Is this actually in the current criteria for bipolar disorder in the DSM-5?

I ask because I have argued that hypersexuality (and I would include extreme flirtation, certainly) is not amongst the criteria for a manic episode but, rather, the criteria of engaging in risky behaviour which may include, 1) excessive spending sprees, 2) risky sexual behaviour, &etc.

I will pull out my DSM-5 and have another look.
