Nymphomania or hypersexuality has been defined as an increased sexual drive. It has been thought of as a serious medical condition particularly affecting woman.
While nymphomania was a gendered disorder, men were not immune. The male equivalent, satyriasis, it was also known as Don Juan syndrome in the 1900s.
Nymphomania is a mental disorder marked by compulsive sexual behavior, but compulsive sexual behavior is a serious illness, sometimes it could be due to sexual diseases like vaginal itching, vaginal oversensitivity etc.
Compulsions are unwanted actions, or rituals, that a person engages in repeatedly without getting pleasure from them or being able to control them. Nymphomaniacs act out their compulsions by engaging is risky sexual behavior.
Technically, the term “nymphomania” refers to a woman, though that definition has expanded to include anyone who engages in risky compulsive sexual behavior.
What is female nymphomania or hypersexuality?
Nymphomania was unknown and this was because men and women’s bodies were not thought of being very different, which is why it didn’t seem strange when women were equally lusty as men. In olden times it has also been claimed that women are able to experience pleasure nine times greater than a man. Nymphomania fell out of favor as female sexual desire was a normal part of human sexuality.
Symptoms
The primary symptom of nymphomania is compulsive sexual behavior, including promiscuity. It may occur with other symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder or other mental illnesses or personality disorders. Some patients have severe itching, burning and/or tingling like feelings in their vagaina.
