Anyway...I haven't had sex or kissed anyone in almost 6 months now and it's driving me crazy! There's nobody around to try things like that with as far as I know...I mean at least not that I'm really interested in.
I'm really sexually frustrated and self-pleasure isn't cutting it (I often feel guilty and even more sexually frustrated afterward anyhow).
I don't know what to do if there's even anything I can do. I almost wish I could find someone online to hook up with. Or -total last resort and probably not an actual option- go to this one girl I know is interested in me even though I'm not really into her (that would just be an asshole move of me though...quite selfish and I am not that kind of person to use someone for sex even if my body wants me to be).
How do people even find people to have sex with? Some people seem to do that without a problem. I just don't know how to do that.

This may be a little off topic, but I think some people with BP have a tendency to get absorbed into a single topic...especially during mania. Seems similar to autism. I would suggest doing a self check to make sure you are not seeking sex as an outlet. Otherwise, I think sex is normal desire and not something you should be ashamed of. As far as finding people who want sex, they are everywhere. However, many also expect sex to lead to a something a little deeper such as a relationship. Therefore, if you are lacking a relationship, I would suggest seeking that first.
