Affected person spills the beans

Sufferer reveals: “Had no more control”

Her thoughts revolved around one thing only: how an addiction destroyed the marriage and life of a "Krone" reader and she only realized late on that it was nymphomania. Because people who are constantly on the hunt for sex partners have no time for feelings.

People who satisfy themselves up to 20 times a day are often less satisfied than exhausted. This extremely high frequency of sexual activity, known as "Don Juanism" in men and "nymphomania" in women, is medically classified as hypersexuality. For those affected, the act is not associated with love, intimacy or pleasure. Instead, they struggle with inner emptiness and constant feelings of fear, inferiority and failure, which makes them repeatedly search for the brief high of an orgasm. Those affected often experience little compassion and understanding.
