A woman who split up with her husband after receiving a terminal cancer diagnosis and spent her remaining years 'seeking joy' once explained the medical reason why she 'was so horny'.
Molly Kochan had found a lump in her breast in 2005 but when she went to the doctor she was told she was too young to have cancer.
Six years later she was diagnosed with breast cancer, and in 2015 she was told that the cancer had reached stage four and was incurable.

With just a few years left to live, Molly decided to leave her husband and dedicated her remaining time alive towards 'seeking joy'.
She and her husband had already been in couple's counselling when she got her terminal diagnosis and she decided to walk away from her marriage, and ended up sleeping with around 200 men.

Molly died in March 2019 at the age of 45, but not before she and friend Nikki Boyer launched the Dying for Sex podcast to tell her story and she penned a memoir titled Screw Cancer: Becoming Whole.
During an episode of the Dying for Sex podcast she co-founded, Molly explained that she was put on hormone therapy which was supposed to reduce her libido but ended up having the opposite effect.

"I literally wanted to hump everyone and everything that I saw. I was horny all of the time. I felt like a teenager again," she said of the hormones which helped increase her libido.
Among the gentlemen she knew during this time was a man with a foot fetish, someone in clown makeup, a man who resembled Ryan Reynolds and a guy who wanted Molly to kick him in the genitals.
Her story has ended up being turned into an FX series titled Dying For Sex, in which Molly is played by Michelle Williams.
On the podcast, Molly spoke about her sex life with her husband and talked about a problem where she 'never really knew what she liked' before she set out to spend her remaining years finding out.

She said: "For a long time with sex - and this is why I had a problem in my marriage - I was really, really, really good at figuring out what other people liked and then I could simulate that like an actor for them.
"But I never really knew what I liked."
Before her death she said that sex 'makes me feel alive, and it’s a great distraction from being sick', saying that as her health scares increased she found that pursuing her joy was a good way to 'trump the distraction'.
Dying For Sex is available to watch on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+.
