Just because she had an affair with a student does not mean she was a nymphomaniac.
All her life she was pursued by men because of her beauty and she detested their pursuits, and she was trapped in an unhappy marriage to a man she thought would be faithful to her and love her for her intelligence but who promptly cheated on her shortly after their marriage.
So in revenge against all the adult men who only lusted after her and her husband who cheated on her, she began affairs with her students in order to have control of the relationships which would enable her to teach the boys to love her (and other women) the way she (and other women) wanted to be loved.
Without this key plot element, there would be no film.
