Some people with bipolar are highly sexual when in their mania stage and it is quite common for some to become unusually flirtatious or even promiscuous during this period. So a temporarily heightened libido can be a consequence of bipolar.
Fair enough, but some people aren't that capable of controlling themselves during hypomania. It's not taking away responsibility by being honest about what such a mood disorder can do, it just helps explain certain behaviour.
I mean, in so much as the disorder is part of you, it's the disorder AND you. Not one or the other.
Is it normal to flirt with tons of guys in one day?

I'm bipolar and I never blamed it on my disorder. It's not the disorder. It's you. No excuses.

Oh and of course add to that the usual 'risk taking behaviour' and impulsivity that commonly comes with a manic episode.
