Histrionic Personality Disorder is codependent promiscuity on overdrive.

You can usually hear these coming. They will show up late, half-drunk, laughing obnoxiously, and demanding attention from everyone. They typically dress provocatively, are highly promiscuous, and often pair with physically abusive types.

They live for attention from everyone at all times, especially those who they believe can be controlled with sex. Sexual coercion is one of the highlights of histrionic behavior. This may be because the trauma of being sexually coerced is what they are trying to overcome.

Sexual desirability is often the top concern for histrionic personalities, which prioritizes extreme promiscuity. Promiscuous codependents must be especially wary of this behavior because it can trap them in an instant and totally destabilize them. It may be exciting, but sex with a crazy person is not happiness.

If a histrionic case is able to find a good relationship with their therapist, psychoanalysis can help.
