This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 21-year-old male. My problem is, I am suffering from OCD of sex for the past five years. I am having sexual thoughts all the time and I make stories of doing sex with my teachers, sister, aunts, and girlish appearance boys. I all the time wants to discharge myself. I masturbates sometime four times a day. I have been doing intercourse with a guy for three years. Now I make stories for him in my mind all the time. I am also now having issues as I discharge within one minute and after five minutes again I want sex or do masturbation. Please help me. I am physically very weak with nightfall problems and sperms getting out all the time.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I completely understand that you feel disturbed due to sexual thoughts and compulsive sexual acts.

The Probable causes

Generally, the underline cause for OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder) is guilt which develops from early negative experiences.

Investigations to be done

Your psychological assessment is crucial to diagnose your condition and underline factors responsible for your disorder.

Probable diagnosis

Obsessive-compulsive disorder, Moderate, Fair insight. (only for professionals).

Treatment plan

Research has shown that Cognitive behavior therapy is very effective treatment for OCD with techniques of exposure and response prevention, thought stopping, cognitive restructuring and/or systematic desensitization. To learn and implement these techniques effectively, you need to visit a psychologist clinic or start online therapy from a trained professional in your culture.

Preventive measures

You may also start online consultation here, however, to avoid language barriers and differences in cultural practices, you better consult a psychologist in your locality. Further, you are recommended to start treatment at your earliest. Delay in treatment often results in worsening of symptoms.
