There are several factors that can cause high sex drive in males, including:
-
Hormonal changes: Testosterone is a hormone that men need for sexual arousal, and it is typically high in their 20s, which is also when their sex drive is usually high. High levels of testosterone are also common in younger men and athletes using steroids. However, as men age, their testosterone levels tend to decrease, which can lead to a decrease in sexual desire.
-
Neurotransmitter imbalance: Compulsive sexual behavior may be related to high levels of chemicals in the brain known as neurotransmitters, such as dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine, that help regulate mood.
-
Health conditions: Parts of the brain that affect sexual behavior may be damaged by conditions such as epilepsy and dementia. Some medical conditions can also rev up your sex drive to dangerous levels, such as hypersexuality or out of control sexual behavior.
-
Lifestyle factors: An increase in physical activity or weight loss can lead to a higher sex drive. Stress levels can also affect libido, and lower stress levels can lead to an increased sex drive.
Its important to note that what one person sees as a high sex drive may seem normal to someone else, and there is no "normal" when it comes to libido. If you are concerned about your sex drive, its always a good idea to talk to your doctor to rule out any underlying medical conditions.
