People living with OCD are driven by constant urges to repeatedly act on their obsessions and\/or compulsions. An estimated <a href=\"https:\/\/adaa.org\/understanding-anxiety\/obsessive-compulsive-disorder-ocd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2.5 out of every 100 adults<\/a> in the United States lives with OCD.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Common obsessions include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Excessive fear of germs or contamination<\/li>\n<li>Feelings of sex being taboo or shameful<\/li>\n<li>Aggressive thoughts towards others or toward oneself<\/li>\n<li>Insisting on things being symmetrical or in a perfect order<\/li>\n<li>Even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verywellmind.com\/ocd-and-sexual-intimacy-2510552\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">feelings of disgust<\/a> when thinking about having sexual intercourse<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Common compulsions include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Excessive cleaning and\/or handwashing<\/li>\n<li>Ordering and arranging things in a particular, precise way<\/li>\n<li>Repeatedly checking on things, such as repeatedly checking to see if the door is locked or that the oven is off<\/li>\n<li>Compulsive counting<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is not difficult to see the issues the aforementioned obsessions and compulsions may have on a person\u2019s sex life.<\/p>\n<h3>OCD and Sexual Dysfunction: What Do You Need to Know?<\/h3>\n<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"fr-fil fr-dib aligncenter\" style=\"width: 600px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mediashower.com\/img\/EEFF27D2-8425-11E9-B07C-C02EC610FB58\/bigstock-Happy-Couple-In-Love-Enjoying--251219548_1200x.jpg\" alt=\"Couple sitting outside hugging.\" width=\"600\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/282320189_Sexual_dysfunction_in_Obsessive-Compulsive_disorder\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tehran-based study<\/a> of married couples diagnosed with OCD, researchers found that a significant number also experienced depression, which could affect sexual desire in their relationships.
