I always wonder why so many people describe love, desire and obscene, while advocating killing & slaughter. I have no problem with any level of lust and desire, as long as it is a mutual experience. Love and desire, in many ways, are the essence of our human existence. great write. Franz

Wow!
This is outstanding. Sensual, sexual and passionate (though the dictionary definion is stupid, as usual. Would be different if it were a man concerned, for sure)
Fantastic verses. Brava to you!

"Nymphomaniac" is a romantic psycho-physical depicting of an insatiable libidinal female-person.

This poem, "Nymphomaniac" is a masterpiece.

I have enjoyed the reading of "Nymphomaniac".

Very strong, very sensual...and very bittersweet...you are so correct, there are so many jokes about this problem, which can be a serious and dangerous malady. Splendid job, Rose.

Powerful but well thought out the meaning here. Amazed that society accepts somethings but others they can't or want understand. Probably we are all like this in some degree as wanting to passion as you write here and the touches from wanton hands release their desires upon us.
Very well done Rose

provocative title

Strong, evocative writing.

The quoted definition Speaks volumes about society's attitude to sexuality in general and female sexuality in particular.

A good write!

"Excessive sexual desire in and behavior by a FEMALE".

NOte the last word above, it says female, as for most the male is the culprit for sex constantly, LOL! My other half tells me when she was married, she hated to do the "nasty" so to speak, she said if she ever got out of that marriage she would never be interested again, but now we see each other every now and then and she goes absolutely nuts, me I can take it or leave it...LOL! Who knew?! OH well, as always women are pigs, hehehehe! Now we know it is not the male of the species that initiates all the sex...thanks Rose for pointing this out...Peace or in this case, Piece, Ed & Rufuz
