Yes. When I was young, I slept around. A lot. And cheated on people. I was pretty terrible in that department. But, that changed when I met my husband 15 years ago. The first month I was dating my husband, I was also dating a woman but I think that was more of a crossroads decision than anything else. Even though it was still early in our relationship, it hurt my husband quite a bit when I told him about it. He forgave me though and now it’s inconsequential because nothing like that has/will ever happen again.

These days, when I am manic and therefore hyper-sexual, I (tmi I know) masturbate. I am embarrassed by it so I don’t approach my husband. I think it has to do with shame from a childhood trauma. He really has no idea and would probably be elated if I did come onto him often instead of the other way around.
