But it is already a symptom within BiPolar Disorder. The fact that I refuse to accept sex just EVERY THIRD DAY made me a likely candidate at one time. lol

If you were a nymphomaniac, you wouldn't require payment. Nymphomaniacs do it to do it. Have no real control.

Hyper-sexual can make the distinction and charge for their wants because they know they can be amazing in bed and why not make a few bucks at it?

Think about it...

It is merely a DSM5 Work Group proposal at this point, and its incllusion is far from certain.  

The behaviors described in the symptom criteria are primarily either impulsive or compulsive, and there is already ample coverage of both in the DSM4. There is no need to carve out a separate diagnostic category simply based on the fact that the behaviors are expressed as sexual behaviors.

This is a good example of the tendency to put sexuality into a separate box rather than seeing it as merely a part if the whole person.

I have it and I self medicate every day! If Obama care covers it I want to be a "preferred provider"  for treatment for those diagnosed :) lol
