It is a compulsive behavior that leads a man to emotionally and sexually seduce the ladies, who once conquered are abandoned to start a new romance. While this syndrome can occur in women, it is not as common, and applies especially to the male who considers his occasional lovers as trophies. The name was taken from the play Don Juan Tenorio (José Zorrilla, 1844) in which the main character clearly demonstrates this behavior. It is based on another character also called Don Juan, by Tirso de Molina, later replicated in many other works of universal literature.
