Hypersexuality (HS) was one of the earliest examples of an impulse control disorder (ICD) or behavior to be associated with treatment for Parkinson's disease (PD), with an estimated prevalence of approximately 3.5%. Here, we report on a systematic review of the published literature of HS in PD with a view to uncovering evidence as to whether it is distinct from other ICDs. In addition, we report on 7 new cases that had broad neuropsychological testing, including a gambling test, which taps into reward and inhibitory mechanisms. The review uncovered a number of case series and cohorts that comment on the prevalence of HS, but very few made systematic comparisons with other ICDs, although younger onset and male sex are usually noted. A few studies have begun to map out a neuropsychological profile for HS, and our own cases show particular deficits in learning from negative outcomes, but, overall, there are insufficient data to draw firm conclusions. Functional imaging has shown patterns of increased content-specific activation in response to sexual material and this might relate to increased dopamine release. We conclude with a brief survey of the neurobiology of sexuality, which suggests possible avenues for further research and treatment of HS.

“…Nonmetallic and metallic objects are used for this purpose, with the metallic ring being the most popular one . Psychiatric ailments or hypersexuality may be associated with these injuries . There are five grades to classify strangulating penile injuries : grade 1—penile edema; grade 2—penile skin injury; grade 3—penile skin injury with sensory loss; grade 4—constriction of corpus cavernosal, division of corpus spongiosum and eventually urethrocutaneous fistula; and grade 5—penile gangrene, necrosis, or complete amputation of distal penis.…”

“…Apart from unusual manifestations of ICDs (Bienfait et al 2010 ; Bonfanti and Gatto 2010 ; Odiyoor et al 2009 ; Pinggera et al 2009 ), pathological gambling, compulsive shopping, binge eating and hypersexuality seem to be equally common in DAA-medicated PD (Fig. 1 ).…”

Impulse control disorders in Parkinson’s disease: seeking a roadmap toward a better understanding

The development of an impulse control disorder (ICD) is now recognized as a potential nonmotor adverse effect of dopamine replacement therapy in Parkinson's disease (PD). Here, recent epidemiological, neurophysiological and genetic advances are summarized to outline potential mechanisms involved. It is safe to say that dopaminergic drugs, particularly dopamine agonists, are able to induce ICDs only in a minority of patients, while the majority are somehow protected from this adverse effect. While it seems clear that men with earlyonset PD are more vulnerable, other predisposing factors, such as various current or pre-PD personality traits, are a matter of debate. In terms of neurophysiological advances, one may find striking analogies to the addiction literature suggesting a causal chain beginning with certain predisposing conditions of striatal dopamine synapses, an ''unnatural'' increase of dopamine stimulation and a characteristic pattern of resulting functional changes in remote networks of appetitive drive and impulse control. Future prospects include potential add-on medications and the possible identification of genetic predispositions at a genome-wide scale. Functional imaging of pharmacogenetic interactions (imaging pharmacogenomics) may be an important tool on that road.
