-
An irresistible desire, in man, to have frequent connexion with females, accompanied by the power of doing so without exhaustion. The causes are commonly obscure. Sometimes, the abuse of aphrodisiacs has occasioned it. The principal symptoms are: - almost constant erection; irresistible and almost insatiable desire for venery; frequent nocturnal pollutions. Cold lotions; the cold bath: a mild diet; active exercise, &c., are the only means that can be adopted for its removal.
