Men Can't Be Nymphomaniacs
RECEIVED Sat., Dec. 9, 2006
Dear Editor,
In the Dec. 8 Chronicle, in his review [Film Listings] of National Lampoon's Van Wilder: The Rise of Taj, Marc Savlov referred to a "quartet of brainiac, hooligan, nymphomaniacal gameboys (and one girl)."
A man cannot be a nymphomaniac, as the term refers to a woman with an extreme sex drive. A man in such a condition is a "satyr." I think the term Savlov was looking for was "satyrical," not to be confused with "satirical.”
