- Has an unusually large amount of sex outside of a committed relationship.
- Has sex with strangers, or people he or she barely knows.
- Feels a constant physical need to have sex beyond normal daydreaming and arousal.
- Has sex with friends that he or she knows without making any kind of emotional connection, for the single purpose of having more sex.
