Question:

Is there a connection between paraphilia sexual behaviours and OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder)?

Answer:

For some clients with paraphilia, therapists find a compulsion or obsessive behaviour related to the sexual problem.

The relevance of this connection could be to consider a pharacotherapy with SSRI (selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor). More
