Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anti-androgen medications, such as cyproterone acetate and medroxyprogesterone acetate, work by decreasing the production and function of androgens (male hormones) in the body. This can lead to decreased sexual appetite and make it less likely for a person to achieve and maintain erections. This can aid in the treatment of sexual disorders, including paraphilic behaviors, by reducing the frequency and intensity of sexual urges and fantasies. However, these medications do not eliminate paraphilic urges or alter parts of the brain where paraphilic attractions are learned. It also does not permanently castrate an individual, but rather is reversible when the medication is no longer taken.
