Hyper Sexuality or just a cop out?

so I was watching this show on the Science Channel (I know, I'm a nerd) which explored different ways the "breaking system" in the brain can affect impulses and desires; if tampered with or injured in any way, the breaking system for certain things can become defunct, leaving you desiring something constantly, to the detriment of your way of doing things before the injury.
there was this one lady on the show who suffered a brain hemorrhage and when she regained her health, was diagnosed with hyper sexuality. a married woman who was once stoutly devoted to her husband, the lady featured developed such a high libido, she would literally have sex with any guy she meets, and had affairs almost every time she went out of the house. her husband, a paranoid wreck it seems, would follow her each time she stayed out of the house for longer than expected to ensure that she was not cheating. the lady said that she couldn't help herself, and that she desired sex all day long. she said she completely enjoys the encounters she has, but afterward feels guilt.
my questions- does anyone else think that this might just be a crock of...well you know, or do you think she's honest? what would you do if your DW or SO had this problem?
my answers- i think that she may have a valid argument as to why she has affairs so frequently, but the fact that she feels guilt throws me...if its involuntary, why does she feel guilt? if my SO was like that, well, i think i would try to help him seek help, but i'm kinda selfish, and wouldn't be able to handle that for long.

you're totally right- i hate ADD/ADHD- i think its made up, to tell the truth, just like i think this "disorder" has been. hmmph- i wish a dr would tell me that Baby Fantasy has ADD/ADHD- i'd tell them to shove it...children aren't meant to sit for hours on end anyway- geez what happened to playing nowadays?
i agree- sometimes i wish i was born in the Victorian era- i'd love to be in the court of Versailles with a big ole' poofy dress and white wig! hmm, either that era or the 60's...free love...mmm. LOL
I know exactly what you mean. It seems like we have invented a disorder for everything. Now don't get my wrong there are legitimate disorders out there that require treatment, but why doctors put every kid who's energetic on ritalin baffles me. They don't need to be taking that crap. All the drugs we shove down our kids throats and the aversion to germs is the reason our kids have more life threatning allergies and illnesses nowadays. We all played in the dirt and didn't wash our hands and somehow we turned out ok lol
I'm not sure how well I'd do in victorian times lol..the corsets I could do, the prim and proper, not so much lol. I more see me riding a horse and weilding a sword lol

Our psychological reality, which lies below the surface, frightens us because it endlessly surprises us and drives us in a direction which society's rules and organizations define as wrong or dangerous
