In all seriousness- is being promiscuous a mental illness?

Oh wait, I guess there’s sex addiction. :rofl:

BUT I’m not really talking about that…

More so, just wanting attention from the opposite sex…

I don’t know how to explain it.

I am very much attracted to my husband and basically always happy in our relationship.

So why do I find myself thinking about a couple of my exes and wanting to add them on social media? :upside_down_face:

Aye yi yi.

I hate to admit this stuff.

I hate my brain…

It’s just cos they are ex’s; your memories still have an affect on you - not the person itself

It’s a possible symptom of bipolar.

I think bipolar can make people act out sometimes in risky ways or take big chances. I’m your friend so I’ll tell you – I could just be silent and go about my business but I care… You seem really happy with your husband
I wouldn’t ruin it. Trust it hard to build and may not be possible to regain.

Loyalty is the way to win relationship wise I think. You’ll be glad you fought off these urges. I wouldn’t blame yourself for these thoughts arising but you gotta say no to em.

Yeah definitely!
Thanks for the pep talk…

I won’t act on these urges… I’ll just wait it out until they are hopefully gone by the time I wake up tomorrow morning…

It’s just so annoying even having these thoughts

True I see. Yea I didn’t think you would just saying. I know you’re a good person :slightly_smiling_face: don’t want to see you make a big mistake. A friend of mine her husband recently cheated on her and its destroying her. So sad. They have kids together too and now their marriage is ruined all cause of one bad decision.

No, I don’t think so, neither is being repulsed by the idea

Both extremes exist

One can still love ones x s but only be sexually intimate with one’s partner and faithful.

No.

I think horniness and all and sundry is just as dependant on your brain output but it’s all different.

I am paranoid sz and always probably was but had a high sex drive. It’s nice to be in your 50’s with a healthy interest in sex but a low sex drive…

It simplifies life quite a lot!

Being promiscuous is a choice. I’m not arguing for or against it. Just saying it’s something one has control over. Unlike MI.
