Understanding Human Sexual Disorders: Sex Addiction & Transvestic Fetishism

1. Sex addiction. This is a mental disorder in which a person feels compelled to engage in sexual behavior in order to relieve physical or emotional distress. Sex addiction can lead to problems in relationships, at work, and with the law.

2. Transvestic fetishism. This is a paraphilia in which a person experiences sexual arousal from dressing in clothing that is typically associated with the opposite sex. Transvestic fetishism is not necessarily associated with gender dysphoria or a desire to change gender.
