Hmmm. I'm not making any judgements on how often a day sex should be had. But this is not a notmal state of affairs for me. It only happens when I'm hypomanic or in an agitated depression. It is also not at all enjoyable. I'm not talking about pleasure here. I'm talking about pain, discomfort, and all I get from it is a release of tension, not pleasure. There are no erotic thoughts, nothing but the physical sensation. So while I'm talking about sex, there's nothing really sexy about it. I don't suppose anyone who hasn't experienced it can really understand the non-sexual nature of the sexual arousal.
Sigh. I suppose I'll just have to wait out the hypomania. I actually slept last night and that should help things considerably, especially if I can get a few good nights sleep in a row.
Thanks
