i was wondering, what is hypersexual? i heard it's like when you're really turned on, then i heard it's the opposite. i also heard things like it's genetic (which i don't see how really) and that it's all in the persons mind, and sometimes, its serious and needs to be treated. can somebody explain this to me please?

Hypersexuality is characterized by an impairing need for frequent genital stimulation that, when achieved, does not result in emotional or sexual satisfaction. This dissatisfaction is what is believed to encourage the heightened frequency of sexual stimulation, thus you want more...and more... more often.
Closely related to and sometime looked on as nymphomania, the constant need/want for sexual stimulation.

dont listen to some of those other people.
the prefix 'hyper' means over so it would mean overly sexual. it probably could be genetic because it has to do with hormones, and you inherit those from your parents.
Also, i've never heard about hypersexuality needing to be treated, I suppose if it in any way interferes with your every day life in a way that is harmful than you could take a mood stabilizer...
