I can relate. I have gotten very hypersexual during mania and have hurt myself and others. My hypersexuality has gotten me into trouble and has affected my marriage. I only tended to get that way during manias but depressive eps and states were opposite. I would have a decreased libido. I did mention it to my PDoc and he thought it was a sign mostly of the mania. Be strong and think things out when engaging in sexual encounters. 17 days is a long time to go without sex and you should be proud of abstaining. Be as mindful as you can. Sending best wishes.
