ICD-11 Criteria for Compulsive Sexual Behaviour Disorder (6C72)
Compulsive sexual behaviour
disorder is characterised by a persistent pattern of failure to control
intense, repetitive sexual impulses or urges resulting in repetitive sexual
behaviour. Symptoms may include repetitive sexual activities becoming a central
focus of the person’s life to the point of neglecting health and personal care
or other interests, activities and responsibilities; numerous unsuccessful
efforts to significantly reduce repetitive sexual behaviour; and continued
repetitive sexual behaviour despite adverse consequences or deriving little or
no satisfaction from it. The pattern of failure to control intense, sexual
impulses or urges and resulting repetitive sexual behaviour is manifested over
an extended period of time (e.g., 6 months or more), and causes marked distress
or significant impairment in personal, family, social, educational,
occupational, or other important areas of functioning. Distress that is
entirely related to moral judgments and disapproval about sexual impulses,
urges, or behaviours is not sufficient to meet this requirement.
