I notice that no one has followed up that I found the collective noun for nymphomaniacs. How disappointing!
As for swingers - I think that's a party isn't it? Oh no, it's a munch! A munch of swingers!

Rural correspondent here.
Sorry I didn't pick up the thread earlier: been mixing concrete and inventing cyle-powered Rabbits.
Sappho was indeed correct: the collective noun for squirrels is 'Dray'.
Dray is also the Shropshire name for a certain type of horse -drawn cart: but that is apropos of bugger all , so I won't dwell.
Squirrels aren't the cutesey little critters we imagine: the 'Grey' does untold damage to woodland . Very rarely see them in bunches: usually only when the'sap rises'(bit like swingers really?). Which makes me wonder, what would be the collective noun for swingers? Any suggestions?
Ferrets are 'a business'; that might suit? What about a 'silkiness' of Swingers-ought to get Sappho's alliterative tastebuds tickled? Answers on a postcard please!!
But a spread of nymphomaniacs would go down. That's one of the things they do. Or so I'm told.
Given the large discrepency between the number that I have met, and the number that I would like to meet, I shall suggest "an insufficiency of nymphomaniacs".
Two from my book....A rage of Maidens.....
and on next page.... an incredulity of cuckolds.....
glad I am not the only one with a dictionary next to my mouse!!!

I am here Sappo - stunned and in awe
What a "strange" spread you (all correspondents) are!
(if indeed at this stage nymphmaniacs we are)
I spotted your open sentence Sappo, but then my little laptop (size doesn't matter - unless you cannot see the hairs in the crack, on screen) wouldn't let me update the web pages. Once I got back in you had given away the answer.
I bury my nuts deep coz I never use them. Thats a lie. my walnuts are like rocks.
Sorry 'bout my spelling mistake Sgt - glad I wazn't court martialled over that.
A collection of computers is 'scrap'
Ps - I had realised and intended my opening message to go into the cafe, I just got it wrong when it mattered. Thanks for grabbing my by the (choose any part of my anatomy) and slipping me into the Cafe.
