A Correlational Study of Hypersexuality as a Trauma Response in Indian Young Adults

In India, a nation with a complex socio-cultural landscape surrounding sexuality, understanding young adults’ mental health responses to trauma is crucial. This study delves into the potential correlation between hypersexuality and trauma in this demographic. Trauma can leave lasting scars, and coping mechanisms can be multifaceted. This research investigates whether hypersexuality emerges as a coping strategy for young Indian adults grappling with past traumatic experiences. Employing a correlational design, the study will examine the potential link between self-reported traumas and hypersexual behaviours. The findings hold significance for broadening our understanding of how trauma manifests in this specific population. Shedding light on potential under-addressed mental health needs, the research explores hypersexuality as a coping mechanism. This knowledge can inform the development of culturally sensitive therapeutic approaches to support young adults in India who have endured trauma. By acknowledging the potential link between hypersexuality and trauma, the study can pave the way for more effective interventions and improved mental health outcomes.
