Nymphomania

The desire does not stop. It is not the natural longing that comes and goes like a wave — it is a hunger that announces itself anew after every meal. Barely is the encounter over, barely has the body calmed, when the restlessness sets in again. Not as a gentle yearning, but as urgency. As if you had to fill something that empties itself again and again.

Medicine speaks of heightened sex drive, of hormonal or neurochemical factors. And that level is real. But the psychosomatic question goes deeper: Why does your system need a constant confirmation from outside that you exist? What is missing in you that you keep trying to supplement through another person?

Nymphomania is not a sign of strength or freedom. It is the expression of a deep search — for something no other person can give you.
