» Emberlei - Re: just want to know
The answer to your question lies in my post just above yours that says sometimes my desire involves men and women, so yes, I have what I like to call bisexual urges as well as hetero. And yes, it is difficult when you have a wonderful spouse. The feelings of guilt and shame can be overwhelming.-- posted by Emberlei
» hairguy55 - thanks emberlie for your coment.
thanks emberlie for your coment.although i dont have a solution to this problem it is one of my biggest concerns.even though i feel bad for you it does make me feel a little better knowing that im not alone.its realy hard being a man with a beautiful loveing wife and daughter who realy try to understand this disease as im sure it is for you as well.i feel comfotable discussing every aspect of my bp. with my wife but when im feeling hypersexual i feel i could never reveal my homosexual thoughts to her even though i dont think i would ever act upon them.its just in my head.also when im in that state all i want to do is look at porn and things i would not otherwise do i also masterbate alot for one reason my wife could never keep up with me even if she tried and i wouldnt want to put her in that situation anyway.second,my sexual urges are alot deeper and darker and more provocative than ever.so i usualy just slip away into my own world.fortunately for me this phase only last for about 5to7 days then im back to normal exept for feeling so bad about myself for days.-- posted by hairguy55

In response to message posted by Emberlei:I am glad to see someone discussing this topic. It is one of the most embarassing subject we have to deal with and one that I have never been able to openly address with my psychiatrist.
I love my wife deeply and don't think I could have an affair, at least not when I'm "in my right mind." Nevertheless, when I am manic or hypomanicic I find myself irrestiblyly drawn to acting out sexually through flirting, trying to initiate sex with my wife far more often than she wants it, and constant sexual fantasies involving many of the women I encounter in my daily life. When some of these women start to flirt back, I have to really watch myself to be sure things don't get out of hand.
As a more acceptable outlet, I find myself turning to frequent masturbation, pornography and chat room cybersexex. It is the cyber that is the most captivating for me and I think the thing that most helps me "blow off steam" and keep myself from doing something in real life that I would terribly regret. Has anyone else used this outlet? Has it helped?

In response to C.A. posted by Colleen_Sullivan:I've had issues with this from a young age and it did involve a few same sex(male)experimentarions because sex is better with others and if the only other is a guy,then! After bears, porno and a comment about me getting out of the shower with a woody I fealt complimated. So when we were the masters of porn and he remainded softfor blood issuses flow he just tried to find himself a bit.He crashed right before the good stuff so worked his shorts down and began to bring an old hero back to life. He awoke surprised and quickley removed my shorts and blew me away. This has happened other and we don,t treat is as just well needed release. And we don,t feel gay, just horney.
Trisexual= Try anything sexual

» panic54 - Hypersexual Tease
I have found this to help me. I'm male and have a few "Safe" girl friends that I chat sex with. This seems to feed the mental needs of hypersexuality and head home(or just away) for the physical ones. For me this beats phone sex, Cyberporn and such.It's in deapth open talk about past times, odd places, meathods...All part frustrated and in hurry to get home.Then we do each others hair(just kidding).

» DrJay - Bipolar Hypomania Induced Hypersexuality
Are you sleeping at least 8 hours? Do you have underlying anxiety or obsessions? If your not sleeping, your meds are probably NOT right. If you have anxiety or obsessions, you may need a mood stabilizer or more mood stabilizer. If you are OK in these areas but still obsess about sex, Anafranil may help.Dr. Jay

» wikki66 - bipolar hypersexuality
Interesting thread that needs to be discussed more, regardless of sexual orientation or gender. I am a gay man, 40, bipolar 1, ptsd & major anxiety and experience hardcore hypersexuality. Taking multi-drug therapy plus counseling, as do most bipolars. Taken most of the drugs out there, with no reduction in symptoms, including hypersexualtiy. I am a former male escort of 10 yrs., but quit due to shame and fear of stds, such as aids! No interest towards females. 5 yrs. ago I was having 3-10+ partners daily, plus porn, fantasies & excessive masturbation. Finally stopped that due to guilt & shame, then turned to cybersex, which I have pretty much ;-> quit. I do not believe being bipolar causes people to be gay or bi, you either are or aren't, imho. I hate hypersexuality because I believe in monogamy & it really screws up any chance of relationships that last. I still stuggle with this on a daily basis, hour to hour. I just say no & stay home, though I want to be out hunting for more sex partners. No advice to give here besides please be safe, aids and stds are no joke, nor anything to spread! Use condoms folks! I am one of the lucky ones who are std free, after all the sex I initiated & performed. Guilt/shame can be a good thing if it deters you from destructive behaviors. Good luck & peace to all....tim in tucson
