HypoSEXUALITY: Bipolar Disorder & Not Having Sex?

CONTACT ME HERE: Patreon:   / polarwarriors  


One of the most popular videos on my channel talks about the signs and symptoms of hypersexuality. This is basically an overwhelming compulsion to have sex or look at sexual material. It's one of those topics that doctors often fail to mention, even though over half of us with Bipolar Disorder will experience it. I talked a lot about “HYPERsexuality in the video,” but what about the opposite of this – “HYPOsexuality?” What about those of us who have zero sexual desire all of a sudden. Where being intimate feels like forcing down food when you're stuffed.



I've had partners wonder if I was cheating on them, or if I wasn't attracted to them anymore because of such a sudden change in desire. I can't really blame them... I'd be really concerned too if my partner went from being overly-sexual to having no desire whatsoever. If we don't have a name for this or talk about what's happening, it's easy to fill in the blanks and assume the worst. A lot of us have been hurt before in past relationships, so our guards go up immediately when something doesn't make sense.

My whole goal in making this video is to let you know that you aren't alone here... That HYPER and HYPOsexuality are very normal parts of the Bipolar experience for most of us. I want to give you and your partner a name for these feelings so you can start to talk about them. It would have made a big difference in my past relationships if we just had a name for what was going on. I also want to share a few tips that have helped me navigate through this aspect of my current relationship, so stick around.
