She had never told anybody about it. When her therapist explained that her sexual tension seemed to be a characteristic of her obsessive-compulsive disorder, Lydia appeared relieved. With medication targeting the anxiety component and psychotherapy, Lydia’s condition improved slowly. However, one of the psychiatrists considered Lydia’s masturbation compulsion to be characteristic of a hypomanic state and prescribed a trial with lithium. The change in medical treatment did not work for Lydia.

A placebo-controlled study found that 60% of women and men treated with the antidepressant buproprion (Wellbutrin) showed improvement in sexual desire and response deficits compared to 10% in the placebo group (Crenshaw, Goldberg, & Stern 1987). Also, the over-the-counter steroid hormone DHEA, which is naturally produced by the adrenal glands, may have beneficial effects. At around age 30, the adrenal glands produce less DHEA, which might indicate that the supplement could have a positive effect.

Eighty-three percent of the women were Caucasian, 11% African American, 5% Hispanic, and 1% Asian.

For masturbation activities, increases over placebo were equal for the two different treatment groups (150 µg versus 300 µg), indicating that the higher dose did not have a stronger effect on frequency of masturbation than the lower dose.
