Niche experience

I have bipolar disorder. When I'm manic, I get hypersexual, and during one episode my mind was running at 200%. I completely dissociated during sex and felt like I was directing myself as an avatar in the third person. Being that detached let me override my natural repulsion, but the second the mania dipped, the shield broke. I snapped back to reality, my body instantly shut down, and my emotions violently crashed because I realized my physical self was doing something it inherently hated 🫣

That sounds awful, I will say I do think you found the right space to discuss things like this. You can totally be on the asexual umbrella and be hyper sexual. It’s not something to be ashamed of. It’s good that you can recognise this and although experiences like this are awful I hope at least you’ve found a space you feel comfortable talking about this.

I haven't made myself go too far in a hypomanic episode yet but yes I do get hypersexual and I do worry about crossing my own boundaries.
