I am Bipolar and have issues with constantly wanting to be intimate with my bf. Problem is, he isn't open to talking about sexual things and he isn't very sexual either. I constantly feel self-conscious and sad because I feel unattractive. I have told him these things a lot and he doesn't seem to care.

I'm just really overwhelmed in my feelings and I want to cry.

Here are links to 2 articles, from Psych Central's archives, on the subject of hypersexuality in bipolar disorder plus a link to a podcast on the subject, & a link to an article on emotional unavailability:

Hypersexuality in Bipolar Disorder

Hyper-Sexual Episodes: Let's Talk About Sex! | Adventures of a Bipolar Mom

Podcast: Hypersexuality with a Bipolar and Schizophrenic

Is Your Partner Really 'Emotionally Unavailable' or Is It You?

Zkeeyks-
Thank you for the articles. I find them helpful and they always lead me to more articles. I gain insights and they keep me away from guys online....at least for awhile.

I just need to ask, is he truly not into sex? Is it possible that you are hypersexual and he is normally sexual? I ask because to me there is a difference between bipolar hypersexuality and sexual incombatibility.
