ABSTRACT Cybersex is an important manifestation of sexuality among adolescents and young people. However, there is not enough information about this sexual expression, in particular, in cultures such as Latino culture, which has a traditional perception of human sexuality. This study evaluates online sexual activity among Hispanic adolescent and young people. For this purpose, 2,227 participants from Mexico and Spain (between 15 and 25 years old) completed the Internet Sex Screening Test. Our findings reveal that the most common use of cybersex is recreational, although men and women show risk for cybersex abuse. This is associated with pornography consumption, anal sex, sexual orientation, and gender for adolescent and young people. The more conservative and gendered tradition seems to modulate some aspects of cybersex in both groups, who have revealed some differences in their behaviors. Therefore, cybersex is also an expression of sexuality among Hispanic adolescent and young people and should be considered in sexual health promotion programs and policies.

ABSTRACT Emotion regulation and emotional expression may be important factors which contribute to sexual risk behavior among emerging adults, yet research exploring their relation is limited. Further, the influence of a romantic partner is unclear. The current study aims to a) investigate association between emotional difficulties and sexual risk behavior (e.g., sexual compulsivity and sensation-seeking) and b) explore the influence of a romantic partner on individual sexual risk. Participants were 49 couples (n = 98) participating in a randomized control pilot intervention. Results demonstrated that individual and partner emotional difficulties were associated with sexual risk behavior. Results did not vary by gender.

ABSTRACT Sexual compulsivity is a developmental adaptation to neglect or abuse that leads to cognitive, behavioral, and emotional consequences as well as impairment in capacity for intimacy. Recovery from sexual compulsivity involves integration of various psychotherapy components needed to address underlying trauma, repetition compulsion, developmental roadblocks, compulsive behavioral reenactments, emotion dysregulation, and intimacy disorder. Effective treatment involves trauma work, symptom-specific treatment, and reconstruction of an erotic template or love map that reduces objectification, compulsion, and variance while affording opportunities for corrective emotional experience, skills development, and enhancement of choices for intimacy.

ABSTRACT Building on the legacy of the three previous conferences since 2013, the 2017 International Conference on Behavioral Addictions (ICBA) offered one of the largest selections of original academic research into compulsive sexual behavior and pornography use ever presented. This review gives a flavor of the best papers and the key contributions to our fast-evolving understanding of compulsive sexuality and pornography use. This report is not fully comprehensive as the use of parallel sessions meant that we could not see all relevant papers. The Journal of Behavioral Addictions has published all abstracts in a special edition (volume 6, supplement 1). A single strand of the parallel sessions was wholly dedicated to research into sex and pornography. Taken collectively, the presentations demonstrated the strengths of several national research teams, in particular those from Germany, Poland, Hungary, Israel, and the United States. The plenary given for the sexual strand by Matthias Brand explored the I-PACE model (Interaction of Person-Affect-Cognition-Execution) in specific Internet addictions, including for cybersex addiction. This suggested that the theoretical framework for studying and understanding sexual addictions is becoming more mature and robust.

ABSTRACT This essay includes personal and professional reflections on sexual health and intimacy. The emerging definition of compulsive sexual behavior disorder forms a foundation upon which are built successive contexts of inquiry, including polyamory and non/monogamous relationships, Internet pornography, and ethics for intimate sexual health. Summaries of articles in the current issue are provided.

ABSTRACT The present study aimed to explore whether scores on the Cyber Pornography Use Inventory-9 (CPUI-9) are reflective of actual compulsivity. We examined whether CPUI-9 scores are predicted by failed abstinence attempts and failed abstinence attempts × abstinence effort (conceptualized as actual compulsivity), controlling for moral disapproval. A group of 76 male Internet pornography users received instructions to abstain from Internet pornography for 14 days and to monitor their failed abstinence attempts. Greater Perceived Compulsivity scores (but not Emotional Distress scores) were predicted by abstinence effort, and failed abstinence attempts when abstinence effort was high. Moral disapproval predicted Emotional Distress scores, but not Perceived Compulsivity scores. Implications of the findings are discussed.

ABSTRACT Problematic use of Internet sexually explicit material (SEM) is thought to be a possible precursor of a clinically relevant disorder labeled as hypersexuality, sexual compulsion, sexual impulse control disorder, or sexual addiction. Knowledge about possible risk factors for developing a problematic Internet SEM use is scarce. The present study investigated whether trait sexual motivation and implicit approach tendencies towards sexual material are predictors of problematic SEM use and of the daily time spent watching SEM. Trait sexual motivation describes the general individual motivation to be sexually active in a long-lasting, trait-like perspective and can be measured by the Trait Sexual Motivation Questionnaire. In a behavioral experiment, we used the Approach-Avoidance Task (AAT) for measuring implicit approach tendencies towards sexual material. Symptoms of problematic Internet SEM use were assessed by the short Internet Addiction Test, modified for cybersex. Trait sexual motivation explained more variance of problematic Internet SEM use than implicit approach tendencies measured by the AAT. This was true for men as well as for women. Implicit approach tendencies towards SEM were correlated with trait sexual motivation, which could point to a common biological basis.

ABSTRACT This report describes the journey from the well-established constructs of sexual addiction and compulsivity toward new directions in sexual health and optimal sexuality. Conflicting diagnoses are discussed. The ultimate destination for the field is professional consensus seeking, advocacy for effective treatment, and advancement of sexual health.
