I haven't had this high of a sex drive since even before the fire...Masturbating was so much easier at home...now I have a house full of people. I'm pretty good at being sneaky, but I don't have a door and it's easy enough for people to peek in at me. Also, I prefer to use a body pillow and a blanket to climax (and I keep my clothes on to do it)... Obviously, it's all my stuff that no one will touch on my bed, and it'd be worse to leave the blanket and body pillow out where people will touch and grab....to sleep with the blanket and body pillow on my bed isn't totally disgusting if I'm the only one who uses it, right? My germs?

But why the sudden high sex drive? I've masturbated about five times this week, twice in one day. And I am always fantasizing but now it's a strong desire to have sex. I mean, so far I've been sneaky, but I really don't want to get caught, and it's difficult to reach climax with other people in the house and never suspecting when they'll be walking by (my room is right by the front door and so far it's a lot of in and out). Grrr...what do I do?

Sometimes stress can cause a high sex drive. It makes us want to "escape" or "relax" and climaxing can give both. Do you think you're under a lot of stress?

Its mother natures way of saying, you survived, now procreate! pay her no mind!! On a more practical level, any chance of hanging a drapery or sheet or something across the opening to your room?

I like Unaluna's perspective about "I survived, now procreate!" I also second the idea about getting a sheet or something to hang at the doorway, if you don't already.

Have you increased, decreased, or changed medication recently? That might have something to do with it if you have.

It also could be your age. Your cycle. Really, who knows? Does anything here resonate with you?

I miss having a higher sex drive. I used to masturbate everyday. Now that I'm on lexapro I'd say its gone down to about two times a week. I understand how frustrating it would be though to not have privacy like...a door, and living with parents, when it comes to that kind of thing.

I bought a four-panel privacy screen/room divider. It's intended so that people walking through the front door can't see me while I'm in bed sleeping. But dear old grandma enjoys peeking over it at me to say hello or would walk around the privacy screen and into my room...I've already had a couple close calls with her while I'm doing my business. *sigh* Talk about buzzkill.

Before the fire, I masturbated roughly twice a week give or take. Usually because I'm bored. Now I am masturbating once or twice a day and I've got the itch to do it, not just because I'm bored. I think it's stress coming out.
