Hypersexuality
Term used to describe a level or frequency of sexual desire that is perceived as excessive within a given culture. Though the medical community has not reached a consensus as to whether hypersexuality should be included as a clinical diagnosis, doctors and psychologists have historically diagnosed LGBTQ+ people with hypersexuality (or other related labels) in order to wrongly treat their identities and desires as medical disorders. Should only be used in a historical context or if an individual self-identifies with the term.
