Nymphomaniac – when?

Nymphomaniac or not? – When are men and women sex addicts?

“Nymphomania”, the other word for sex addiction, has an all-female character. Actually unfair, because many more men than women suffer from this insatiable addiction to sex. There is another, far less well-known term for the man’s obsessive pursuit of the frequent scuffle in the bed sheets – or wherever it pleases -: “Don Juan complex” or “satyriasis”. But when does one speak of nymphomania?

The difference between a sex addict and “normal”

Nymphomaniac women constantly seek sexual gratification, but rarely obtain it. The search for the partner who gives them fulfillment in bed determines their life. A nymphomaniac is usually not able to experience orgasms. Nymphomaniac women often do not even develop an inner bond with their partners. If the lover does not fulfill the hoped-for erotic expectations, the connection is broken off and a new one is soon established. On the other hand, women who only take the initiative more actively when looking for a partner, who value a wide range of sexual experiences, but who do achieve orgasm and are therefore capable of sexual satisfaction, often live with the reputation of being a nymphomaniac or even become “sluts”. scolded, but are definitely not obsessed with sex, but completely healthy from a medical point of view. However, experience has shown that male womanizers are not even suspected of being sex addicts, are accepted with a pat on the back or even admired by their buddies.

Nymphomaniac – cause is psychological

According to experts, the massively increased sex drive has no specific cause. Several psychological and psychological factors have an influence here. The social environment, predisposition, but above all negative childhood experiences such as abuse , low self-esteem or disturbed emotional relationships could have led to the gradually developing sex addiction. The addictive behavior increases slowly and can have a detrimental effect on the health and personality of the person affected over a long period of time. Quite apart from the increased risk of contracting sexually transmitted or other infectious diseases. It was not uncommon for sex addicts to isolate themselves from their environment despite frequent sexual contact.
