Question 1

how can i stop my nymphomania?

Accepted Answer

Get Help: See a psychiatrist for an evaluation and develop a treatment plan that will help. Postponing treatment will only delay getting the problem addressed.

Question 2

is it possible to self diagnos nymphomania? i've read articles online. i had an episode across last summer where i cheated on my fianc.

Accepted Answer

Not really: Nymphomania isn't just an insatiable desire for sex - that could be sex addiction if it has a long, increasingly severe history. Rather, in nymphomania there is also inability to reach orgasm. In your case, it sounds like you had a single affair lasting a few months? It sounds like it needs to be explored and understood better. I would see a therapist to figure out what the cheating was about.

Question 3

hypersexuality in a young woman is nymphomania?

Accepted Answer

Not just that: Nymphomania is a mental disorder marked by compulsive sexual behavior. Compulsions are unwanted actions or rituals that a person does repeatedly without getting pleasure from them, or being able to control them. In nymphomania (sometimes also known as don juanism in men),  these compulsions are risky & promiscuous sexual behavior. There may be feelings of guilt and shame also.

Question 4

how come nymphomania is considered a mental illness in women but not similarly for men?

Accepted Answer

Not true: These days sexual addiction is considered a disorder for both men and women. At least in the medical community. In the non-medical world, of course, this may not be the case.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Depends on age: If you are a healthy young man, blood pressure, weight and height may be all you need. If you are a woman over 21, you should have pap smears. Lipids should be checked after age 25, and women over 40 should have mammograms.

Question 9

are fingerstick tests accurate?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if done right: There are certain techniques that have to be observed, such as not squeezing the finger, etc. That must be observed.  If everything is done right the resultant blood test results are quite accurate. The fingerstick blood sugars are one of the most important things that a diabetic can doo help him/herself.
