How common is sexual OCD in those who have been sexually abused/assaulted?

Just curious to know if this is a common occurrence?

Probably not very. They are two totally different things. Sexual ocd is quite different than sexual trauma or even addiction.  OCD involves an obsession and compulsion to push the worry that the obsession is about away. Sexual ocd most often is sexual orientation ocd. I'd say you are more talking about trauma and sexual addiction.

Perhaps I'm wrong though. What DO You mean by it.  Fear of being attracted to family members, animals, etc.  I shouldn't have jumped to a conclusion about your meaning.
