Is it normal to have nymphomania? does it even exist?

Do you think Nymphomania exists?
And if so, is it normal?

Maybe mine is more in the mind, despite having sexual encounters (not many different partners actually) for fear of some thing or another. But it's still very much part of my life, as well as in my mind.

I used to think it probably didn't exist, and the people who claimed to have it were either "whores" (either sex) trying to justify it with a "handicap", a scapegoat and justification to their sin, obviously by now you can tell I grew up in a religious household, I'm Agnostic now, but that's neither here or there.

Then after some miniscule mind opening, I was open to it, but it was probably more of a nurture type thing, rather than nature, despite being well aware of how humans interacted and were basically just horndogs who like to have a war to keep things interesting and in the toilet every decade or so (spoiler alert: I'm American)
But figured it was probably something that caused a "charge" in adolescence that was just too soon, premature, etc like molestation or elementary school peer pressure (I've heard stories, yet was not something I dealt with personally) and so that was what I decided was the common denominator. Environment.

But then looking back on things I noticed there were a lot of similarities to even my upbringing to these people I felt sorry for, or thought they were just trying to look better after doing horrible things, and it made me feel guilty.

I still don't know the right answers, if there are any, but it wouldn't be normal would it?
Or maybe it's normal, and what's preferred was normal is also a lie.

    No it's not normal to be a sex addict.

    Nymphomaniacs are by definition are only women. Hypersexuals is the blanket term. Sex addicts is the derogatory (but apt) term.

    Men cant be nymphomaniacs because their sexual desires can range to the nymphomania levels to non existance. It's more of a rule for men rather than an exception. It's not typical for women to be that promiscuous. You can be addicted to sex, the same way you can be addicted to nearly everything.

    Not for any moral reason. Just pragmatic evolution. Guys dont have an above 50% chance to die of childbirth thus arent as inclined to have a limiter to having sex.

    That being said it exists. My girlfriend is one, and it can SUCK... for me

      That seems pretty sexist against men. You're essentially saying all men are sexual degenerates with little to no control over their urge to hump anything with at least two legs and a pulse, whereas women barely even have sexual urges. What about your girlfriend who demands sex all the time? Is she a nymphomaniac or just an abnormal woman?

        Biology is sexist. And I'm coming from the low end of the sexual appetite spectrum.

        And yes, she comes from a prolific sex addict.

        I even break down what each word means in the comment section. Nymphomania is an archaic term that applies only to woman. As sex addiction in men wasnt an understood disorder, rather it was portrayed through culture to be normal. That's why for the majority of human history sex addiction wasnt thought possible in men since a good chunk of us go through that in adolescence or when avalible.

    • You seriously don't think a man can be a nympho/sex addict/whatever you want to label it as?
      Just women?

      And still the song remains the same, does it truly exist and is it normal?

      Or does the "blanket term" cover both men and women.
      Seems very unorganized

        Blanket term means both men and women. Before criticizing, look up words and definitions beforehand. So you dont seem unorganized... again.
