Inner Voice / Nymphomania

[sexyhornymom]

Recently I read an true life article in a magazine I think had story potential but what do people here think?

A woman in her late 20s suffered a head trauma which left her with a brain injury resulting in a loss of her inhibitions and an increased sex drive. Despite being happily married with a small child, she found herself seeking sexual attention from any and all men regardless of whether she was with her family, whether she knew the men, how old they were and so on. Her husband eventually caught her half naked with a builder in their living room. He felt angry and betrayed at first but doctors explained this was a result of her head trauma.

They were booked onto counselling sessions both together and seperately. Together to help them in their marriage, her to help her through her sexual cravings and him to support him in caring for his wife. Unfortunately she had several lapses and at one point kept three lovers secret from her husband.

The story I'm suggesting is told from her inner voice as a first person perspective. The inner voice is herself from before the injury but it can't get through to or control her actions. All it can do is tell the story. For example its telling of its shock, disbelief and disgust at her sexual actions after her injury but cannot do anything about it.

Is this an idea someone wants to write? Or is it in bad taste and trivializing someone's suffering?

hmm...while not something I'd attempt to write, it would prove interesting to read, I think.

I've already written such a story but you have to be able to read Dutch, as with all my stories.

Anyway, I've written a 5-piece story about a woman who became sexually insatiable after a car crash, each chapter describing another aspect of her sexual escapades, becoming more kinky every day but which involved her husband too and eventually ended with her suicide.

I doubt I could write it, not my thing. But it is a novel idea. I like it!

I like this idea.
The inner narrator is a device used by countless TV shows and movies (usually in a mirror), but I think it would be interesting to give the woman a second persona as well as sexual appetite.

I've been recently studying this phenomenon (on the Web).
It's due to misaligned or malformed neurotransmitters in the brain, creating an imbalance in its chemicals, such as an increase in serotonin (good feelings towards others, feeling of euphoria, loss of sex drive, emotionally non expressive at times, desires voyeurism, exhibitionism, Freudianism, fetishism, pedophilia type fantasies), dopamine, and other chemicals (common in Parkinson's patients).
A drug such as MDMA (Ecstasy) can release these chemicals to toxic levels, resulting in a mental burnout (part of bipolar syndrome or manic depressive).

Because sex drive is lost, sexual fantasies may be intensified, having a desire to fulfill the woman's sexual needs, resulting in a temporary high until she crashes, and then the cycle begins again.

Nymphomania is associated with sexual addiction as described above, but this is only part of it (romantic fantasies increased), both love and affection may be determined by altered neurotransmitters.

Don Juanism (Froid's specialty) is the same for men (must fulfill need for being loved).

Incidentally "Girls Gone Wild" uses similar techniques of subliminal suggestion and aphrodisiacs, but this is not illegal like Party Pills.
They found the legal pills carry illegal drugs (now banned).

I think it's in appalling taste but it would make a great story anyway.

This looks like a good story idea, if you can make it more of a fictional tale, exaggerating what really happened.

By the way, although it looks like loss of inhibitions (unaware of the immorality that is being done), they know exactly what they are doing, but can't help themselves.
The article (and other stories of this nature) says sex drive is increased, which is also untrue to a point.
Sex drive is decreased when this occurs.
When the subject realizes her sexual needs must be satisfied, immediate gratification is sought out, which heightens the sexual experience so much, one would think her sex drive is increased.

This also occurs in men when severe injury takes place (can get in legal trouble), but it's more common in married woman and girls in puberty (also prepubesent boys).

erhm...is that why I'm always being hit on by underage girls? *sighs* what is it with young women and ridiculously older men?
