Generally speaking, nymphomania develops in a person who naturally is born with very intense sexuality. If this person does not develop a pattern of evaluating emotions before acting on them, then inappropriate sexual behavior can develop. Your best choice would be to see a psychiatrist.
This term that you used is not a clinical term or diagnosis. Even though you didn't provide the detail of your illness or symptoms, from what I gather from this limited information, it is my opinion that you should see a psychiatrist to get a proper diagnosis and treatment.
We all have to confront our fears if we choose to grow emotionally so we can have healthy relationships. Please seek medical help. Any physician can get to the root of the problem; you may have a medical issue that causes high sex drive; on the other hand there are many medications that can be prescribed meanwhile to decrease sex drive including SSRIs like Zoloft, Prozac, others.
