This is entirely possible and has been seen. There is a comorbid gene for Kluver-Bucy on one of the X chromosomes. The symptoms are more common in men and feature hyperorality, hypersexuality/satyriasis, and so on. The only thing that varies somewhat is visual agnosia ...sometimes present and sometimes not depending on one of the base pairs. All part of being a male with only one X to code for some important traits...in women, having a duplicate is a safeguard. ...more on that in basic biology.

Speaking personally, I'm going to admit it. I qualify for about 4 out of 6 there but don't have any diagnosis based on the visual agnosia trait or the amnesia trait. I'm considered a docile person by most people I work with, a hypersexual at home who can wear a sex addict out (usually requiring open and bisexual (but mostly gay) relationship...I have some sexuality identity issues). and have been eating non-food since a child. ...I'm grateful not to have that issue anymore. (you can get severe stomache ulcers that way). Hypersexuality can vary person to person. Someone might have a persistent sexual stimulation need (constant tugging away and whipped out/naked in home, might need to masturbate aside from sex up to 12x a day but more often 2-3x and so on....often to the point of losing color in their ejaculations and so on. If it's that bad, they are hypersexual as opposed to normal piggish male.

Even now, I'm tempted to solicit all the other hypersexuals for a hookup in my area (but am also extremely self conscious about what horrible thing could happen as a result) but have been on good behavior a couple years now! (currently a monogamous, safe-open-ish relationship)
