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.

I am most always correct about such things.


I think in this particular instance I could be considered a qualified expert.

There is medical merit to the notion that injury or complication, especially to the brain, can cause dramatic changes in behavior or personality. However, I think that once the issue

my thoughts exactly, chatte. she's having her cake and eating it too! i just know that i would have an issue with it, and although i'd feel bad about leaving, personally i don't think i could deal with someone cheating on me constantly, issue or not. selfish, but hey.

nice to meet you, btw! hope you have a good weekend. :op

I think the husband is an idiot for putting up with it. If you let them continue to get away with the bad habit where is the incentive to change?
