Reading something in another thread made me think of this for some reason. Somehow I feel like the only person who doesn't crave sex during any sort of episode. I can't even tell you how long it's been since I had sex to begin with.

Disappointed. I was expecting a good aphrodisian story. Boo.

I'm in the same boat as you.

What are your current meds? It could be a side-effect that your libido is nonexistent. My pdoc once told me "I'm surprised you even HAVE a libido with all the meds you are on."

Normally I don't crave sex. I'm too focused on my "aspirations" and "finding the hidden meaning" behind everything.

Sometimes I feel like you and I are soul sisters. A lot of things you've said in various posts I've read are exactly what I feel. This is one of those times.

When I was on zoloft my sex drive was nonexistant. Now I'm not taking it anymore and I do get turned on a little more easily than I do otherwise, but I don't spend a whole lot of time thinking about sex really, I'm with bluebicycle on being focused on my aspirations and doing everything I possibly can

Sometimes I crave sex when hypo/manic, other times I don't. It's not a necessary symptom.

I don't get hyper sexual. Even when manic. Sex is not important for me. I enjoyed it with my husband and wanted it with him, but when we would go two weeks without it didn't bother me. I haven't had any type of physical contact with a man since he passed away a year ago and I don't really miss it. It takes a lot for me to share my body with someone since my first sexual partner experience was such a disaster. In fact I've only had two sexual partners in my life and I'm fine with that.
It's one of the things that makes me think I'll be alone for the rest of my life because we live in a culture of "hookups" now and I'll never be down with that. But yeah. No sex cravings in mania for me.

Yah, I've never had hypersexuality as one of my symptoms either which made me doubt the diagnosis for a long time. But then sex has never interested me anyway. For a while I hung out on another board called AVEN for asexuals.

I don't get hypersexual either. I'm definitely more flirtatious, uninhibited, and romantically aggressive or impulsive, but it's not really about the physical act of sex. Other times I have no interest in others at all because I'm so into what I'm doing and don't want to be bothered.

I saw something about Zoloft in previous post. I was prescribed it years ago and it put me in the dirt, and I stopped taking it. Presently, it's like my mind wears Adidas shoes 24/7. How can I take them off?
