I have been told by every guy I've ever been with that I'm hypersexual. I don't know if it's because of my bipolar or what. All I know is that when I'm in a relationship I want sex all the time. When I'm not then I just shut down those feelings. But who decides what's normal when it comes to sexual frequency? When in a relationship I will settle for 3 times a day but prefer closer to 10. I have found I do have a max and that seems to be around 18 - 20 times in a day. Any more than that and I get too sore to enjoy it.

I will be the first to admit that I use sex to feel better. With my bipolar I spend most of my time down and I mean really really down. Sex makes me feel better and makes me feel connected to the person I'm with which makes me feel better. I'm also not a highly affectionate person so I also use sex to show the person I'm with how much I want them and care about them. Plus let's face it it's just plain old fun.

I figure as long as the other person can keep pace no harm no foul.
