Sexuality? You mean to tell me that wasn't "normal" behavior either?

Let's let Healthline.com give the definitive on sexuality during manic phases:

Sexuality During Mania
Hyper-sexuality is an increased level of interest in sex or increased amount of sexual activity that can seem out of control. It is characterized by:

  1. never feeling sexually satisfied despite engaging in a lot of sexual
  2. activity
  3. sex drive that seems out of control
  4. not having sexual gratification
  5. having sex with multiple sex partners, including strangers
  6. excessive masturbation
  7. having continuous affairs and putting relationships at risk
  8. inappropriate and risky sexual behavior
  9. sex is used as a “painkiller” to avoid intimacy and other aspects of human relations that are feared
  10. not having emotional satisfaction from sex
  11. poor sexual impulse control
  12. preoccupation with sexual thoughts
  13. possible increase in use of pornography

Okay, so I fit about 10 of these, give or take, depending on my mood, so what's that make me? I'm not a slut, and I never was promiscuous, other than online when the sex chat-lines came into vogue. Then, if I'm being honest here, and why not, I was a cyber slut.
