Topic: Tag Alias: slut -> nymphomaniac

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

Nymphomania: Uncontrollable or excessive sexual desire in a woman. Compare with satyriasis.

Satyriasis: Uncontrollable or excessive sexual desire in a man. Compare with nymphomania.

-1. I would argue that nymphomania isn't really any less derogatory since it stems from women being promiscuous as being something that's "wrong". They now classify under "sexual disorder" or "hypersexuality" in the DSM-5 (and probably the ICD-10-CM, but I'm less familiar with the ICD) and avoid the terms entirely.

Though I'd prefer to get rid of slut tbh. There a lot of posts that wouldn't make sense to be tagged as either, and I don't think people would stop tagging "slut" unless it was invalidated and hand-replaced with a different term.

There are some posts that it works for:

But for these it seems to be tagged for no particular reason:

post #542851 post #515880 (arguably)

While posts like this would be better tagged with something like "cheating" (or whatever the correct tag is):

post #250584

And this would go better under prostitute:

It definitely needs some cleaning up before it's aliased to anything at the very least.

I didn't know that nymphomania is gender related term. If that's the case then of course my suggestion is wrong.
I don't mind getting rid of slut tag.

Plus one for invalidating both. I've never liked the slut and slutty tags, it's too subjective and those get tagged for all kinds of images. In many cases, tagging seductive and skimpy would be more accurate.
