Transcript Nymph & Satyriasis


The word Nymph comes from Greek
mythology. Nymphs were females spirits
typically associated with specific parts of
nature such as the woods or water and bound
to those areas as well. In Greek mythology
Nymphs were free to associate sexually with
whomever they pleased and were not bound
by any sort of laws. The term "Nymphomania"
was created in modern psychology in
reference to a "desire to engage in human
sexual behavior at a level high enough to be
considered clinically significant. Another term
known as "Nymphomaniac" is considered to be
the person suffering from this disorder. Today in
popular culture the term has been shortened
to Nympho.

Satyriasis comes from the Greek word "satyros"
meaning "satyr." In Greek mythology, a satyr
was a creature that was part horse and part
goat that was used for sexual behavior and
causing riots.
Satyrs were know to not be able to resist
woman and wine.
Satyriasis, a clinical condition is excessive,
abnormal, or uncontrollable sexual behavior,
desire, and excitement in a male. It is basically
the male equivalent of nymphomania.
You can see the evolution of the term “satyr”
into satyriasis. The suffix “iasis” mean process
or condition adding this to the base word
creates the definition.
