What is the opposite word of nymphomaniac?

There is no direct opposite of "nymphomaniac" in a strictly linguistic sense. This is because the word is considered derogatory and outdated, with a history of being used to pathologize women's sexuality.

However, if we try to understand the implied meaning of "nymphomaniac" as someone with an excessive or uncontrollable sexual desire, we could consider some potential "opposites" in the sense of describing a different attitude towards sexuality:

* Asexual: Someone who experiences no sexual attraction.

* Abstinent: Someone who chooses to refrain from sexual activity.

* Celibate: Someone who refrains from sexual activity for religious or personal reasons.

* Content: Someone who is satisfied with their current level of sexual activity, whatever that may be.

It's important to remember that these terms are not necessarily opposites in a strict sense, but they represent different approaches to sexuality.

It's also crucial to avoid using any of these terms in a way that is disrespectful or stigmatizing. Sexual desire is a complex and personal matter, and everyone has the right to express it (or not) in a way that feels comfortable and safe for them.
