a man who has strong (too much) sexual desires;
a person who suffers from a medical or psychological health condition called satyriasis which means having too much sexual desire that cannot be controlled,
a modern day satyr, man with too much desire
In the Greek mythology, a satyr was a creature, half-human and half-goat, who went about drinking, singing and finding women, usually the nymphs.
In the modern day scenario, a man who goes about trying to find women to satisfy his sexual desires or tries to force women he meets to satisfy his sexual needs is called a satyr, though he’s a complete man with normal upper and lower body.
In politics martyrs, people who proudly die for some cause or for the good of the society, may become satyrs, people who have uncontrollable sexual desires, depending on from which side the wind blows.
