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:
- never feeling sexually satisfied despite engaging in a lot of sexual
- activity
- sex drive that seems out of control
- not having sexual gratification
- having sex with multiple sex partners, including strangers
- excessive masturbation
- having continuous affairs and putting relationships at risk
- inappropriate and risky sexual behavior
- sex is used as a “painkiller” to avoid intimacy and other aspects of human relations that are feared
- not having emotional satisfaction from sex
- poor sexual impulse control
- preoccupation with sexual thoughts
- 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.
