The Over-Rated Nympho
From a friend’s med school text book:
…To many men, the idea of a women with a greater sex drive then their own is somewhat threatening, so they may use the label nymphomania to preserve their own egos: the label “proves” that the woman is abnormal. Similarly, the men with sexual dysfunction sometimes accuse their wives or partners of being “over-sexed” in an effort to hide their own fears and sense of inadequacy, just as some women who do not enjoy sex or object to the frequency of their husband’s or partner’s amorous desires accuse him of being oversexed. In our society, a man who is highly sexed and who has many sexual partners is generally (often enviously) called a “stud”, while a women with the same characteristics is often called a “nympho”, which carries a negative connotation.
What? They’re forgetting whore, slut, tramp, skank, and I’m sure many others that I still haven’t learned.
