Sexuality

How many people look for sex when hyper sexual. I am feeling that way.

If I'm manic, one of my #1 priorities is having as much (gay) sex as possible to the point that I put myself in extremely dangerous situations. I become temporarily bisexual too.

I do, but not in a dangerous way. I tend to go for guys I had a history with, or guys I actually like. But I will have unprotected sex.. so I guess that is dangerous But only if I'm single. If I have a bf, I'll just have sex with them more, I'm not a cheater. In my late teen years/early 20's, I was a tad promiscuous, which I regret, but now I have an idea of why I did those things- mania.

I'm in a relationship and he likes sex. So that meets my needs. I'm not sure what would happen if I was in a sexless relationship or single.

Yes. It is hard when you are single. I have been for several years. I need a FWB.

I have acted destructively before - in real life, online, etc. Now I just slam my head into a concrete wall and I feel better.

I will have to try that. ^

oh, I forgot to finish...

...then I have a headache and I'm sexual.

When manic I get hypersexual AND angry. Like, how dare people not have time or cancel just because my crazy is leaking out from the messages???

We have an open marriage which is very convenient because at those times my libido goes so sky high husby starts begging me to stop at some point What do you mean you need rest? I gave you full five minutes!

Oh yes, unfortunately I know all about hyper sexuality. It happens to me so regularly when I'm high in mood that one warning sign is feeling more attractive than usual, and finding others (by that, I mean both sexes) more attractive than usual, too.

It starts off like that, but can then lead to some out-of-control and extremely out of character behaviour, such as stripping off when hospitalised, making out with a guy in hospital, going home with a guy after knowing him only a few hours, or dating- and sleeping with- three guys at once. Looking back on this behaviour, I feel pretty ashamed and guilty, though I know logically that I was very ill and not in my right mind.

My last boyfriend also called me 'insatiable', though, and I was mostly stable on my meds for most of the time I was seeing him, so I'm not sure how much of it is just how I am, or whether it could be a residual symptom of my bipolar.
