Sex and Nymphomania

Extreme Sex Impulse: Nymphomania

Claudio Cesar Dutra de Souza
Psychologist and Sexologist

Do we like sex a little too much? How to deal with sexual impulse?

Nymphon - stands for nuptial chamber in Greek. Also in Greek mythology, nymphs are deities of nature, who seduce any virile stud they can lay their hands on, and so do the satyrs their male-counterparts with naive vestuals. This is where the roots of today's nymphomania spawned. Stemming from myths, nymphomania connotes the compulsion to have sex or as technicalities would have it, a pathology.

Why is it pathological? There would represent addiction to individuals likewise chain-smoking, alcoholism and drug taking. As linked directly to compulsion and anxiety, the nymphomaniac is sex junkie, addicted to sexual compulsion only for the sake of obsessive compulsion, without deriving any pleasure out of it. So, as sexual-obsession takes front seat, life in turn becomes somewhat difficult as daily chores and other ways of exchanging affection get left behind. As a result compunction sets in. Affected people generally go on about it, given that professional life and friendships become stigmatized. Having unprotected sex , getting freaky to push reality aside in order to get another kick .

More often than not, sexually compulsive relations are anorgasmic by all accounts. To put simple, its motto isn't pleasure but satisfaction derived from compulsion alone, much like in any given addiction. When sex-junkies loose control over their lives going out of their ways in detriment of addiction in nymphomania sexual obsession rules. In some serious cases of nymphomania, women and men alike have reported having sexual obsession relations with as much as fifty different sex-partners in just a month.

Among those accounted for were there work-mates, high ranking colleagues, peers and sex pros.
Furthering, generates highly emotional and professional stakes. Messing around, nymphomaniacs' melting pot mix up booze and recreational-drugs in, likely to push boundaries further by behaving compulsively and augmenting the likelihood of acquiring STD's.

Albeit, nymphomania revolves around pushing boundaries and, therefore should be treated suit.
Through psychotherapy one may ponder about its subliminal questions and come to an understanding. It would enable to uncover the underlying reasons for channeling so much attention to sex. As well as masquerading, it also further undermines other equally important life-aspects.

Alongside therapy, medication may be referred to be employed at initial phases. In order to minimize rebounding fits of anxiety experienced as behavioral parameters get fine tuned underway.

Self-support groups namely sex -addicts or compulsive behavior, cater for the likes, who in turn can exchange experiences, and thus, pass along information. The results are somewhat encouraging as self esteem builds up and anxiety suppresses, and likely to bring forth new insights in affectivity and sexuality alike. At times, members as overwhelmed by joy, surprisingly get to re-discover true sexual pleasure. But, what would denote normal in terms of frequency in sexual relation and also number of sex-partners? Bearing in mind that, from the sixties - sexual revolution and all its counterculture we spin off. How would I know if I were nymphomaniac or satyr? If I had, for instance, as many as fifteen sexual relations last week? It's as straightforward an answer that points towards what role-model sex would play in your life. Does it mean pleasure or repent and upset? Have you ever had family or professional set backs due to sex-appetite? Do one-off shags always appear awkwardly unfulfilling? Or, do you go by the notion that when feeling uptight from life- upheavals there isn't nothing better than soothing from overdoing night stands that sometimes even safer-sex gets overlooked ? If most of it you answered yes, you're in for professional help. To sum up, to get laid is wonderful and should've been done as many times you'd wished for, but if it turns obsessive doing your head in, care should be taken. Specialized treatment is needed if the delights and the joy of sex are to be brought back in your sex-life.

Therefore friendship and trustworthiness, reassurance and work are corner stones of our personal satisfaction.
