When describing my sex drive, my Argentinian girfriend said I was a "sexopata", what exactly does that mean? Is it good?....Is it bad? Does it mean a good lover or does it mean sex addict?

The word should be "sexópata", and it is a mix of the Latin root "sexus" ("sexo" in Spanish) the Greek ending "pathos" ("-pata" in Spanish or -path(ic) in English), meaning "suffering", "emotion".

Sex addict might be close. Think of words like psicópata or other English words (....paths like sociopath/mental disorders). Googling I saw it in the context of "you only have one thing on your mind".

You're not alone, though, I guess...
