What makes antisocial personality disorder maladaptive?
Here is a brief recap of what I found out about Antisocial Personality Disorder, among other Pd's, in a Youtube lecture based on the book Personality Disorders in Modern Life: Antisocials violate others rights without seeing doing so as being necessarily wrong. They may even be proud of it, and end up bragging about it. They are in short, "non-reflective and self-serving". They have an ego syntonic about their irresponsible actions towards others, meaning their way of being, behaving, and thinking is natural to them and they find no fault with what it is they are doing. In closing, having a personality disorder requires the inability for the person with it to see their way of being as wrong or deviant to societal norms. Personally, I believe it also means not having a conscience that should be a part of one's superego in regards to the antisocial pd.

Why is sexual acting out common in people with borderline personality disorder?
Acting out, especially sexually, is very common among those with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). It is related to impulsiveness, which may be due to a dysfunction in their frontal lobe. It also may be related to their efforts to avoid abandonment (which tends to be frantic and obsessive), their emotional reactivity (which may be due to increased activation of the amygdala), and it may be a way to try to combat the feelings of emptiness that are often a symptom. Unstable sense of self can also be an issue among those with BPD and perhaps this is a way for them to try to stabilize that.
