Not a true disease, Webster, but a psychological disease. Much in the same way that
homosexuality is a pyschological disease, that is, it
was a psychological disease because of
religious and
cultural pre-dispositions. As if women don't have the right to
screw whatever they want to screw. Co-incidentally, one of the most famous prescriptions for
nymphomania and
Female Anxiety was the
vibrator, first used to treat these 'diseases' in the
1890s.
Is
nymphomania dangerous? Perhaps, through the possible spread of
Sexually Transmitted Diseases. However, this poses no more risk than any other excess. It is nobody's business other than your own and the people you choose to share that observation with if you are a
nymphomaniac. Although, this is not to say one should be allowed to hold a disregard for human life should someone be knowingly transmitting sexual diseases.
