      Sexually oriented dating websites don't deliver the willing nymphomaniacs they advertise. https://press-files.anu.edu.au/downloads/press/n4128/pdf/book.pdf#page=387 …pic.twitter.com/MP6Pa0A6q7

      It would be interesting to know how many men actually do believe in nymphomaniacs, and whether that is related to other irrational beliefs, like that in alien abduction.

          I've been abducted by one before. I was taken to the stars before being left in a cow field. Not sure about aliens though.

          I don't believe in nymphomaniacs(or alien abduction) though clearly some women want more sex than others, in my experience.

          umm, they do exist. just because a dating site doesn’t offer them, there are people in real life with an abnormal sex drive. know someone personally who was married to a spouse that was so out of control, it was multiple times per day; eventually divorced over it

          What’s even more entertaining is the men who believe the lie that “women are more sexual than men” and the women who also reinforce it to prove some imagined sexual repression.

          ??? nymphomania is a verifiable thing that exists. If you work on a psych Ward long enough an occasional case will come through. (and be a nightmare because you have to keep a hypersexual person from having sex with the other patients ) kinda weird to compare to UFOs

          Which would indicate it was a disorder, and not the widespread type men hacullinate, led by wishful thinking and false advertisements.
