"Hypersexuality is characterized by a debilitating need for frequent genital stimulation which, once achieved, may fail to result in the expected long-term emotional -- or sexual -- satisfaction. This dissatisfaction is what is believed to encourage the heightened frequency of sexual stimulation, as well as additional physiological and neurological symptoms...
The threshold for what constitutes hypersexuality [nymphomania] is subject to debate, and critics question whether a standardized diagnostic threshold even exists. Sex drive varies widely in humans; what one person would regard as a normal sex drive might be deemed to be excessive by some and low by others. The consensus among those who consider this a disorder is that the threshold is met when the behavior causes distress or impaired social functioning." {1}
Basically, just cause you think you have a problem does not necessarily mean you do (or don't, I suppose). If it is something that seriously concerns you then you should seek professional advice. Not many people on Y! will be able to help you, just know that whether you are a "nympho" or not, it does not mean anything is wrong with you. You just might need a little help, trust me, it could be worse.

DiiDii, true nymphomania is extremely rare. More common, sadly, is the woman whose self-esteem is so damaged and at such a low level that she seeks sexual encounters to feel attractive, popular, desirable, etc.
If that's you, get some help.

It's not if you don't have a problem with it. Just remember lube, chafing is not cute.
