Nymphomaniac

"Nymphomaniac" is a term historically used to describe someone, typically a woman, with an excessive or compulsive desire for sexual activity. It is not a clinical diagnosis but has been associated with certain psychological conditions involving hypersexuality or sexual addiction. In medical and psychological contexts, such behaviors may be linked to underlying issues like mental health disorders, trauma, or impulse control problems. Modern understanding emphasizes the importance of respectful, non-judgmental approaches and recognizes that intense sexual desire alone does not indicate pathology unless it causes significant distress or impairment.
