Since being diagnosed with Bipolar 1 I have had numerous bouts of hypersexuality. Mostly it has just been a super high sex drive. The last couple of times it has taken a weird turn. All of a sudden the sex I crave is bizarre. Strange/gross fetish stuff. Have any of you ever heard of this? Once I come down from the hypersexuality the fetish goes away. This is really disturbing me. Thoughts?

I suffer from similar disturbing images in my mind. I don't actually pursue them. Hypersexuality is weird, at least for me, I'm going to be starting therapy soon to deal with some of these issues.

Its been known that watching porn too often (not saying you do, nor would I care) can lead people to get bored of seeing 'regular' porn. It no longer has that same excitement because its already been seen a hundred times, leading on to things that are more out of the ordinary, more hardcore to get the same satisfaction. I guess the same thing could be true with the mind.

I wouldnt be too worried about where ever its driving your thoughts, Im sure almost all guys have personal things that a out of the ordinary that turn them on. It just affects us with hyper sexuality a little more because having sex regularly is not even close to enough to keep our sex drive under control.

I have been wondering much of the same thing. This is not limited to guys, gals have this going on as well.

Thanks for posting this.
