| Description: |
This lively and fascinating exploration of nymphomania as organic disease, psychological disorder, legal construct, and locker-room joke takes a look at the surprising, contradictory, and illuminating history of the subject over the last 200 years. |
| Synopsis: |
Nymphomania organic disease, psychological disorder, legal construct, and locker-room joke. Throughout history, it's been all these and more. Today images of sexually available women permeate our culture, and curiosity about nymphomania appears to be as insatiable as the stereotypical nymphomaniac herself. Carol Groneman follows the idea of nymphomania over the last two hundred years, unraveling questions about how much is too much sex for women and who decides." |
