nymphomania
Nymphomania is a term historically used to describe a condition in which a woman has an abnormally intense and uncontrollable sexual desire or excessively frequent sexual urges. It is an outdated term and is considered stigmatizing. It's no longer recognized by medical professionals today. The equivalent newer term is hypersexuality, which can apply to people of any gender. The causes and treatments can vary widely and can often be associated with other mental health conditions.
