Yes. Hypersexuality is a very common symptom of mania and hypomania. The urges can be overwhelming, and coupled with an increase in risk taking and loss of judgement, can get bipolars (men and women alike) into a lot of trouble.
This is offset by the depressive phase, of course, where sex is the last thing on your mind. The combination of these two states, and their unpredictability, make living with an unmedicated bipolar person extremely difficult. The good news is that there are many effective drug therapies out there to control th esymptoms of bipolar disorder.

Bipolar disorder involves major highs and lows. So during one of the major high episodes, women may experience above average sex drives.

Anyone who is bipolar might experience an increased sex drive during a manic/hypomanic phase. But that is offset by the decreased sex drive during depression.

No each and every one of us is unique. I know of a woman who is bi-polar and she does not have any desire to hitch up with male or female - quite happy to stay salibate LOL!!!
