Can men be nymphos? Are you a nympho? How do you know?

Question

the online def only talks about women...And just having a really really high drive does...mean a thing, right?

Answer 1

Only women have Nymphomania.
Men have Satyriasis.
A non-gender specific term is hypersexuality.

Nymphs are any of the minor divinities of nature in classical mythology represented as beautiful maidens dwelling in the mountains, forests, trees, and waters.
The word Nymphae in latin means the inner lips of the vulva.

Satyrs are sylvan deities in Greek mythology having certain characteristics of a horse or goat and fond of Dionysian revelry (raucous partying and orgies). In English, Satyr can be used for a lecherous man or a male devil-like character.

I think that you don't often hear the term Satyriasis because the condition is so widespread - people generally just say, "he's a guy," instead of "he has satyriasis" - they mean the same thing.

Answer 2

Nympho Men

Answer 3

In Greek Mythology, a Nymph was a female entity of a species. For example a water Nymph also known as a Mermaid. It was believed that having statues of Nymphs around the your living area in Greek times, was an indication of your sexual readiness. When a women had Nymphs in her living area, she was said to be insane, because only men exhibited the idea that they were sexually ready. Another word for insane, in the Greek, is maniac. That is where we get the word Nymphomanic.

Can men be Nympho. Using the old Greek definition no they can not. They can however be sexual addicts, perverts, sex fiends, penis brains, pigs, you name it.

Answer 4

having a high sex drive and being a nympho are not the same. if you can control your sex drive $ are not out with every random guy that comes along having sex non stop then you are not a nympho - I have a high sex drive and am like that with my bf only - so nope I am not a nympho. men can be them also

Answer 5

I think the term refers to woman being nympho, the word nymph is a female Sprite-like Sprite that lives in woodland areas who lure men into sexual acts...men who have a high sex drive are referd to as Horny or simply Promiscuous.
