Hypersexuality is the desire to engage in human sexual behavior at a level high enough to be considered clinically significant.

Concept
The concept of hypersexuality replaces the older concepts of nymphomania (or furor uterinus) and satyriasis. 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). "Nymphomania" and "satyriasis" are no longer listed as specific disorders in the DSM-IV, though they remain a part of ICD-10.
The threshold for what constitutes hypersexuality is subject to debate, and critics question whether a standardized diagnostic threshold even exists. Sex drive varies widely in humans; what one person would regard as a normal sex drive might be deemed to be excessive by some and low by others.
Associated conditions
People who suffer from bipolar disorder may often display tremendous swings in sex drive, depending on their mood. Hypersexuality may be expressed during periods of mania or hypomania.
Several neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's disease,[1] various types of brain injury,[2] Kluver-Bucy syndrome,[3] Kleine-Levin syndrome,[4] and many more neuro-degenerative diseases can cause hypersexual behavior. Importantly, at times, drugs could contribute to hypersexual behavior.

We really needed to be updated about hypersexuality to better understand some writers
I must be hypo, does it exist? Like frigid...does it exist in english ?
Senza are you hyper?
Anonimo second I am not and if I were I wouldn't tell you,2) contro are you frigid? lol 3) anonimo first you bet we need understanding ...
ok , what just happened?
I DON'T what happened Maggs.?
I WAS JUST IN THE MIDDLE OF an EAR-DRUM CRUSHING ORGASM ..... & Started HYPER-VENTILATING.......
Mrs K....it's important that we breathe, in all circumstances ! LOL
I just have to say something, and i hope it will be taken into consideration: It seems that there is a bit of underlying " stuff" going on in the journal, subtle innuendos which are meant to offend certain people. I either dont remember it to be this way, or was my head in the clouds? No, im not here to stick up for anyone, as i can see people are able to take care of themselves....BUT it does affect me. Ive always regarded this to be a place where we can relax and have fun....learn new things, share things about ourselves, our point of views etc... without being judged (at least not openly.)
If i see an entry which doesnt interst me for whatever reason, i dont feel the need to read it, and criticize it..we are not journalists, or critics. I simply overlook it and move on to the next entry. If on the other hand there is some animosity between myself and another person, i may want to contact that person in private and tell them what is on my mind, or i may just continue to ignore them. But the passive/aggressive remarks that im reading are obviously not working, and i feel they set a tone not conducive to what the author had in mind, when he created this blog.
So....can we just ( really ) all get along??
PS i dont need to learn about any sexual functions or dysfunctions in order to understand any of the writers. Frankly, i couldnt care less....and it makes me wonder why anyone would care??!!
with love always,
