Is being a nymphomaniac a bad thing for a girl?

[Desconhecida]

I'm just wondering about the difference between men and women when it comes to high sex drive... please be serious about your opinions.

[Chubby_Tasha_]

In my opinion, usually girls have more sex drive than guys.
If a girl truly loves a guy, she gives everything to him, just for his happiness.
Talking about nymphomaniac, or sex addicts, I'm also confused what kind of girl will be termed as "Nymphomaniac",
One who does lots and lots of sex, or
The one who wants more and more guys for sex, can someone clear me this thing, just had a doubt?

[aialex]

Nope if she had a guy that can match hers.

[Jackpot777]

Well only if it ends up getting out of hand to the point it is interfering with her life and relationships

[NYCQuestions1976]

If it doesn't interfere with your everyday life and routine, then it shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks for Most Helpful.

Term Nymphomaniac was historically used to refer to women, but the word means both men and women who has an abnormally high sex drive and craves sex nearly all the time. It is hypersexuality, particularly for a female whose sex drive is obsessively high. It is considered a mental illness, but colloquially means a horny girl. Not to be confused with slut where one's sexual dignity is pathetically low, nymphomania is simply related to an abnormally high sex drive. A man or a female whose desire for sex is obsessively high resulting in multiple sex encounters per day or excessive masturbation, and never satisfied even after the greatest shag marathon ever they are still gagging for it.
Nymphomania is a mental disorder marked by compulsive sexual behavior. Compulsions are unwanted actions, or rituals, that a person engages in repeatedly without getting pleasure from them or being able to control them. In the case of nymphomania, people act out their compulsions by engaging in risky behaviors such as promiscuity. Compulsive sexual behavior is a real and serious illness.
Nymphomania can happen to any adult, though it is thought that it may be more common in women and homosexual men. In addition to compulsive sexual behavior, nymphomania may include problems thinking, unwanted repetitive thoughts (obsession), and feelings of guilt, shame or inadequacy. The underlying cause of nymphomania is not known. Nymphomania is a mental and emotional condition, and, like other such conditions, is complicated. Like other mental illnesses, nymphomania may arise as a result of social environment, heredity, and life events. It is also linked to a chemical imbalance in the brain.
Treatment for nymphomania may involve psychotherapy and medication. The primary symptom of nymphomania is compulsive sexual behavior, including promiscuity. You may experience nymphomania symptoms daily or just once in a while.
The exact cause of nymphomania is not known. Nymphomania is a type of compulsive disorder marked by mental and emotional imbalance. It is thought that certain life events may trigger people who are predisposed to nymphomania (for hereditary or environmental reasons) to engage in compulsive sexual behavior. Like many other mental illnesses, nymphomania may be linked to an imbalance in chemicals in the brain (neurotransmitters). A number of factors increase the risk of developing nymphomania. Not all people with risk factors will get nymphomania.
There is no sure cure for nymphomania. Medications for nymphomania may include antidepressants or anti-anxiety or antipsychotic medications. Because compulsive sexual behavior is risky, people with nymphomania are at increased risk for developing complications such as sexually transmitted diseases. Like many other mental illnesses, nymphomania may be treated with medication, psychotherapy, or a combination of the two. With treatment, it is possible to manage compulsive sexual behavior.
Treatments for nymphomania are similar to treatment for other compulsive disorders, and may include:
Cognitive behavioral therapy (to help you cope with triggers)
Family or social therapy
Medications, including anti-anxiety medications, antidepressant medications, and antipsychotic medications
Eating a balanced and healthy diet and engaging in social activities and other activities that you find enjoyable and regular exercise and sleep also help to treat. Complementary treatments are not meant to substitute for traditional medical care. Complementary treatments may include: Acupuncture, Nutritional dietary supplements, (herbal remedies, tea beverages, and similar) and Yoga.

Nymphomania is no longer the term used. It would best be described now as a sex addiction. It's usually a symptom of a larger problem.

It's not good.

Simply enjoying sex and being sexually active are not pathological.

[lightbulb27]

High sex drive is not a problem unless it gets in the way of life or causes trust breakdown. lots of women I'd say do have high sex drives at diff times. wear guys out...
there is an energy reality... only so much of it to go around.

[Berethor]

The main problem is when a girl turn into a full slut because of that or if the guy can't keep up with the nymphomaniac girl, and technically it's actually can be harder for a guy to keep up, because a guy usually don't just lie there like girls can.

It's a definitely a bad thing.

Liars like Laurieluvsit make out that it's hip and cool, but it's a proper mental disorder. I knew a girl at university who had it, and she was completely out of control. I gave her a very, very wide berth.

I later ran into her at a company we were both working at. I believe almost anybody deserves a second chance, so I kept quiet about it. I figured if it was still a problem, I'd inevitably hear about it anyway. I never did, so I can only presume she got the help she needed.

[Bad_Man55]

I dated a nympho and it was awesome. I loved being wanted all the time and enjoyed her wanting to drain me anytime anywhere. Too bad the relationship aspect failed.. very fond memories.

[Jjpayne]

I think it's better for a girl to have a stronger want of sex for her SO but it's something that also needs to be kept in check because if it turns into obsession that's not healthy

[Phanta]

Women do not have a sex drive. That is a myth perpetuated by the Left to obscure differences between the sexes.

[GingerGuy]

I think it's a good thing. I want my partner to have a high sex drive.

[Finchie40]

I prefer a nympho just as long as she is Loyal to me

[0112358]

A high sex drive isn’t really nymphomania. Nymphomania is more like a sex addicting and in women is somewhat compounded by the fact that they physically can just... have almost unlimited sex.

So are you asking about women who want sex 3 timed a day? Or about women who literally once they start being sexual can’t stop for days on end?

[ravenengr]

its not a bad thing... seems likes it more accepted when men are then women... I know plenty women that are, but they usually donp't freely admit it, its taboo or something...

[Dondelino]

No, go for it girl!!!

[Nik1hil]

It à good thing for a girl..
Did you know nympho women have a more successful relationships..
Although they end up leaving if their sexual needs aren't met..
So I would say being nympho is way better than being cold hearted and love less

[Eridan]

Nymphomania is a mental disorder, I don't think there's anything good about having it. Although there are worse things to cope with in life for sure...

[MannMitAntworten]

No. The world needs more nymphomaniacs.

[hindril]

There really is nothing wrong with that. The fun thing is, if they just recently had sex and he hasn't recouped enough to get a full boner, he has a tongue. Also many toys to use on her can be fun if they both are willing and not too rough.

[hindril]

Could it be an addiction to the enjoyment one gets from sex? Like a drug? It does produce some chemicals that makes one feel more enlightened kind of like a high. I haven't really met a nympho so this is just speculation.

[Grond21]

I suspect there are ways that being a nymphomaniac would make her life better and ways it would make it worse. She certainly would have men interested her because men love sex and would love to have a woman who did as well. But the term nymphomaniac implies a disorder. And disorders always come with their own burdens. so while it would be fun, especially in the beginning, it may get tiring for the man if she is pushing for sex all the time. (Crazy as that sounds).

And it would be hard for her because she would have this need or itch it would never be fully scratched.
And that would make having a committed relationship much more difficult.
Plus she would have to do a lot of work to have the proper perspective. She would probably deal with insecurities because she may feel that it is wrong to want sex so much as a woman. Or she may feel bad that she is initiating all the time. And if it is a disorder, that can make her own self-analysis even more difficult

[Caunsos]

Objectivily no there is nothing objectivily worng with a high sex drive. Subjectively it would most likely depend on mostly ones moral framework. If one find sexually shameful then a high sex drive to be shameful also. I am of the mind set the such take of morality are in fact immoral and any expression of sexuality where are all parties consenting is perfectly fine.

[stuntbrain]

Not necessarily. Nymphomania doesn't inevitably suggest a lack of control over sexual conduct
