HYPERSEXUALITY: Signs, Symptoms, Treatment, & More!

Want MORE personal advice and helpful Bipolar videos that are not on KZread? Consider becoming a Polar Warrior Patron here: / polarwarriors
Hypersexuality is more common than people realize and it's extremely important to know the signs of "hypersexual behavior." It can have a HUGE impact on our decision making and especially our relationships. In fact, the average percentage of people who experience "Hypersexual Bipolar Mania" is around 57%. This video covers a broad spectrum of hypersexuality for anyone who wants to learn a lot about it - (not just those who have Bipolar Disorder).
When you were first diagnosed and started talking to doctors about Bipolar Disorder, chances are you were never told about "hypersexuality." I've seen some great doctors over the years and not a single one mentioned this to me.
An overwhelming number of people have asked me to make a video talking about this. Most have been the partners of someone who has Bipolar Disorder. Part of the problem is how uncomfortable people are with discussing Mental Illness and especially sex. Even in relationships, couples don't tend to talk about hypersexuality unless there's a big problem.
For partners who cheat, the often don't talk about it until they get caught. For partners who are getting "lots of great sex," they might not see it as a problem until their partner's mania is completely out of control.
Hypersexuality, just like Bipolar Disorder is "cyclic" - meaning it can come and go in cycles. There are usually distinct patterns of behavior or signs when someone starts to get hypersexual. Learning to identify these signs can be used as another TOOL to know when Bipolar symptoms are starting. Being overly-sexual can be a sign that mania is here. Having no interest in sex could mean that depression is on the horizon. It's up to each person to learn what hypersexuality means for them.
I'd love to hear what you think in the comments below and if you have any questions, I'll always do my best to help!
If this is your first time visiting our channel, welcome to "the Polar Warrior club!" We are completely dedicated to helping individuals, families, and friends who struggle with, or know someone living with Bipolar Disorder. Our goal is to provide actual tools, tips, and discuss topics that can potentially help “Polar Warriors” grow to live a more balanced, peaceful, and fulfilling life. We truly hope these videos inspire & educate those interested in knowing more about this serious mental illness.

    "Effects more women than men": because the social expectations and consequences of sex are different, it might be easier to identify in women, but written off as normal male behavior in men.

    Psycho-chemically, there is research suggesting bipolar brains either do not produce endorphins regularly, or don't always use them normally. Between the hyper sexuality and substance abuse both cited as much more common in bipolar disorder, the most common drugs to abuse are opiates. These drugs may not even cause a euphoric feeling as much as just "not awful".

    I had to leave my wife of 10 years because of her constant cheating. I still care and worry for her. But she would always lie, and constantly search out whatever sexual episodes she could. As a combination of her hypersexuality and insecurities. But to protect my self and our child, I had to build up the strength to let her go because I couldn't let her choices affect our life. She always ends up at seedy motels and enjoys horrible drugs. And with a 2yo, that's not going to work. I still hope and pray every day that she grows up and realizes her child needs her

But I never cheated, cheating is wrong so it doesn't matter how much I suffer I could never do that to someone, even when we split for a while I didn't sleep with anyone so I really do know how people could but I try not to judge because everyone is different and just because I've got the willpower doesn't mean everyone can

    Your wife is ill and adding a drug/alcohol use disorder on top of that would most certainly make her hypersexuality much more difficult to cope with. That being said, you have to make the right decision for you and your child at the end of the day. No matter what happens in our lives ultimately the individual has to make the decision to seek treatment for their mental health AND follow through with their treatment plan. It's not that she's childish and "needs to grow up"... she's a sick person that needs to get well. The sooner that you learn that, the better off you and your child will be.

    Have a good friend that was diagnosed with what they use to call Manic Depressive, and now called Bipolar Disorder. Along with hyper sexuality. The hyper sexuality got stronger with age. Initially just taking clothes off during a manic high. As years went by, the watching of porn and calls to phone sex lines, and eventually the act of sex with others came with no protection. Cost of a marriage. Spent a lot of money to get the fix as well. My friend actually denied it and would become angry when confronted with it. Drugs helped for a while, but when the high would start, refused to take them. Eventually had to be hospitalized to get under control. No meds have worked for longer than 2 to 3 years, and then they are adjusted or another one is tried. It's so sad. I remain a friend who trys to understand even when not wanted. I do know the child hood life was with a self centered mother who stayed home and both parents drank. Not much physical affection from what I saw.

I was finally diagnosed after a suicide attempt about 8 years ago. It took many different mixes of medications in order to get my symptoms under control. One of the side effects though is that it has left me virtually impotent. Thankfully I have a very understanding wife.

    I could never see myself diagnosing a child with bpd at 13. There used to be a rule of waiting until early to mid 20s before giving that dx. By any chance was your hyper sexuality associated with trauma? I wonder if ptsd would be more suitable for many when it comes to addressing the root of the hyper sexuality. I notice my patients with bpd dx prior to my care tend to likely have a significant trauma history that needs unpacking. Not to say this is you. Just general and I was curious about whether you could relate

    It only struck me last year how apt of a comparison hypersexuality is to drug use. I was getting tattooed and my artist was making conversation. Somehow we got to talking about our past and I mentioned my bipolar. He asked how that was going and I said that I was stable on meds at this point but it had been rough for a while. He asked if it was drugs and I said that I’d just had a bit too much sex. He then said, “Oh, so sex was your drug”. Which completely shook my world because I’d never considered what I’d been doing to be on the same level as a drug addiction. When play it back now, almost two years out from my two year long hyper sexual manic episode I’m astonished that I didn’t see how bad it had gotten. If we keep with the drug metaphor, I didn’t slow myself down and wean myself off of my drug, I cold turkeyed after an overdose. Almost two years ago I finally ran myself into a case of SA which threw a cold bucket of water all over my hypersexuality. I was then celibate for the next 7 months (aside from one failed attempt where I dissociated the entire time, so that was fun) until I met the person who is now my life partner and I’ve not been with anyone since. Every single escalation you mentioned I did. You essentially drew a road map for of my two year period. I’m just starting to struggle with feelings of shame and repulsion. For the first 1.5 years or so I think I put that time out of my mind, but now that it’s been long enough I think my mind is ready to deal with it, but I don’t know how to begin.

I rarely comment but this subject hits home really hard. I put a profile up on "OnlineBootyCall" and had about seven different men come see me within three days time. None of them satisfied me, and I found my vibrator not even enough. I clamped my nipples and clitoris with strong pressure to induce pain while I masturbated. Isn't that a mess! I deleted the profile I JUST PAID FOR and would have been good for three more weeks. I will not do this!!!!

I had no idea that other people with a bipolar diagnosis were dealing with this symptom too and that it could be helped by finding the right medications. I hope more people get this information so they don't have to suffer the pain associated with periods of hypersexuality. Thank you for talking about this!

    @@kingphillieman I'll take a stab at it. I"m Bipolar II which means I spend most of my time in depression with, well, little desire to even live on some days. Sucks, but getting out of bed is a true challenge. Suicide is common in those with BiPolar 2. When our mania hits, we feel alive and on top of the world. I wonder if that is what it feels like to be "normal". I'm in the best of mood, I'm quick witted, super happy and can get more stuff done in 5 min than most can do in a week.......or so it seems. I'm very talkative and flirty with the ladies and my "game" gets turned on. Sex is awesome and it could be 8 hours long in one session. I have been very risky in the past and will......well screw anyone that's a female. On some nights I said screw it I"m just getting a hooker. And porn...well you get the idea. It's a major boost to endorphins my body has needed it seems. This feeling of mania can go on for 2-3 days straight! No sleep. The first day is great, second day is just as good but thoughts are a little more foggy. Third day I am still on the manic "High" but just can't turn my brain off to relax and sleep. Then I pace the floors while my wheels spin upstairs as ideas pop in and out. I talk to people that aren't there but I know they aren't there so yeah, I guess I hear people talking to me in my head in a faint voice that really are thoughts people are talking to me. At this point I start hearing things like door bells ringing, or my ex GF calling my name. I go to look and nobody is there. Then, I finally sit or lay down and I'm out like a light. 12-15 hours later I wake up groggy and wiped out. Chemically my body has been depleted of all endorphins and adrenal fatigue has kicked in and I slip back into depression which lasts sometimes 3 months as my body is "recharging". It's tough to do anything.....then, I start feeling excited about life and bam, Mania is triggered once again. I know this will only last for 3-4 days tops so I enjoy it while I can I guess. It's a constant roller coaster and the depression part is the most lonely feeling in the world.....even if you have people around because I can't connect with them. I'm just bla with flat emotions. Most only know me when I'm manic and the life of the party. I tell many of my friends I've been on "vacation" when I'm depressed as I don't like people seeing me like that. Yes, the meds help, but like many when I start feeling better I just stop taking them and the madness starts all over again. Took me 4 years to find what worked for me medication wise.

    My x-girlfriend is bipolar and would go through the hypersexuality thing. We were together for seven years and apparently she had been cheating on me with many different men the entire time. It blows my mind, and the things that she did are unbelievable. I don't buy this as an excuse for a bipolar person to cheat. We had sex at least twice a day, and apparently she still needed more sex from other men. I only caught her a few times, but she would say things and tell me about it while talking about other things, like word salad, without actually telling me. She was really sneaky. So that's why we broke up. She is a liar and a nympho, and she won't take her meds, which actually worked. She just doesn't care and is actually still having sex with groups of guys, I hope she realizes that she can't go through life like that. I wish her the best.

All in all, you're a great speaker, know the subject, and wth man, you are a subject! I think you are doing God's work here, man. You're a godsend to many bipolar guys and girls and also the loved and loving ones around them. I wish you a long long life and enough strength and luck to carry on every second of it.

    I definitely get this. I get it when I am manic severely, and the symptom goes throughout my life because I also have hormone problems (PCOS). I've never cheated during these episodes, but I have gone through a hard core porn addiction. I'm also bi so I've been obsessed with trying to join an orgy in the past but never been able to find one. I'm really into BDSM. And I find myself increasing my interests more and more. I truly think the key to this is finding a balance, like you say. I definitely need someone I trust and who can give me 100% their attention and intimacy when I usually feel empty either way. But I also need them to be open to my interests, while keeping me grounded and safe. It's such a crazy thing because hypersexuality can be so, so dangerous. I am lucky that I haven't developed any serious diseases, or even died. I have had my fair share of abuse and trauma because of it, though. And I think the thing that needs to be brought up is that it can happen to people at a very young age, for me it probably started happening when I was about 10, which was frightening. I didn't get diagnosed with bipolar until I was 21. I've lived a life.

    Chelsea B just like I said in the video, there is nothing wrong with pushing the limits of sexual exploration in a relationship. I know it can be harder to find people who are like-minded (in a world where people don’t discuss sex openly), but they are out there. It is great that you are aware of all of this. Self-awareness is really the hardest step for most people to take. I have so much respect for you being faithful in your relationships. That’s rare and I know it takes a lot of self-control. I hope the video helped a lot and you are very welcome on my channel. Stay safe and stop by anytime! :-)

What's doing my nut at the moment is every new day I wake up living with Bipolar, I feel as though my Hubby is listening to me less and less, not just about the Hypersexuality but everything to do with it. I know I'm not dealing with it on my own as I have a wonderful friend who has read lots of stuff about it to try and help me, but not having the love of my life learning about it, makes me feel very alone.

Even if you read it and share info with him, it's a brilliant book. You can grab a cheap used copy online if you'd like. So glad the video helped. It's such an important and not-talked-about subject.

    Finding love seems to help... Which really starts with treating the self kindly, and understanding ourselves.

    Feel free to share the videos with the support team! We can all work together to help get information out there... Especially things that are just not talked about. I'm working hard on changing that, and thanks so much for noticing =) Stop by my channel anytime Chris!

    Very helpful video especially near the end when he starts talking about Awareness. Awareness and true inner guidance will transform this into a beautiful intimacy with life, as life, with yourself, as yourself, with a loving partner, as a loving partner, where what seemed like a curse has now become a wonderful gift. From here there will be no turning back. Life intimacy and love is what we are, just that most have not realised it . Also the sex will be the best you've ever had, sometimes the sex may not even get to be finished, for the love and intimacy has you or your partner, or both, saturated in the most profound peace and silence.

    Even though I don't suffer from hypersexuality, I personally believe that this video is point on and nessesary. Also mentioning the medications and their definitions was awe inspiring. I'm just a seeker of medical knowledge in simple layman's terms for my personal information. Thanks, it's really been educational.
