Nymphomania

Nymphomania (from ancient Greek νύμφη - “bride”, “virgin” and μανία - “passion” - passion for sexual pleasure, characterized by frenzy) - psychosexual perversion, sexual perversion, characterized by an excessive desire for sexual intercourse, as well as pathological hypersexuality . With this type of sexual hypersexuality, there is a loss of control over instinct; Their behavior resembles that of a man. Attraction occurs suddenly, spontaneously, is accompanied by violent manifestations of emotions and is characterized by an intensification of all manifestations of sexuality. In addition, there is constantly recurring sexual activity in short periods of time. It differs from homosexuality genetically: it occurs from disturbances in the normal production of sex hormones, both female and male.

Nymphomania and its treatment Until the end of the 60s, doctors only equated nymphomania (like male homosexuality) with sexual perversion, and it was not considered a separate disease.

Modern researchers define nymphomania as systematic or repeated persistent sexual arousal with normal libido. An exacerbation of sexual desire is observed in subjects who are outwardly calm. Sexual symptoms may be related to the frequency of sexual intercourse. Nymphomaniacs masturbate twice as often as ordinary women, men - a little less often. The number of sexual partners among nymphomaniacs in total exceeds that of ordinary people by approximately 5-7 times.
