Over Sexed

People that enjoy having sex all the time are sometimes labeled nymphos or sex addics. Is there such things or is it just so enjoyable to some?

Both nymphomania and satyriasis are on the books as psychiatric disorders. Both involve seemingly insatiable needs for sex. Both are considered to be more mental than physical disorders.

I do not know where one crosses the line from a healthy sexual appetite to an excessive one to one of the disorders mentioned. I have never encountered true nymphomania or satyriasis. They could be considered forms of addiction and are frequently treated as such. That would make the answer to your question: If the need for sexual stimulation and satisfaction interferes with normal relationships, including family and work, it has become a self-destructive addicition.

Thwew were diagnoses that was quite common during periods of sexual repression such as the Dark Ages in Europe. Today, I believe it is quite rare.
