What is sphallolalia?

Sphallolalia is a condition characterized by the compulsive use of double entendres or sexual puns in everyday conversation. Individuals with sphallolalia may feel unable to control their urge to make sexual comments, often at inappropriate times or in mixed company. This condition is often associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) or Tourette's syndrome and can be a source of embarrassment or frustration for those affected. Sphallolalia can also be a symptom of underlying psychological or neurological issues that require treatment. Therapy, medication, or lifestyle changes can help manage the symptoms of sphallolalia and improve overall quality of life.
