What is the name for the male version of a nymphomaniac?

A nymphomaniac is the word which signifies a woman with uncontrolled sexual desires. What is the best word to describe a man who demonstrates similar characteristics?


Satyriasis (also satyromania) is the corresponding condition to nymphomania in men.

It is derived from the Satyrs who in Greek mythology were drunken hyper-sexual goat-man creatures who were attendant upon Dionysus.

This same condition is often called Don Juanism, too. Named for the classic literary character Don Juan, famous for his conquests with women.
