There seems to be some evidence that SSRIs can help in some sexual addictions / obsessions with some people. An SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) is normally prescribed for depressive disorders, anxiety, OCD and a few other disorders. Sometimes these are also present in individuals with issues with sexual compulsivity, addiction etc.

There has been a few studies done which show some success in treating paraphilias, sexual compulsivity, and : here's a few references:

I have added a link to a later post for more balance and to address concerns some SSRIs may not lower sexual drive, but have the opposite effect.
I don't intend in posting these articles to suggest a legal equivalence between casual inappropriate content viewing and sexual behaviours which result in harm to others, or violate privacy of others. Or to suggest that any legal aspects are abrogated by examining evidence for the effectiveness of using medications in some cases.
What do others think?
