have promiscuous sex? Maybe not normal, but at least common?

Here's a dictionary definition of "promiscuous":
characterized by or involving indiscriminate mingling or association, esp. having sexual relations with a number of partners on a casual basis.

text book cases say:
anorexics ARE NOT promiscuous as they dont like showing their bodies..
bulimics (binge on food then purge) ARE as they are proud of their weight loss and need affection by all.
I dont swear by this at ALL, but that's what I learned when I did a project on Eating Disorders.
My sister was anorexic and the child NEVER did like talking about sex let alone having it!

there is no right or wrong answer to your question, but I will say that people who are anorexic feel bad about there appreance and have extremely low self esteem, people who have promiscuous sex also have low self esteem and doesn't like there apperance....most people in this position feel that sex is a way to make them feel loved wanted and beautiful
Promiscuous sex IS common for people with bi polar disorder because of these reasons

I don't think being anorexic would give one a bigger sex drive. I think it stems from low self esteem. Anyone anorexic wants to be skinny to be accepted and the same is for promiscuous sex.The anorexic girl is looking for acceptance and thinks that's the only way she can get it. She needs to see a doctor and a psychiatrist.

Very possible. It seems apparent that an individual with anorexia tent to have an obsessive compulsion to over-do certain things in their life. Sexual aggressiveness could in deed stem from this problem being associated with addiction.

It would be odd, to be honest..because most anorexics are obsessed with their body image, and burning calories..they might find that it burns calories and do it for that reason..but not as a result of the anorexia...It is not normal, to be anorexic, either.

Respect yourself and don't risk getting a disease or having a child that would change your life forever.
Wait until you find the man of your dreams, walk down the aisle and give yourself to him. I'm sure your husband will appreciate it and you will look back and be grateful you did.

Yes, that's more self desctrucive behavior that shows low self esteem....but normal and anorexic do not belong in the same sentence...

Depends on the self-confidence issues of the girl. True anorexia is rare, eating disorders have a huge scale. Every individual is different.

considering the fact that it is not "normal" to be anorexic in the first place, I would say NO, and this girl should get help before it is too late.
