Are you married? or is sex with one woman? i think this makes a difference between Nympho and sex addition. with all kinds of diffrent women maybe sex addidtion, isn’t that what they said about Tiger woods.

From what I understand about sex addiction, there is actually a chemical aspect. The brain has an imbalance of a certain chemical produced during orgasm and someone who is addicted to sex is actually addicted to orgasms because only then do their brains get the proper balance of chemicals. Or something like that. I’m not entirely sure.

No I’m not married. This isn’t about me… it’s about… um… a friend…

OK, fess up “bobby”. Your real name is Swiskgar Swigelf, isn’t it? ;)

Nymphomania is a form of Sex Addiction.

Sex Addiction, not necessarily having to do with “sex.”

I’d say it is a condition, a mental condition.

Most likely much less about actual sex drive and physical gratification than symptomatic of someone who needs attention and is over identified with using their sexuality as a means of validating their shakey sense of self esteem.

Lots of messed up girls/women that confuse & use their sexual ‘power’ as a means to regulate their emotional equilibrium, ( self worth. )

@ChazMaz Sex Addiction, not necessarily having to do with “sex.” What do you mean?

Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous is one way of working on a sex addiction. There are also therapists that specialize in sex addiction. @KatawaGrey is right. When you fall in love or have sex with someone new, you get a hit of dopamine. It’s a high, just like a drug high.

“Sex Addiction” usually leads back to some form of “trauma.”

And individuals need to feel needed. Sex being a quick fix to get it.
Usually “sex addicts” after their release. Feel let down and unsatisfied, and are back to looking for that “high” again.

Basically, what they think they want and need is not it at all.

@ChazMaz :))))

Yes I think it exists. Why would you want it to be treated? I wouldn’t say it is anywhere near the same as sex addiction.

I will say this. Individuals like Tiger Woods. Are not sex addicts. It the text book sense.

They are “children” with too much candy in front of them. Showing nothing more then actions of irresponsibility.

Using the excuse of Sex addiction as a way to kiss a few asses in order to get back into the game.

@ChazMaz Well said.

@ChazMaz Tiger is all about Tiger!

Yeah, a lot of what is labeled ‘sex addiction’ is really just the antics of the grossly narcissistic. All about them, all the time.

@ChazMaz I understand that Steven Tyler is a true sex addict, though. Your thoughts?

He might be.

One thing for sure, his lifestyle allows him to enjoy a bigger jar of candy then most.
And, get away with it.

Dirk Diggler at your service,swinging dick for hire will do anything for cash.

It’s just a social construct. Men who fuck a lot of women are admired, and women caught doing the same thing are disparaged. It is a noxious, pejorative term, and there is no such “condition” in the peer-reviewed compendia of mental disorders.

Some women have difficulties achieving orgasm or are non-orgasmic. Often they turn to many men, which is the wrong way to becoming orgasmic.

I don’t know if there is such a thing but what @KatawaGrey, @ChazMaz and @wundayatta write makes sense to me.

@ChazMaz…ok i guess you make a little bit of sence. But just a little. Sex is sex and we all want it!

Yes. I’ve encountered a few women with this condition :-p

You mean they were sufficiently pathological to agree to fuck you? I hadn’t considered that when I suggested there was no such condition as nymphomania.You may finally have defined it.

@dpworkin – Indeed they were. In fact, they often write to me and invite me for a romp after reading my erotic-thriller-horror stories…

“Sex is sex and we all want it!”

Yes we do. Some for reasons that are not sexual.

And lets face it, plenty abuse what it was intended for.

@ChazMaz Sex is sex and we all want it. We sure do!

I abuse it all the time:)

well, i’m a Nymph, and damn proud of it! thought all men were nymphs!

I don’t like the term Nymphomania, as it is a throw-back to the old days of psychology when this term was used as yet another tool to discredit women.

@JeffVader really…didn’t know that, but does make sense!

@BoBo1946 Yeh…. I only found that one out when I was dating a Psychologist. I was helping her with some revision for her doctorate & there was an article on how psychology was used in the past to discriminate against all sorts of things.
