Page "Sexual desire" Paragraph 23

On the opposite end of the Sexual Desire Disorder spectrum is Hypersexual disorder.

According to the proposed revision to the DSM which will include Hypersexual Disorder in the appendix of future publications, Hypersexual Disorder is defined as “ recurrent and intense sexual fantasies, sexual urges, and sexual behavior ” where the individual is consumed with excessive sexual desire and repeatedly engages in sexual behaviour in response to “ dysphoric mood states and stressful life events ”.

Hypersexual Disorder is currently associated with sexual addiction and sexual compulsivity.
