Abstract Research about sex addiction and its relationships with other constructs remains unexplored. We recruited a gender-balanced sample (53 men, 51 women) who responded to measures of sex addiction, adverse childhood experience, adult attachment, narcissism, self-compassion, and motivation. Sex addiction was found to be statistically significantly associated with these constructs. Anxious attachment statistically significantly mediated the relationship between adverse childhood experience and sex addiction and the relationship between narcissism and sex addiction. Self-compassion did not statistically significantly moderate the relationship between anxious attachment and sex addiction. Therapeutic approaches targeting attachment and narcissism, such as relation-based or mindfulness-based interventions, are recommended.

Abstract Hypersexual behavior is thought to be associated with many negative outcomes, as well as shame-proneness. Self-compassion may be helpful in targeting the shame, which may attenuate the proposed cycle through which hypersexual behaviors become problematic by introducing alternate ways of relating to one’s self. In this study, 364 online participants completed surveys assessing hypersexual behaviors, shame-proneness, and self-compassion. The results indicated that individuals who had low shame-proneness and low self-compassion tended to have higher hypersexual behavior. These findings suggest that self-judgment, over-identification, and isolation may be important for clinicians and researchers to consider in the development of hypersexual behaviors.

Abstract Objectives: Theories and models that address harmful health behaviors often do not incorporate factors related to alcohol. Methods: The aim of this article is to review the role of alcohol use on risky sexual behavior and to suggest how alcohol-related factors can be incorporated into health behavior change models. Results: Suggestions for modifying health behavior change models are presented, including integrating motivation and volition phases of models with a preconsumption and consumption phase of alcohol use. Conclusions: These modifications may be useful in developing interventions designed to increase the occurrence of safer sex behaviors affected by alcohol and other drugs.

Abstract A comparative case-study method grounded in phenomenology with the use of interpretive phenomenological analysis (IPA) demonstrated similarities and differences between two men’s experiences with engaging in extramarital affairs who were married to women in either a monogamous or a non-monogamous union. Despite the difference in their marital arrangements, both men were unfaithful to their wives and demonstrated similar themes in their lives, which included religious obligations, communication conflicts, loss of connection in marriage, deception, sexual restriction, absent fathers, compartmentalization of sexual behavior, guilt, and addiction. Differences included how men created boundaries, emotional connections with affair partners, power differentials, and sexual experiences.

Abstract Individuals who commit sexual offenses and also meet criteria for psychopathy are among the most concerning groups of forensic clients. This exploratory study included 109 adult males and examined the following questions: (1) Do sexual offenders with higher scores on the Hare Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R) demonstrate similar patterns of attachment, or do they present with a variety of attachment patterns? (2) What is the relationship between a history of child abuse and attachment styles? (3) What are the relationships between specific child abuse experiences and the facets of the PCL-R? and (4) What are the relationships between different attachment patterns and the facets of the PCL-R? Findings indicate that men who experienced childhood abuse of any kind were more likely to demonstrate a fearful or preoccupied attachment style. Those who were securely attached were less likely to engage in antisocial behavior, and those who were more anxiously attached were less arrogant and deceptive in interpersonal relationships. Implications for practice, policy, and research are discussed.

Abstract This editorial presents some recent developments in the field of sexual health, including the acceptance of compulsive sexual behavior disorder as a diagnosis within the International Classification of Diseases, 11th Edition (ICD-11). Extensive quotes are presented to let the words speak for themselves. The journal Sexual Addiction & Compulsivity is affected by the changes in the professional treatment of problematic sexual behaviors. Ultimately, resolution of disagreements and conflicts represents awareness of the potential for bias as an increasingly diverse group applies their maps. The account concludes with an emphasis on optimal sexual health.

Abstract The word “solosexual” has recently entered the vocabulary to refer to a person who states and demonstrates a preference to engage in masturbation as a sole or primary means of sexual expression. This article introduces the core behavioral and ideological characteristics of solosexuality and then applies a concise set of sexual health principles to assess potential benefits and risks of what some people consider to be not just a set of associated sexual practices but an emerging sexual identity.

Abstract This is the first study in Russia to explore Compulsive Sexual Behavior in HIV-infected men. The aims of the present study were to estimate the frequency of Compulsive Sexual Behavior in HIV-infected men in community-based sample in Saint-Petersburg, Russia. The study sample consisted of 119 HIV-infected men. Compulsive Sexual Behavior was found in 18 men who have sex with men and 7 men who have sex with women (29.5% and 12.1%). Our results suggest that Compulsive Sexual Behavior could be a significant risk factor for HIV-infection.

Abstract Mindfulness, more specifically acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) may be the most optimal form of therapy to be used in treating problematic pornography use—use that may qualify as addiction, which falls within the realm of sex addiction. ACT would be beneficial to apply in a clinical setting for 1-on-1 therapy, coaching and sexuality workshops using the ACT model. Though some ambiguity exists on whether pornography addiction falls within the realm of sex addiction, there is sufficient theoretical framework to apply addiction identifiers to problematic pornography use, which further has implications to the benefits of using ACT in treating perceived problematic or addictive pornography use.

Abstract The association between positive and negative affect and sexual behavior in 39 MSM with and without hypersexuality (HS) was explored using ecological momentary assessment. Participants reported their current positive and negative affect three times per day and their sexual behavior each morning and evening. The relationship between affect and sexual behavior differed between men with or without HS. In those with HS, the timing of and interactions between experienced affect differentially predicted types of sexual behavior, indicating differing mechanisms driving partnered sexual behavior and masturbation. These findings lend support to conceptualizing HS behavior as a coping strategy for affective arousal.
