Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder is characterized by a persistent pattern of failure to control intense, repetitive sexual impulses or urges. These behaviors often become a central focus of a person’s life, sometimes at the expense of their health, job, or personal relationships. Individuals with CSBD may continue these patterns even when they no longer derive pleasure from them or when the consequences become severe. It is recognized as a formal mental health condition that requires specialized therapeutic intervention to manage. Recovery focuses on regaining control and developing healthier ways to cope with emotional distress.
