I'm old enough to remember when kids were threatened with going blind or being sent to Hell for masturbating. As far as I know, it didn't stop boys, and it didn't stop hypersexed girls either; I used to feel terribly guilty for doing it, but I've still got some eyesight left and I'll let the Lord decide where I'm headed.

That said.......I don't know if this helps, but when I'm hypo/manic I turn into a tigress! I think about sex anytime and anyplace, and sometimes I can have an orgasm just imagining it. I went through a long period during perimenopause when I didn't care if I ever had sex again, and now I wish I could. My husband hasn't been able to have an erection in years, so I do a lot of 'self-gratification' and thank Heaven that I'm not tempted to go out looking (nobody wants a saggy, baggy old woman anyway). I've never been unfaithful to him, nor will I ever be, even if the opportunity were to present itself.......but ohhhh, sometimes I wish!!
