There is nothing wrong with having a high sex drive or being an overly sexual person. Still, there is such a thing as compulsive sexual behavior, also known as hypersexuality or sexual addiction, according to the Mayo Clinic. Typically, the indication of an actual sex obsession is when it becomes such a significant focus on your life that you have a hard time controlling your sexual desires.
