So the bipolar component of hypersexuality isn't real? It's more about the risk taking hun? Interesting. I'm glad you are staying safe and I wish you success.

Now this is a tricky answer. I don’t remember all of the diagnostic criteria for a manic episode (and I’m hypo at the moment so, yeah, I’m cruising on a better-than-anyone high) but, yes, it’s seeking the risky behavior in sexual ‘indiscretions,’ going on spending sprees (I have to have TWO of everything that I buy and I’ll spend long periods of time comparison shopping but, this is weird,I have to buy better than upper-middle-class items. Very risky spending. I think that making risky business deals is also mentioned.
Abstinence? No, I had intense short-term relationships that quickly devolved when the expectation of my girl evolving into the angel-slut finally grew boring.
I’m not a nice person.
I’m optimistic but realistic, too. I’m going to slip as I morph into deity.
