“…Neuroleptic medications, because of their effect in reducing sexual arousal, have been used to treat other paraphilias [25]. These include phenothiazines [26] and benperidol [27]. In our case, chlorpromazine and fluphenazine decanoate appear to have been successful in treating the AEA.…”

The syndrome of auto-erotic asphyxia (AEA) involves the deliberate induction of cerebral hypoxia to produce or enhance sexual excitement. This sexual practice is normally only discovered when death results from the act because these individuals rarely seek professional advice. The practice of AEA in the living case presented here was initially misinterpreted as parasuicidal behaviour. This type of sexual behaviour should always be considered a differential for parasuicidal activity involving asphyxia. Aetiology, treatment and the need for health professionals to be aware of this syndrome are discussed.

“…Some studies have focused on drugs that have a central nervous system sedative action similar to the anesthetic action of progesterone (Cooper, 1986;Field, 1973;Merryman et al, 1954). Because of the compulsive nature of sexual fantasizing involved in sex addictions, a few clinicians have tried antiobsessive drugs such as clomipramine and fluoxetine (Jenicke, 1989;Kafka 1991aKafka , 1991bKafka and Coleman, 1991).…”

“…This patient had previously been treated with phenobarbitone and chlorpromazine without any effect. Further favourable reports followed (Deberdt, 1971;Field, 1973). Van Der Kwast (1971) reported a meeting in 1970 at which Belgian and Dutch clinicians described patients with various sexual disorders who had been treated with benperidol.…”

A minority of people with mental retardation have sexual behaviour which is socially unacceptable or which brings them into conflict with the law. Such behaviour may be the result of ignorance about sexual matters, often best managed by counselling or by a behavioural approach. There are a small number of men with mental retardation and aberrant sexual behaviour who benefit from the prescription of an antilibidinal drug. Treatment with an antilibidinal drug alone reduces the intensity of sexual drive but does not alter its direction; concurrent sexual counselling or psychotherapy is often indicated. The various antilibidinal medications available are reviewed, with particular attention to reports which have described the treatment of people with mental retardation. Of the antilibidinals currently used, medroxyprogesterone acetate and cyproterone acetate are those for which there is most evidence of efficacy. Cyproterone acetate is preferable because it has a specific antiandrogenic action and fewer adverse effects. There is a need for controlled studies of antilibidinal drugs, with clearly defined inclusion criteria and adequate measures of both behavioural and attitudinal change.
