Thank you for sharing your story. I wanted to share a personal story of mine as well that I think may settle your mind. I have to say that I had (what I thought) was a high sex drive when I was your age. I am currently 31 years old.
In my experience, I was also wanting to have sex several times a day and didn't feel satisfied at the end of the day. I was with one partner though. Of course, there are several issues with having several sexual partners including your chances to contract sexually transmitted diseases, pregnancy, etc. Precautions are necessary.
The good news is... my sex drive slowed down around 25 years old. I have to admit though that it is back up to par at 31. There is nothing wrong with a high sex drive in woman. The thing is, we get a reputation and there is a chance for pregnancy, etc. Don't think there is something wrong with you though.
The second thing I wanted to touch on was your Bi-Polar diagnosis. You would have severe depression and then severe mania. Medicinenet.com provides these signs and symptoms of the severe mania in people diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
Signs and symptoms of mania (or a manic episode) include:
Increased energy, activity, and restlessness
Excessively "high," overly good, euphoric mood
Extreme irritability
Racing thoughts and talking very fast, jumping from one idea to another
Distractibility, can't concentrate well
Little sleep needed
Unrealistic beliefs in one's abilities and powers
Poor judgment
Spending sprees
A lasting period of behavior that is different from usual
Increased sexual drive
Abuse of drugs, particularly cocaine, alcohol, and sleeping medications
Provocative, intrusive, or aggressive behavior
Denial that anything is wrong
Increased sexual behavior is common with bipolar disorder as stated above. You may want to consult your physician again and explain to him/her the feelings you are having because it is common to feel that way. It can be suppressed by medications.
I hope this helps to know that your not alone with a high sex drive, you should certainly consult with your physician about the bi-polar disorder though.
