I have become significantly hornier over the last few years and am happy to explain how I did it if you like?

It's only somewhat related, but have you read https://geniesloki.wordpress.com/2020/02/04/dating-advice-for-guys/ … ? I'm sortof assuming from the question that you're single. If you're not, post might be useful anyway. It's much easier to become hornier if partnered or believing in the possibility of becoming so.

But roughly in my experience there are two things that stopped me from becoming hornier: 1. It didn't feel especially useful. 2. It felt bad / inappropriate.

On (2) I'd basically internalised a lot of stuff along the lines of "being attracted to people is bad", on (1) there was a certain level of... there didn't seem to be much point? Like what was horniness instrumentally for if I wasn't likely to be having sex anyway?

So basically the route out was to a) Uncover and clear out a lot of emotional garbage that was preventing me from experiencing or expressing attraction to people and then b) Internalise the idea that attraction / horniness was to be rewarded.

It's a super annoying book and mostly aimed at women, but the book "Come as you are" is a useful model of sexuality and how this sort of thing works, which might be helpful if you can overlook its shortcomings.

One thing that I found particularly helpful in it was the idea of concordance. Roughly, your brain can be horny and your body can be horny. Each tends to feed the other if you let it, but being "properly" horny requires both to work in sync.

Guys tend to heavily overidentify with the body side (crudely: they don't feel like they're horny in less they're hard) and so tend to neglect the brain side of things, and it can be worth trying to cultivate both. Essentially trying to find sexuality interesting in and of itself

I should probably try to write something more coherent about this but those are my initial brain dump thoughts.

Oh I should say: Part of why I mentioned the dating advice is that it was very helpful to me to have partners who I could have as much or as little sex as I wanted with, and could trust them to be curious and nonjudgemental about my very erratic sex drive. Poly is good for this.

Also this isn't a quick process and it's not going to change overnight. It's more about creating the opportunity in which being horny is possible and desirable ("Be attracted / don't be unattracted") and letting that naturally happen rather than forcing the change.
