From my understanding it is part of being manic.

We seek all types of risky behavior to cut the edge off the mania. Spending money, promiscuity and sex related choices that would otherwise be embarrassing, thrill seeking, substance abuse, etc.

I've done things I'm not proud of, particularly when it comes to sexual activities.

I am now stable and on meds. While I don't have the hunger for sexual activities that I used to I think my libido is just fine.
