Abstract in brief

  • This study investigated the effects of testosterone suppression using degarelix on sexual desire, hypersexuality, and interest in children in men with pedophilic disorder, finding a significant reduction in sexual desire over ten weeks.
  • Participants treated with degarelix showed a marked decrease in sexual desire scores and a higher proportion reported no longer having interest in children after ten weeks compared to the placebo group.
  • The results suggest that testosterone suppression effectively reduces hypersexuality and sexual interest in children among men with pedophilic disorder, regardless of traits like autism, antisocial tendencies, or impulsiveness.]

And to those suggesting paraphiles “get help”, I recommend you watch this video by my friend @GreyRondomi (There’s a version without the background gameplay on their channel). Generally, I recommend their videos for educating yourself on paraphiles. https://t.co/4trbLsWJa4

@for_spiral_sun @taxidermyfuckr @zoxtrox2 @Gokus_pubes Not talking about drugs here. Therapy has been shown to be enough. But if you want to talk medicine. After 10 weeks on degarelix, 58% of participants reported no more sexual interest in children. https://t.co/iSNciiz054
