Does anyone ever want sex to help relieve stress? I've been going through a very difficult time and I feel the need to have a lot of sex to forget it all. I guess it's my way of feeling better temporarily. Unfortunately I don't have a partner to help me out. And since I gave up dating I am not sure when I'll get laid again. Does this need for sex have anything to do with my BPD? Before my diagnosis I went through a period where I was very sexually active. I almost feel as if I was addicted to sex. Can anyone relate?
