摘要

Compulsive sexual behaviour (CSB) describes out-of-control problematic sexual behaviour. Recently compulsive sexual behaviour disorder was recognised as an impulse control disorder by the WHO. Patient evaluation, including diagnosis of co-occurring disorders, is essential to inform selection of psychological and pharmacological treatment options for CSB. First-line therapy for CSB is psychotherapy, while pharmacological treatments may be used to support psychotherapy. Studies of compulsive sexual behavior disorder (CSBD) therapies are limited by population size and diversity. Study of larger and diverse populations with CSB is needed. Future research will aid selection of treatment options.
