. I don’t know about you, but most of us feel surreal arousal whenever we hear these two.

They even have a duet that can give you all kinds of chills and tingles!

2. ‘I Just Saw A Cute Guy Who Is Sentimental’ Horny

Two people, one thought : I am horny!

The ladies can vouch for it. Seeing a cute guy who also shows sentiments makes you feel some type of away. This is a sudden heavy infatuation that can heighten endorphins and libido in your body.

Generally, it doesn’t imply that you want to indulge in any sexual activity with that person. It just means you are aroused by a certain personality type. If this person is lingering around the vicinity, you are always horny gorl.

3. ‘I Need A Quickie’ Horny

I am horny and I kinda want your attention…

This is when you are craving meaningless sex. Either you are going through frustration and need some brainless physical activity as a distraction. Yes, there is exercise, but what could be better than having an orgasm?

It is a natural stress buster!

4. ‘I Am Curious How That Would Feel’ Horny

I was wondering how your clothes would look on my bedroom floor…

Let’s say you have just seen or read about something. If you have an active sex life, it is very easy for you to feel horny and want to try it.

So, before you ask, ‘Why am I so horny?’ try to decipher previous activities which might have led to this stage.

5. ‘I Am Feeling Like A God/Goddess’ Horny

I want to tease you before I please you…

Our over-heightened hormones are one of the main reasons for sudden arousals. Any sexual activity is supposed to release happy hormones within us. So naturally, when we feel delighted either for success or a happy moment, we tend to get more turned on.

At times like this, the sexual act or someone wanting to indulge in the act with you becomes like a boost of validation.

6. ‘I Got Super Drunk’ Horny

Me & You. Bed Right Now!

Unless you are a sad drunk type, no other drunk type doesn’t make you feel horny. Experts say there is a scientific explanation for this, and we will delve into it further in the article.

When you are heavily intoxicated by alcohol, your lower inhibitions generally elevate your sexual feelings.

7. ‘I Am At Work & I Don’t Know Why’ Horny

I am putting you on my to-do list.

Many would admit it, and many won’t! But, sometimes at work, when you are working on a project which cannot even be remotely related to sex, you suddenly feel tingles down there.

It is nothing but coffee and too much stress. As a result, most of your pent-up emotions are transferring to your sexual organs.

8. ‘I Just Broke Up And I Need Sex’ Horny

No, no food. I want Sex. Bring me some Sex.

You just ended your serious relationship and you can’t help but look for someone to hookup with. And that also explains your ‘why am I so horny’ query. People respond to grief differently (or happiness?).

In your case, it is highly possible you are responding with strong sexual urges!

9. ‘I Am Lonely And I have Needs’ Horny

I’m not saying sex is all I want, but I’d sure love to do it with you

Yes we have all been here and it’s safe to say we have all done this! When you have been single for a long time, you are bound to get lonely at times. And of course, we are not talking from a self-love-point-of-view but rather in terms of your needs.

We have all needs and sometimes those needs can just make you horny more than you thought was possible. It’s okay, hang in there – this too shall pass!

10. ‘I Am On Vacation’ Horny

Is it horny in here, or is it just me?

New day. New place. And New Partner? That’s exactly how your vacation should be! Just the right amount of sex and your trip will be a little more trippy than you had imagined.

If you are on vacation right now and you can’t stop wondering ‘why am I so horny?’ then it’s probably time for you to go socialize. The night’s young, and so are we!

Answering The , ‘Why Am I So Horny’ Question

Suppose you have picked one of the above pointers and still haven’t been able to understand the reason. Well, then we should stop joking and get to the scientific explanation.

1. Your Food Choices

If you find yourself always horny or end up asking yourself, ‘why am I horny lately,’ your diet is the first thing you need to check. Some food tends to be more aphrodisiac which can induce sexual feelings.

Studies have shown that high amounts of cheese and chocolates can make you horny without any definite reason. Of course, it is great to consume them before having sex, but when you are doing important work or doing some other physical activities, try avoiding these food items in bulk.

2. Excessive Intoxication Due To Alcohol

This doesn’t fall into the realm of always horny unless you are consuming too much alcohol every day because then there is a problem. However, you are bound to feel horny when you are heavily under the influence of alcohol.

This effect is gender neutral because of one hormone known as testosterone. The secretion of testosterone increases when you are intoxicated. This is responsible for restricting you from making rational decisions.

3. You Are On Your Periods

‘Why am I So Horny’ is such a common question every lady is asking themselves during their menstrual cycle. This arousal can also be a symptom of your PMS [Pre or Postmenstrual Syndrome]

There is no proper scientific explanation for this, but experts have some insights. Women have a surge in their libido during ovulation or when the egg sheds. Now with the hormones fluctuating at such a rate, you are bound to feel a little frisky.

4. You Are Pregnant [In The Second Trimester To Be Exact]

Your late first trimester and the beginning of the second trimester is the honeymoon period of pregnancy. OBGYN says that this is the time of high libido secretion, which can make you feel super aroused.

Remember that it is completely normal if you find yourself saying, ‘I’m horny all the time,’ during these nine months. It is also suggested to indulge in some light sexual activity to ease this elevated hormonal change.

5. A Full Bladder

This is especially for females because of the structure of their anatomy. Because their Urethra, ovaries, and clitoris are in the same space, a full bladder can press on the arousal spot through the clitorises.

This is the kind of arousal that will vanish immediately after you urinate. So, again not ‘always horny’ just for the circumstantial time being.

6. The Season

Yes, the season plays an important role in determining our sexual arousal. So if you are asking yourself, ‘Why do I feel hornier than normal,’ then it is probably winter. Contrary to popular beliefs that a man is always horny, their sexual arousal lessens during the summer seasons.

While the Autumn and winter season approaches, they again find themselves asking, ‘Why am I so horny?’ There has been no scientific explanation for this, but studies have shown that men are more inclined to hyperarousal when the weather gets colder. It could be the dire need for warmth.

7. You Are In The Honeymoon Phase Of Your Relationship

‘Why am I so horny’ This is something you find people who just got into a relationship say a lot. This is the honeymoon period when we are so heavily blinded by the state of infatuation that our libido is high.

This is the time when you cannot keep your hands away from your partner. However, when the normality of the relationship ensures you won’t be feeling like this anymore.

8. You Have Hypersexuality

Now coming towards more serious subjects. If you are finding yourself unable to control your urge to have sex, no matter the time, you need professional help.

This is a compulsive sexual behavior that prevents the person from controlling their sexual behavior. They can lead to frequent masturbation, porn addiction, cybersex, and multiple sexual partners.

9. Too Much Masturbation

You do not have to suffer from hypersexuality. Too much masturbation can be caused by many reasons. One would be because you are always aroused; another could be the monotony of boredom that is happening during the pandemic.

Another would be the lack of sexual partners which can help you relieve the frustration. Too much masturbation can cause constant arousal because, in a way, your body is craving it.

10. Porn Addiction

Another serious issue which can make you feel aroused all the time. Therefore, before you ask ‘Why am I so horny.’ again, ensure to check your porn habits.

What is the total time you spend on an explicit website, the number of videos you are watching, or are you getting bored with the vanilla categories? Because in a way, your body is immune, and this is when you should consult a psychologist or an expert.

11. Oh My Hormones

Even when you are not on your periods, it is highly possible that your sex drive has gone into overdrive. Thanks to your raging hormones, you can’t stop craving sex!

You might be going through menopause and your hormones are going crazy! Are you going through menopause and constantly asking ‘why am I so horny?’ well thank your hormones…

12. Stress

Many of you might have been feeling horny as a result of too much stress in your professional or personal lives. Too much on your plate? A bad divorce? Annoying boss?

There could be so many reasons behind your stress. And there will so many ways in which your body will seek relief – sexual relief is just one way! That explains your ‘why am i so horny lately’ query!

‘Why Am I So Horny All the Time?’

You already know the general reasons that make you horny. But what is the main reason for you being horny, it’s your libido. Your sexual drive or libido is the main reason that makes us horny all the time.    

Every normal person has a sex drive; some might have it more than others. Some prioritize their sex drive by engaging in sexual acts. At the same time, others try to suppress it by not engaging in sexual acts.   

If you are aroused more often, then you have a higher libido than others. So, to answer your question, ‘Why am I so horny all the time?’ It’s because of your high sex drive.  

How To Lower Your Sex Drive?

Here are some tips on how you can lower your sex drive.  

Regular Sex  

If you are in a relationship, you can engage in sexual activities to satisfy your body’s needs instead of suppressing them. This will help you overcome your frequent arousal and lower your libido as well over time.  

Masturbate

If you are not in a relationship, then try masturbating to overcome your arousal. This helps you function properly after you have gotten your release. Your body’s needs should not get in your work or commitments, so take care of it first to avoid disturbance.  

Exercise  

You can exercise every day to lower your sexual tension. When you work out, your pent-up energy gets used up, along with some sexual tensions. At the same time, when exercising, hormones and chemicals are released into your body that divert your body and mind. Your sexual hormones are minimized and directed towards other productive things.  

Find Creative Ways Other Than Sex To Satisfy Your Body’s Cravings  

Try minimizing your arousal by engaging in activities that are not sexual. Engage in hobbies that you love and distract your mind from your overdrive libido.  

How Much Arousal Is Excess?  

Are you worrying about your excess arousal during sex or any time you are attracted to someone? Want to know how much arousal is considered excessive? Then, keep reading. Being horny is normal, but when to consider it excessive, you might be thinking that.   

Each person has different sex drives, and it’s a healthy thing for our body. Our bodies are built to procreate new lives, especially for females. So, it’s natural for women and men to feel frequent arousal when they are reaching or reached their physical maturity.   

But when your arousals create disturbance in your daily activities, that’s when you know your arousals are excessive. Are you getting horny constantly, even while doing a non-sexual task while at home? Then, it’s time to consult an expert.  

Consider talking with a sex therapist or doctor about your frequent arousal to know the cause. Excessive arousal can be a reason for some underlying disease or excess hormone secretion in your body.  

If you are aroused frequently and have a constant urge to engage in a sexual act, then you might immediately seek help. Taking to a medical professional or sex therapist can help you overcome the urge. Therapists and medical practitioners might also provide you with the actual reason for your constant sexual arousal.
