Back in 2012....I was single. Out the blue I started having a lot of mania symptoms. I was craving sex all the time and I normally have a low-medium sex drive. I would take cool showers....try to soak in cool water. I got involved with a friend and started having him come over a few times a week. He was a bit younger so he could keep up. But I would also need to masterbate almost daily too. Then a few months in I was diagnosed (bp1) and learned what was going on (hyper sexual) was put on meds and one was Risperdal. Then my whole sex drive stopped. I spoke with my pdoc and he told me it was a side affect of it. My friend and I stayed involved but the sex was like monthly. I relocated to a different state and stayed on Risperdal. I went the first year with no sex not even masterbation. I had no desire for any sex. A year later I became involved with a guy. We're friends but just bed buddies. He understands I can not handle a relationship. He does express he would like me to have sex more often. I lie and say my schedule is jam packed. Other times I'll say I'm traveling. I just don't want to tell him I take a med that really makes me not want to be touched. He's been patient it's now two years later and he's still around.
