A member asked:

Does ocd cause you to masturbate?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not really: You're looking at OCD a bit backwards. The behaviors are symptoms of the disorder, not caused by the disorder. For you one of your compulsive behaviors may be self-stimulation, a nice way to say masturbation. It could just as easily be washing hands 100 times a day, or changing your shoes every 5 minutes. since this is an anxiety disorder, sexual symptoms /behaviors may indicate problems there
