That doesn't make you a nymphomaniac:

From other females that I've know that came from an all girls school they seem to lack a lot of experience in interacting with the opposite sex. As a result they have unusual approaches towards males. But all of my friends seemed to go back to "normal" (common female at that age) in about one year.

I recommend you to stay away from your teacher so you can prevent problems for both of you.

I attended an all-girls Catholic school for ten years of my life (primary and secondary school education), and am currently in a co-ed junior college (all junior colleges are co-ed in Singapore). Like you, I initially found it difficult to adjust to the fact that there were boys in school, and I had crushes all over the place. I'm in my second year at junior college now, and I must say most of them have flared and died away. They were just silly crushes that didn't mean anything. >.<

It's all right to be infatuated with certain people. I'm sure you'll get used to it after awhile. But I must advise you against acting on these impulses, because, as you yourself have pointed out, these are mere infatuations. It is not "love" or any other lofty aspiration you think it is. But I will encourage you to go ahead and make friends with everyone, whether or not you're infatuated with them (LOL). Building good relationships with people of both sexes is very important. I don't know, but in a co-ed environment, just making friends with only boys or only girls is a bit unhealthy, I think. And as a girl, I don't think there's anything wrong with being "just friends" with guys, because some girls are either too shy or too self-conscious to make guy friends. They're usually an unassuming bunch who are great to hang out with.

As for you being infatuated with your teacher, I don't think that makes you a nymphomaniac. That's exaggerating it a bit, isn't it? If you feel that the feelings you harbour for him aren't good, maybe you should try to consciously distance yourself from him. It is normal to have a crush on a teacher, but acting on it isn't always a good choice. Be responsible for yourself. ^^

Short answer: No.

Nymphomania is an unhealthy dependence on sex. Typically, you don't find closet nymphos--they're quite open about it; easy in our culture. If you were a nymphomaniac, you'd have already tried to bed your teacher.

Long answer: Don't worry about it. A lot of people develop crushes on people in positions of power, especially over them, especially if they admire what they do. I'm at University right now, and I've had little crushes on several of my teachers, simply because they're smart and caring. Teachers are impressive, incredible people (and don't let anyone tell you differently). Feelings of admiration may manifest themselves in the form of a crush, or you may just genuinely be infatuated with him. In any case, don't worry. It's not unhealthy at all, so long as you don't go acting on it and getting yourself in trouble.

But no, you're not a nymphomaniac. Just human ^_^'

Unless you are constantly having unhealthily obsessive sexual fantasies you are normal. The correct term is hypersexuality.

Yours' is more of a case of having one crush too many. Your interest in guys is probably due to the lack of frequent contact with the opposite sex. As such, it is a new experience for you and one which you find fascinating and exciting.

And I was really hoping to read some nasty smut in this thread. Well, you can't blame me for having something between my legs.

Just to add to Dias' reply, other than having totally no controll over sexual drives, nympho's are also incapable of love. This is pretty much due to the fact that everything relational is immeidately identified to sex. You just have a crush, thats all. And by process of elimination: you say you love your prof, nympho's can't love; ergo, you aren't a nympho.

You are not a Nymphomaniac !
I think that it's quite normal to be intersetd by the other gender when you have been set apart from it for a quite long period...
In addition, I think that at your age, it's quite normal to feel love for teachers... but you can be sure that it is just admiration and not love actually... but you are not even thinking about only having sex with him or something like that.
You are certainly just admiring him for the way he is and how he behaves. It does not mean that you are in love or a nyphomaniac. You ca call that a crush (since you say that you are "falling in love all over the place"). Love is something that is not that temporary I think, that's a crush... and I'm sure you'll have many of them... do don't worry, you're perfectly normal ^_^

nympho's are also incapable of love.

Completely untrue, and a little offensive. Sex and love may become so intertwined that distinguishing between them is near-impossible, but that statement is still utterly untrue. The only psychological disfunction I've EVER heard of which can even halfway produce that effect is sociopathy, and that's debatable.

...You're still not a nymphomaniac though. Like I said, you'd have already tried to bed your professor if you had.

Depends also on the definition of love. I'm defining it from a theological standpoint, in which both mind and body are to be considered before even talking about love. Since the nympho is, so to speak, stunted in sexual maturity due to her condition, her distinction between sex and affection will never be clear. No offense intended though, and I apologize if any taken.

Nymphomania is an addiction to sex, your just getting used to new male company. It's normal if you haven't mixxed often with guys/girls to easily fall for them. Just don't rush into anything ;)

No.

This is probably just a crush, it'll be over before you know it and you'll find someone you truly love.
Just don't rush things when it comes to love, but I don't think getting a crush on your teacher is the best thing to do. But when your perfect person comes, you know eventually(unless you become enemies at first and fight over everything like some couples that started out! ^^;).

Anyways, I'm getting off topic, good luck with your love life! ^^ Remember, don't just go for anyone or for a guy who's good-looking, go for someone who is kind and easy to talk to.

None taken to me; I just mean to say that it was a dehumanizing thing to say, you know?

You're talking about nymphomaniacs as a very childish group as a whole; that is, you believe that their condition stunts their ability to mature, and learn distinctions between love and sex, which is true; and yet, many nymphomaniacs are just that, starved for love, and unable to separate love from sex, and as such, are just as capable of love as the rest of us; only on a different level. Love is, after all, (as the old saw goes) what you make of it.

Nah, you`re just horny, it`ll wear of eventually.

Wow interesting thread

Date girls

ooops, bad Ecchi bad!

Sorry, first of all why would you like your 40 year old teacher, I mean he be like the age of your father or uncle. You should like people your own age or maybe a year older.

I used to like a girl that was three years younger, and that was weird to me. However, when she got a boyfriend I didn't fill much pain; I felt much much much more pain when I had to move to another state. Then I found out a month later that she broke up with him, because he wanted sex and she wouldn't. Now, the girl was a freshman in high school, so it was like been exposed to a whole new type of guys and her x boyfriend was a junior. So, if you let them pick you up, they will, but then you will have to suffer the consequences.
