I knew a psychologist who told me bi polar people are promiscuous, which may or may not be true. What I know is true from a family member being medicated for it is that increased sex drive is one of the side effects of some of the meds.
Does it matter? She's your Ex. If she wasn't your Ex would you overlook it as , she's bipolar so it's okay? Or would it be I can't tolerate this behavior even if she is bipolar?
That last statement is utterly ridiculous and would get you a failing grade in a psych 101 class. As easy examples of why, someone with a fear of being touched would be an unlikely sexual aggressor, suicidal thoughts do not commonly include a desire to sexually assault, paranoia has no sexual content. Even within the category of paraphilia, aggression towards another is only within a small subset.
Errrr, sort of....but it may not quite be the way you think.
I get off on being angelic, being the cheerleader for the office and things. Momentary explosions of pure pleasure that are addictive for I want more, More, MORE. Now, the good thing to my positive feedback circuit of dopamine is that it is in a socially acceptable way, more or less. I mean, the clothes stay on....but as an insatiable Succubus, I could suck the life out of others.
And the bad thing? Those little explosions are constantly, if bit by bit, building the WAVE that must eventually be released, but I get to pick the time and place for that.
LONG STORY SHORT......keep in mind that we have different ways of seeing sex.

My first question would be are the rates of promiscuity higher for people with bpd than teens and young adults, and does the percentage of promiscuity diminish as the bpd patient gets older. Raging hormones may be exacerbated by certain mental health conditions but I’m not sure it’s a given that just because someone has bpd they are promiscuous. I have had several close friends with bpd and they were not promiscuous but then at that time we were in our 30’s and 40’s.
My ex who was bi polar I found out cheated on me a few times.
She told me when she’s having an episode she has to have sex right away with whoever is available and had no control over herself
Now iam pretty sensitive to mental health and people’s issues with that but it sounds insane to me that being bi polar means at times you need sex and arechelpless in trying to stop yourself from having it
Im sure people might be more prone to be impulsive and do risky things like having random sex while being BI polar but I refuse to believe you have zero control over it and can’t just resist your urges
To me it’s just an excuse to be selfish and lack control
Yes, it's normal. I've got some snake oil that might cure it though. Maybe there are some magic beans as well.

If you have ever come across or lived with a person with Bipolar Condition (Bipolar Disorder is Hereditary and I have lived with my Aunt and Mom who were diagnosed with Bipolar/Hypomania) , you will be aware that it causes extreme mood swings, anxiety, depression. Also there are side effects if you are taking medicines to relax and calm down for Bipolar condition.
Now Sex can help you to relax, and take your mind off everyday worries and anxieties. During sex your body releases endorphins and oxytocin, and these feel-good hormones create feelings of relaxation and intimacy, as well as helping to stave off anxiety and depression.
Evidence exists that sex can help with anxiety by increasing endorphins and oxytocin in your brain, (having soothing and clamer effect on brain) which have been known to reduce stress levels and increase happiness. However, it is important to note that the impact of sex on anxiety will vary depending on the individual.
Since impact of sex on anxiety varies for every individual , it may be noted that people will tend to cheat/ look for sex elsewhere if their steady partner is unable to cope up with the sexual appetite to help them reduce the anxiety level achieved through sex.
OP's Last Activity: Yesterday 10:19 PM, but will he post here again since haven't in a month?
I've never heard of it, but perhaps impulsivity in general.
HOWEVER, wasn't she on meds & if so, you'd think if she cared about you, she'd take them regularly, so she wouldn't have those impulsive sex urges. Sounds like she's using her condition as an excuse to cheat all over the place & she liked that.
