    Apples and oranges
    Carl Robbins · 09/23/03 at 5:31 ET

    Ego-dystonic, negatively reinforced, unwanted, anxiety-producing sexual obsessions (i.e., ocd) would be treated quite differently from ego-syntonic, positively reinforced, pleasurable sexual fantasies.

    For example, exposure would be a central component of treatment for OCD while abstinence might be recommended for sexual addiction.

    What are the client's goals?
