However, if you\u2019re unable to control your sexual impulses and find that your preoccupation with sex interferes with your daily life, you may meet the criteria for compulsive sexual behavior disorder (CSBD). Fortunately, there are resources to help you balance your sexual desires and maintain healthy sexual relationships.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What is Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compulsive sexual behavior is sometimes referred to as hypersexuality. But having a high sex drive and engaging in frequent sexual activity doesn\u2019t automatically categorize someone as having compulsive sexual behavior disorder (CSBD).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In early 2022, the World Health Organization (WHO) revised the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/icd.who.int\/browse11\/l-m\/en#\/http:\/\/id.who.int\/icd\/entity\/1630268048\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">International Classification of Diseases<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (ICD-11)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to include compulsive sexual behavior disorder. The ICD-11 provides clear descriptions of the CSBD, stating it is \u201ccharacterized by a persistent pattern of failure to control intense, repetitive sexual impulses or urges, resulting in repetitive sexual behavior.\u201d Additionally, this repetitive sexual behavior causes distress or impairs your daily life and relationships.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Symptoms and Behaviors<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Common symptoms and behaviors of CSBD include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having recurrent and intense sexual fantasies, urges, and behaviors that feel out of your control for a period of six months or longer<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Repetitive sexual behavior becomes a central focus of your life, to the point where you neglect your health, personal care, interests, or responsibilities<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Making multiple attempts to reduce repetitive sexual behavior without success<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Continuing to engage in repetitive sexual behavior, even when you derive little or no satisfaction from it<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Continuing to engage in repetitive sexual behavior, despite negative consequences, such as relationship, financial, health, or legal issues<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feeling distress from engaging in repetitive sexual behavior<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having difficulty maintaining healthy and stable relationships<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Causes and Risk Factors<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The exact cause of CSBD is unclear. Mental health and sexual behavior are complex processes that depend on a variety of factors. However, researchers have been able to identify a variety of potential causes and risk factors for the disorder.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Potential causes and risk factors include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Imbalanced brain chemistry. An imbalance of neurotransmitters can significantly affect your mood or behavior. For example, <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/accurateclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/The-Addictive-Brain-All-Roads-Lead-to-Dopamine-2012.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dopamine<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has been linked to impulse control disorders, like gambling addiction.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conditions affecting the brain. Traumatic brain injury, brain lesions, and neurological disorders can affect your personality and behavior. These conditions can also affect your impulse control. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.epilepsybehavior.com\/article\/S1525-5050(02)90342-2\/pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has linked frontal lobe injuries and tumors to compulsive sexual behavior. Conditions like dementia can also lead to compulsive sexual behavior.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Emotional dysregulation. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S2050052119301039\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Emotional dysregulation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has been linked to substance use disorder, mood disorders, and CSBD. Engaging in sexual behaviors can sometimes be used as a coping mechanism for being unable to regulate stress and emotion.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">History of abuse and family dysfunction. Surviving abuse and family dysfunction places you at a greater risk for a variety of mental health disorders. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jsm.jsexmed.org\/article\/S1743-6095(19)30734-9\/fulltext\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> suggests that adults who came from abusive or dysfunctional homes are at an increased risk for CSBD. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/articles\/10.3389\/fpsyg.2021.693420\/full\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has also linked childhood trauma with greater risk for engaging in high-risk sexual behaviors during adulthood.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other mental health conditions. Mental health disorders, like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full\/10.1177\/2631831819896171\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, can place you at a greater risk for compulsive sexual behavior. Substance use disorders can also contribute to CSBD.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Sex Addition vs. Mental Health Disorder and Sexual Disorder<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The WHO classifies CSBD under impulse control disorders within ICD-11. This places CSBD under the broader umbrella of mental health disorders. It isn\u2019t classified as a sexual disorder.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some providers use the terms compulsive sexual behavior, hypersexuality, and sex addition interchangeably. However, there\u2019s ongoing debate within the scientific community about whether or not CBSD should be categorized as an addiction. Additional research is needed to support the categorization of compulsive sexual behavior as an addiction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The WHO\u2019s recognition of CSBD within ICD-11 allows providers to use common language to engage in meaningful conversations about compulsive sexual behavior.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>The American Psychological Association<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The American Psychological Association (APA) decided against classifying hypersexuality as a mental health disorder in the most recent revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). Providers can still make a diagnosis for hypersexuality or compulsive sexual behavior using the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full\/10.1111\/add.13366\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DSM-5<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> under a subcategory for another mental health condition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Should I See a Doctor for Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder?<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2.jpeg-33.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-33143\" title=\"Man at the doctor's\" src=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2.jpeg-33.jpg\" alt=\"Man at the doctor's\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2.jpeg-33.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2.jpeg-33-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2.jpeg-33-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speak to your provider sooner rather than later if you\u2019re concerned about compulsive sexual behavior.

This may include a variety of counseling or therapy approaches, medication, or treatment of other underlying conditions. The goal of treatment is to help you better manage your sexual impulses and behaviors so you can engage in healthier sexual activities and relationships.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Therapy<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several types of therapy used to treat CSBD. These include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Psychotherapy. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Psychotherapy encompasses most forms of talk therapy. During these sessions, you work with a provider to identify and manage your triggers for engaging in certain behaviors. There are a variety of methods that are effective for CSBD, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), and acceptance and commitment therapy.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Couples therapy. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During couples therapy or family counseling, you can work through relationship problems, practice effective communication strategies, and work toward relationship goals with an experienced provider.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Sex therapy. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may need the specialized support of a sex therapist to better understand and manage your sexual impulses and behaviors.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Support groups.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Group therapy and self-help support groups can empower you to discuss your treatment and connect with a community of people who understand your condition.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Medication<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medication is typically used to treat underlying or related conditions but not CSBD itself. Your provider can help you to determine if medication is appropriate, based on your symptoms, risk factors, and related conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medications used to treat CSBD include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Anti-androgens. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anti-androgens reduce the effects of sex hormones in men.
