well, from what i know and have seen, these sex-related differences between us can be boiled down to one thing & one thing only: you are bipolar; i am depressive. i admit i can't imagine what it would be like to have EVER had a raging sex drive. and like i said, it's no longer a concern whatsoever. it's at the bottom of my list of important things in my life. HA! but, my last ex s.o. was classic bipolar I, so the only way we connected sexually was LOTS of cocaine. lol. that was almost a decade ago.
i went into eating disorder treatment briefly in my early 30's, but the 'jury' remains out on whether or not i've ever had true anorexia. my eating behavior was to be a restrictor only...i never weighed portions, never counted calories, never binged or purged or abused laxatives for weight puposes, nor did excessive exercising. my restricting is still a problem & a very hard thing to unlearn. as the years go by, i'm personally almost 100% convinced that i'm not a true anorectic; my low appetite and (formally!) life-long ultra low weight are/were just typical symptoms of my chronic or recurrent major depressive disorder w/ anxiety.
are you being treated with a stabilizer for your bipolar? depakote balanced the sex deal/s for my ex, right along with balancing everything else out. he was much happier with himself that way. the people phobia he did not share with you & i, tho. he was an extrovert.
as an only child, i'm socially adept IF i feel like putting out the effort, on any give day. but, i would never call myself a people person, nor would i want to be. to be very candid, all my life, i've found it very hard to find people who don't either bore me, or exhaust/ drain me. i've been able to maintain some decades-long close friendships. i now have quite a few good friends from the net, too. that's plenty good enough for me.
