Hi ciderguy. The list I mentioned in my post above was based on my usual experiences. As for references to "sex" in the DSM-5, please note the following two symptoms (typed verbatim from my copy) :
"6. Increase in goal-directed activity (either socially, at work or school, or sexually) or psychomotor agitation (i.e. purposeless non-goal-directed activity)
7. Excessive involvement in activities that have a high potential for painful consequences (e.g. engaging in unrestrained buying sprees, sexual indiscretions, or foolish business investments)."
I do get distractability and psycho-motor agitation, too. Though I have gotten involved in activities with a high potential for painful consequences, I personally have not had significant spending sprees (like many people with bipolar) or made foolish business investments. I'm too frugal, even when manic.
