Did you know that the term “nymphomania”applies only to women? Male counterpart is called“satiriazis” . Both are inspired by Greek mythology: nymphs are “ gods minor, represented as some beautiful virgins “and satirii are” creatures with hair, described as having pointed ears, short legs and horns of the goat open grazing with a penchant for orgies. “

Why we’re all familiar with the term “nymphomania” and not “satiromanie? It’s quite likely that the desire to constantly engage in sexual activity is considered normal when it comes to men. In fact, historically speaking, the problem of female nymphomania was taken more seriously than her male counterpart. The treatments included cold baths, sedatives, bromide, cauterization and clitoridectomy.

The same book says also that phrenology that time believed that an enlarged cerebellum indicate an excessive sexual appetite. Phrenology believed that “the faculty that deals with sexual love and physical attraction is on the lower back of the head, behind the ears.” As the cerebellum is higher, and even the back of the head is higher, which means There are literally too much sex in the brain. In contrast to this view, Encyclopedia of Psychology says that scientists have recognized that the skull shape is not related to form the brain .

The term “nympho” is not recognized in the medical world because it is not scientifically meaningful simply because there are no specific criteria that define a nympho. In other words, there is no way to determine how much sexual desire or activity is too much. Instead, an obsessive person whose libido is high is called “hipersexual.” Another phrase used is “sex addiction”.

Even if it is used by medical staff, the word “nympho” is still in use in our vocabulary when talking about a girl sexually aroused and extremely active. Not to be confused with whore or prostitute, as if nymphomaniacs is simply a case of sexual desire abnormally high.
