satyriasis

In men, hypersexuality was traditionally called satyriasis, while similar behavior in women was described as nymphomania.

Erotomania (satyriasis and nymphomania), or abnormal exaltation of the sexual appetite.

A further degree of sexual hyperæsthesia is called Satyriasis in man, and nymphomania in woman.

In this case onanism is produced spontaneously as the result of psycho-sexual precocity or hereditary pathological satyriasis.

It is well known that, while satyriasis is rare, nymphomania is comparatively common.

When occurring in women this is also called Nymphomania, and in men Satyriasis.
