Constantly horny? While at work, you might find yourself fantasizing about what you and your partner are going to do later that night, or you might be counting down the minutes until you can go home and masturbate until there’s no tomorrow. If you’re ready to go any time, any place, you might find yourself wondering “Why am I always horny?” or “Is my horniness normal?”

Desire is a spectrum, and some people get horny more easily and/or more often than others. If you find that you’re always horny, you might have a high sex drive. While there’s no sex drive norm, you can judge what’s normal for you by recognizing your baseline horniness, or how horny you usually are. If you feel noticeably more or less horny than your baseline, that might feel abnormal to you. There’s no way to define exactly what a high sex drive is since this varies widely from person to person, but if you’re always feeling horny, you might view your drive as high.

It’s important to remember that even if you are always horny compared to your friends, family members or even partner, that’s a totally normal aspect of your sexuality.

Some people naturally have a higher level or lower level of desire compared to others. Making these comparisons almost always gets people in trouble. There really is no standard. Comparing yourself to others sets you up for false ideas on what is “normal,” because, remember, when it comes to your sex drive, you can only judge what’s “normal” in relation to yourself.

Still, you might be curious about why you’re always horny. Next what you should know about having a high sex drive. ‍
