Real nymphs ?
 

Would any of you actually consider yourself a nymph

I want to hear expecially from the women of the forum.
If you seriously take a look at your sexual desire. do you have to have sex and have it ofton.

I'm really curious of how many women are actually all into sex, like it is a priority and I figure TFP would be a great place to ask the question.
It also gets me pretty hot thinking about it, that there are women out there that crave to Fuck.

hope this is not to intimate a question

P.S I did a search for nypmhs on the sexuality boards didn t see this subject.
If there is already a question like this one feel free to combine it.

I think the women on this "adult" board might not be the best sample for your little study ;)

Me? If I had a boyfriend I'm fairly certain I'd be all over him most of the time. But alas, I dont.

I dont think I'd consider myself a "nymph" though. Maybe I am. Maybe I've grown some since my ex-boyfriend. I'll let you know when Im in a relationship again :)

lol... ever seen the porn nymph with chasey lain... its a good one...:p

but ill check back here... interested to see what other people say...

I crave sex a bunch... i dont understand... i went 17 years without it.... and now i start to go crazy after a few months without it...

Heeeheheheheheheheheh........^__^

Dated a women who was close to being a nympho and the average times per month was 30-50 times, and to boot she had a brutal menstrual cycle that would last 7 solid days. Man, boxes of pads and tampons.

Still at least twice a day was the norm. When she was flowing and drinking, we would take alternate routes. This went on for years 'til she found someone else who had a keener interest in fucking her.

Only ever heard of one.. my supervisor apparently was in a relationship with one for a couple of years.. it had been a year since he'd broken up with her and only had just then started to think about sex.

He used to HAVE to give it 2-3 times a night 7 days a week.. bugger that.. urgh..

2-3 times a night would be good for me.. but NOT 7 days a week.. lol :crazy:

That's my girlfriend. She is a nympho. Praise God.

When I was depressed a few years ago, it was just sex, sex, sex. I have reasoned that cos I haven't been in love at that tme but wanted to feel that feeling or cos I sometimes feel nobody loves me, I can emulate the feeling by getting really aroused and getting off but when you feel just raw after days on a hump-spree, and there's no sight of anything like love, you will look into The Void and the depression is even worse. Then there's been nymphomaniac life periods cos of new flames and wanting that intresting body and soul all-the-phukking-time..

Thenagain, last Monday the teenage toyboy whined I got too good stamina cos his stomach hurt for a few days and he has muscles. And he was 1 of 3 men that weekend. *shrug*

But it isn't just fucking. Sometimes it's wanting to suck. Sometimes it's wanting someone to sleep beside you. Sometimes someone having in you. And sometimes when you get what you want, it's not how you wanted it to be and then you are not a nympho, then you just think "bah, I wanna sleep a thousand years".

</mindflow>

Having a child around the house constantly and other children up to 17 hours out of the day it can definately put a damper on things. Whenever we have a chance though we tend to want to do the deed. From what I understand there are VERY few women today who are what psychology would call Nymphomaniac - at least in the clinical definition though. I would say that I'm fairly close. My average (with children in house) is about once a day but there are some days where our mornings start early and then our girl doesn't want to sleep until after hubby's asleep and it just doesn't happen. There are those days when we meet up with a couple and swing. Then I often end up with 3 and 4 times in a night and up to 17 times in one day at a swinger house party. I've found that the more sex I have (and the less interruption from children) that the more I crave it. It's like an addiction to me I think. I have to have more or push my limits more to feel satisfied. There have been those times in my life where I wanted nothing to do with sex but those were times where I was physically struggling - either after serious surgery or so anemic and week that I hadn't the strength. I do remember that I was masterbating as early as 4th grade so if that's maybe one indicator that I am a nympho.

As mentioned above - I don't think you are going to get a good cross section of the general female population here on this board.

A FEW MONTHS, oh god I'd die!!!!... And those saying 2 to 3 times a night...geesh why cant it be just one long one with like breaks in between.... hehehehhehe

Been called nympho and over sexed. I dooooooooooooo love it.. And I love variety in play...

sounds like my g/f, she's a nightmare if she doesn't get it at least 3 times a day, it's fun when your in the mood, hell yeh it is, but when your knackered and just wana sleep, it's just a case of 'go on, take what you want, i'm going to sleep'.
now, when i'm on holiday and i come back, thats fun:D

No such thing as nymphomania... unless you're from the world's sexually repressed past.

and p.s. 2 to 3 times a day or night is not that bad. try 7 times a day 7 times a week.

motdakasha, who do you know who has to have it that often?

My girlfriend, thankfully, is not a nymphomaniac. We both enjoy sleeping too much.

my evil ex when we were going through the honeymoon phase. technically, for a male it would be "don juanism," except that those terms are extinct.
NO SUCH THING AS NYMPHOS.

------------------------------------------
Added:

In the modern medical world, the idea of nymphomania and don juanism are obsolete. But of course, no one is listening to me.

The thought makes me shudder a bit. I'd be too worried about chafing myself raw to have sex that often.

If not chafing, then wasting my budget on heinous amounts of lubricants.

I'm not really sure....well if I don't have sex every week or so I, well ok yeah I go through withdrawl, hmmm 30 someodd women in 3 years, doubt that qualifies me but yawl can judge.

as i understand nymphomania it is more aligned with the act of sex being engaged in rather than taking pleasure in it. so in the strictest terms it would be the addiction to the act wether one enjoyed it or not rather than the enjoyment of the act. in which case it would seem none of these people seem to suffer from the affliction.

Going off what society thinks of a nympho, I could be one, yes. I enjoy having sex whenever I can, and if I had my way, I would have it two to three times a day everyday.

By Atomsk's definition, I am even more of a nympho, because I enjoy sex just as much if I got no pleasure. To me, half the fun in sex is getting my partner off.

Can I be a male nympho? I want sex all the time. hehehe

:)

Did you read what I said about depression and wanting sex 24/7 to the point where it was no more pleasurable or made sense, but just made mind more fucked up and body screams more?

Those comments really make me sad. I hope I never go to that place in my head. I'm glad you've moved out of it.

I crave sex constantly. Sometimes it is not so much the thought of actually getting off but being close with my partner.

I would say average for me would be a couple times a day. Then there are days when it is 4-5 times a day then we might skip a day or two. Ebb and flow is what it is all about.

My ex could not keep up with my sex drive. Now that I finally have a man who is on the same level as me I enjoy it more then ever.

Thanks everyone for your feedback!

They may not call it "nymphomania" so much anymore, but there is such thing as sexual addiction. Do a google search. It's very real.

The Straight Dope is a very reliable source, IMO, and here's their take on so-called sexual addiction:
The emphasis is mine, not the original text. DSM is the official manual for mental disorders and diseases, it's like the psychiatrist and psychologist bible. I disagree and think it's very not real and a social creation to explain people who they view as "too" sexually active.

Motdakasha, the DSM is also a social construct ;). Behavior that may be called mental illness in one society may not be in another. There's a much better definition (IMO) of mental illness than "something that's in the DSM." I think its safe to say that if someone has unusual thoughts or behavior that interferes with their daily life, then there's a "problem." There are certainly people who require sex so much that it ends up hurting them. By "require," I mean that the person would become depressed or otherwise dysfunctional if going without sex for a short period of time.

And your quote mentions Bill Clinton as a proposed "victim" of this - that's amusing. Having affairs doesn't mean that you're addicted to sex. There are many other more likely explanations.

I don't know if you missed it, but that's exactly what that quote was getting at. There are other reasons to explain an alleged "sex addiction."

And yeah DSM is a social construct, but it is the most current, modern one at the moment. Meaning that from now and in the future, the medical world no longer believes there is a such thing as a "real" nympho.

This is a nymph.

There are no real nymphs.


ps. i agree with Kinsey: nymphomaniac is an outdated term for "someone who has more sex than you do."

The "medical world" does agree that there IS people who want sex obsessively so that it fits to criteria of neurotic or obsessive behaviours. It's listed as one of the symptoms in many mental ilnesses or conditions. Former maniac depressive aka bipolar disorder or obsessive-compulsive disorders etc.

Now we are really far from what the orginal writer of this thread wanted to hear. But there exists a kind of sex addiction(s) that can be called nymphomania or then call it something else, but it can get you to go to a shrink instead of bed with someone.

the more i get the more i want :)
