Neurocognitive findings in compulsive sexual behavior: A preliminary study Background and aims: Compulsive sexual behavior (CSB) is a common behavior affecting 3–6 % of the population, characterized by repetitive and intrusive sexual urges or behaviors that typically cause negative social and emotional consequences. Methods: For this small pilot study on neurological data, we compared 13 individuals with CSB and gen-der- matched healthy controls on diagnostic assessments and computerized neurocognitive testing. Results: No signifi-cant differences were found between the groups. Conclusions: These data contradict a common hypothesis that CSB is cognitively different from those without psychiatric comorbidities as well as previous research on impulse control dis-orders and alcohol dependence. Further research is needed to better understand and classify CSB based on these findings
