A nymphomaniac is a term traditionally used to describe a woman who has an excessive or uncontrollable sexual desire. It is often considered a pejorative term and is not used in clinical psychology today. The modern understanding of hypersexuality recognizes that sexual desire can vary widely among individuals and that labeling someone as a nymphomaniac can be stigmatizing. In contemporary contexts, the focus is more on understanding and addressing sexual behavior in a healthy and consensual manner.
