Extra horny while not on menopause

I’ll preface this by saying that I always suspected that I have some issue hormone wise. But please let me know if this is just high sex drive.

I had someone ask me this before so I’ll just add the info: I do not have PCOS (doctor checked), I am not overweight (petite and physically active), I am not depressed (have a therapist). My horniness periods do not seem to have any logical time frame with my menstrual cycle. Without any form of hormonal birth control I feel mentally healthy and normal.

I’m around mid 20’s, when I was a teen I developed this very high sex drive for periods at a time and would masturbate 3-4x a day (each time reaching for multiple orgasms up to 4 times). My hair started getting greasy fast, then I had cystic painful acne etc, fast forward started taking birth control and while it did stop the greasiness and acne it killed my sex drive and made me feel horrible mentally.

I felt paranoid, emotionally unstable and just shitty altogether. I took that for a few years because I was in a relationship, but when I finally quit (maybe 10 months now) I could feel the shift, my hair started getting oily faster (could go 3 days no wash now I have to wash every single day), skin oilier again (I’m on tretinoin so I can’t check that so much), my emotional vulnerability went away but now I am horny yet again. Before that I went through a normal/low sex drive period. I am so used to this shift that I can sense it coming.

I went to gynecologists through the years, it was hard at first since I was moving from one country to another, but basically I was told that “women experience hormones differently” and that was it. One kept shifting me from one pill to another and that really sucked.

Is this really normal? I spend a few months with my scalp looking fine and being “ok” sex drive wise, but I get to some random time when I need to wash my scalp every single day and my mind is filthy checking guys out constantly. When I’m in the horny period I try my best to keep my porn usage strictly under control (since I don’t want to get addicted).

I saw a comment about how women in my country might have higher testosterone than usual, is this possible...? Could cultural diet really influence sex drive that much? When I moved away I was not having my usual diet, still horny though. Sorry about this massive text.

The difference between being right and being understood

My boyfriend and I are 28. We’ve been together for about 1.5 years and recently moved in together. He’s a pretty patient and easygoing person (Type B) whereas I’m more particular (Type A). Of course there are two sides to every trait, and my Type A nature benefits us in some ways too. Like all couples, we have differences in perspective or preference. When this happens, he will usually say something like “I disagree (with your perspective) but fine.” I tend to push the issue in an attempt to get him to understand where I’m coming from. This escalates the disagreement into a fight because he perceives it as me trying to be “right”. I truly just want to be understood (and I want to understand where he’s coming from) so I’m looking for more of a dialogue whereas he avoids conflict and just wants it to be over as quickly as possible. His general approach is “agree to disagree” but that doesn’t make sense to me when it’s an issue that will keep coming up and requires compromise. I’m n...

My (27f) gf (27f) is getting tired of me not sharing intimate/ personal info about me

I’ve always been extremely private and introverted. We have more than a year together and we’ve been living together for like 6 months, we get along pretty good and I’m really in love with her, however I can not seem to open up... and I can tell it’s frustrating to her by the way she tells me it bothers her that she feels she’s the only one committed and the one that’s always sharing... At this point I don’t even know if it is that I’ve gotten too used to it, to the point I’ve became lazy to talk about myself or give any genuine personal opinion... it sucks, really, I need to communicate better... Where do I start? Tl;dr: I can’t be completely intimate with my gf and its frustrating her, I need to communicate better because I really love her... where to start?

My (23M) girlfriend (25F) relationship is confusing to me. I might be the problem, or maybe we are just incompatible.

I met my girlfriend after a few serious breakups that led me to change both intentionally and unintentionally over a few years. For better and for worse. She had just gotten out of an engagement with a verbally and physically abusive man who had a cocaine problem. We have been together about 8 months now. We hit it off and spent a lot of time together but she began to push our relationship as if there were a time clock for milestones. I was pressed beyond my comfort zone and went with it because of my affection for her. My living situation fell apart and I lost a few thousand dollars to shit roommates right around the time she and I met and she offered to let me stay with her. I agreed with some resistance. I pay for food, help her with bills, and throw money toward rent while trying to get back on my feet. As long as we have been together she has gotten more possessive, angry, and irrational. She is dealing with shit from her engagement and I feel shes looking for a level of seriou...
