ObjectivesProblematic sexual behavior (PSB) is defined by recurrent sexual behaviors that are difficult to control, causing social and functional impairments. PSB can co-occur with reward deficiency syndrome (RDS), but this relationship remains unclear. RDS has been associated with the 10/10 genotype of 3 variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) in the dopamine transporter gene SLC6A3, which is implicated in the reward pathway. This study investigates the genetic relationship between PSB and RDS, te...
