Nymphomaiia is an obsessive compulsive psychological disorder.
[QUOTE=VeryHorny;3942040]So are nymphomaniac's real or just a myth?.[/QUOTE]Many women are hypersexual. Quite often, this is confused with clinical nymphomania. Most men are hypersexual, but few are classified as nymphomaniacs. I mean, that's why this forum exists. It's for the hypersexual male, and there are a bunch of us. We also tend to navigate daily life well. A nymphomaniac doesn't do life well.
Clinically, there is broad spectrum of how clinicians and psychiatrists determine when being hypersexual crosses into nymphomania, but most agree that as a baseline, a nymphomaniac is more often a female, has a constant and incessant need to be sexual, often does not derive pleasure from it, often dislikes themselves after an event, takes risks to satisfy the obsession, often to the detriment of their job, family, health, status and other factors that are normally attributed to a "healthy" and "normal" lifestyle.
Nymphomaniacs will most often have multiple short-term partners, not be sexually safe, will be sexual with most anyone, even themselves when necessary, in locations not considered private or safe, and their behavior is not only obsessive compulsive (OC), but in many cases, can be bipolar in nature. They will go through cycles of being a nymphomaniac, then abstain, then repeat the cycle. Nymphomaniacs generally are not picky about their partner. Yes, they may have a preference, but will settle easily if that's what's required and options are limited.
I have known one nymphomaniac in my lifetime, but never rode the train with her. She found it easy to talk to me when she was in college, and I became a confidant that she trusted to talk about her lifestyle without judgment. She was an intern where I worked, and we just clicked. She was working on her JD, and even after passing the bar and finding employment, she could not change what she was. She offered to do me, but I didn't. I'm not a prude, but she was 10 years younger than me, and my "oh shit this is trouble" detector kept going off, so we talked a lot at work, and have kept in touch over the years.
She's in her 50's now, has been in and out of therapy, and her condition has cost her a lot in life in terms of family and career. In her words, it was never about sex, or her favorite thing to do, giving blow jobs. It was just something she had to do, and like any fix, it wore off quickly and she needed another fix. If you've ever thought of something sexual, she's likely done it with someone.
She would not be sexual with the same person very often, because again in her words, doing so reminded her of her condition, which she hated. By picking new and unknown partners, it made her feel better about herself because they didn't know about her condition. This in itself caused her problems, because (and we all know guys like this) some guys fell in love with her (or perhaps her abilities), and she knew she could not have a lasting relationship in her condition. Some of these guys that fell in love would cause problems because they believed that they had a relationship with her and got into that "don't dump me" syndrome thing. That too caused her problems at her work. She tried relationships over the years, but it wasn't workable for her partners, of course, even to this day. While she would be sexual with females, she preferred males.
She would often call or email me after an "excursion," often moments after it ended. Even after graduation and moving on, she kept in touch, and would give graphic detail about who, when, where, how long, and how the finish line was crossed, etc. She would often tell me that she wished she could figure out why she craved dicks so much, and that she just loved everything about dicks. Looking at them, touching them, using them, the way they tasted, felt in her different slots, and the overwhelming urge to find another. She often told me that she immensely disliked herself shortly after the conquest was over. That was, until she had to do it again. True nymphomania is a psychological disorder, not simply an over active sex drive that most of us, male or female, have learned how to manage and mitigate to successfully navigate life, family, and career.
Some of us may know people that have various OC disorders and what their behavior is like. They can be germ phobic, neat freaks, constantly checking their wallet or purse, or their homes become junk yards because they can't discard anything. Many people have OC disorders that are manageable and don't interfere much in their daily life interaction with others (as long as you don't interfere with their disorder ritual). I've worked with several germ phobic people that literally had a belt pouch to carry hand sanitizer with them. They used it constantly, but they functioned, and always smell like a dentist office. But, they did their job and got though the day with minimal effect on others. Nymphomania is the same, an OC disorder, but it has a much bigger impact on daily life interactions. Those that have it, find it difficult at best, and for many, life ruining to live with.
If lucky enough to find a hypersexual female, be thankful. If you happen upon a true nymphomaniac, don't plan on her sticking around too long. Life is short and there are so many dicks. Yours won't be the first, or the last, so don't fall in love.
