The truth? in some people yes, but those that are affected are usually not asking the question. That you are says a lot about the difference.
With or without abuse the thinking occurs as our bodies mature. But when is it unhealthy? Talking with your therapist or counselor, even doctor may give you some guidance.

This can be a symptom of other mental illnesses which may be comorbid with the PTSD. For instance, it could be borderline personality disorder, or bipolar disorder.

I don't think so or for me that is. I was abducted by a total stranger when I was young. I cringe at the thought of sex or being touched. But that's just my thoughts.

I just get scared I might mess myself up more

I think that you might be right Marlene cuz I didn't always feel this way but my doctor says I can't be bipolar

My shrinks called it, "Hyper-sexuality" and I believed the term fit my own, strictly personal symptom from the very first time I heard it. The symptom arose obscenely early in my own development. I had no way of knowing children weren't supposed to love having that kind of power over adults. I was approaching adolescence before I learned what the world thinks of girls and boys who . . . Proof unavailable, but there are reasons to believe the discovery triggered my first catatonic dissociation.

That remains a snotty knot to this day. Menopause has given me some relief from the healthy hormone end of ^it^, but. . . It is a snotty knot, indeed, on more levels than I have words to speak.
