Best Answer

A nymphomaniac is woman with excessive sexual desires. Nymphomania is an uncontrolled desire for sex. It is usually not a physical condition. Instead, it is mainly a psychological condition where the victim seeks multiple sexual encounters as a way of self affirmation rather than satisfaction of sexual desire. If you believe you are a nymphomaniac consult a therapist. Do not pursue random, unfulfilling sexual encounters with strangers who may not have YOUR best interests at heart.

The concept of hypersexuality replaces the older concepts of nymphomania. Nymphomania was believed to be a female psychological disorder characterized by an overactive libido and an obsession with sex. In males the disorder was called satyriasis (for etymology of the words, see nymph and satyr).

Nymphomanic is a term for a woman with hypersexuality. The male term is satyriasis.

Hypersexuality is extremely frequent or suddenly increased sexual urges or sexual activity. Although hypersexuality can be caused by some medical conditions or medications, in most cases the cause is unknown. Mental health problems such as borderline personality disorder can give rise to hypersexuality, and alcohol and some drugs can affect social and sexual inhibitions in some people. A number of theoretical models have been used to explain or treat hypersexuality. The most common one, especially in the popular media, is the sexual addiction approach, but sexologists have not reached any consensus. Alternative explanations for the condition include compulsive and impulsive behavioral models.

Well the male form to Nymphomania is satyriasis so I would believe it to be a satyriasic or something similar to that? It makes sense to be like that.

the term nymphomaniac refers specifically to a woman who is addicted to sex. The term for a man addicted to sex is called saytrism. So the answer is yes, just with a different term!
