I have tons of fantasies,

Very few involving my husband.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with it.

You shouldn’t feel guilty.

Could be a side effect of one of your meds.

Are you on abilify? Because that can make you hypersexual. If it becomes a problem for you, maybe mention it to your Dr.

:edited to say: I don’t think fantasies are a problem, but I mean if the hypersexuality became a problem, the take it to the dr:

Yeah, I hear you. Abilify can contribute to addiction issues (such as gambling etc.) It has its pros and cons.

Hopefully we’ve managed to help you feel like you’re not doing anything wrong or abnormal by having fantasies :slight_smile:

Abilify made me hypersexual and breakup with my gf. I needed sex every 2hrs and was thinking about sex 24/7.

Its the reason I came off it. No more hypersexuality now on Risperidone.

Hypersexual as a diagnosis: engaging in risky sexual behavior. Making self-destructive decisions around sex. Feeling unable to say no to sexual advances even when you want to, and instead actively participating in/pursuing them. Intentionally seeking out sexual attention from people who should not be giving it to you.

High sex drive: being super horny a lot of the time. Actively enjoying self-stimulation, fantasies, and sex with your partner (or other safe people) to a higher degree than average

I had this confusion for a while also. My meds (gabapentin) made me very easily aroused, but that did not translate into me putting myself into dangerous situations. Just a lot of increased fantasies and “alone time” activities.

As far as fantasizing, most of my fantasies are not about my husband. I would feel weird imagining him in some of my fantasy situations, honestly. Most of my fantasies are things i am not interested in trying out in real life, so imagining him in those scenarios really takes me out of the moment.

i always seem to become hypersexual when starting out on abilify

Ok this may sound stupid but I read somewhere, it is scientifically proven that during an orgasm one can’t have negative thoughts, that said I fantasize a lot to stop negativity going on up there

Thats what I had, not only fantasies. I am lucky to not have gotten STDs, I tested myself twice for STDs after coming off Abilify and after no more hypersexuality. I remember making a thread and users were saying its not true that Abilify can make us hypersexual and they blamed me for being hypersexual. Well :fu: them.
