ABSTRACT It is suspected that rapists, child molesters, and offenders with both child and adult victims (mixed offenders) may have different motivations and offending patterns—that they are heterogeneous. A central difference between these groups of offenders may be their propensity toward sexually impulsive behaviors and compulsive behavior. Analyses were conducted to assess the mean differences between the various offender types across four measures related to sensation seeking and compulsivity as well as several other proxy behavioral measures. Results suggest that there are differences in sexual impulsive and compulsive behavior among the different types of offenders. Treatment implications are discussed.

ABSTRACT A comparison of 74 victims of father-daughter incest (FDI) to 355 controls who were victims of child-sexual abuse (CSA) by an adult male other than their father identified multiple significant differences between the two groups attributable to effects unique to FDI. For example, FDI victims had more problematic scores on the depression scale, and they preferred to have partner sex less frequently than the victims of CSA-AM. Problematic relationships between parents, higher family-tolerated father-daughter nudity, and a new partner in the home all increased the likelihood of FDI. Hypersexual and risky sexual behaviors increased the likelihood of endorsing being sexually addicted.

ABSTRACT This commentary addresses major issues around the diagnosis of addiction with its myriad manifestations, with particular attention to addiction involving Internet use or Internet Addiction (IA). It highlights the inconsistencies and misguided logic used by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) in the DSM-5, particularly in regards to their handling of the phenomenon of addictive behaviors related to Internet use. The APA decision to discard the problem of IA in favor of a fabricated diagnosis based on one of its subtypes, Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD), is adding to the confusion rather than guiding proper assessment and treatment. It is essential that health care providers be more attentive to the needs of patients/clients who have addiction that may involve substances and/or other pathological behaviors, especially related to Internet use.

ABSTRACT Groups of 62 women and 25 men with genital piercings were compared to same-sex controls without genital piercing (2,549 women and 1,427 men, respectively) on measures of sexual orientation, intimacy, conflict, sexual satisfaction, depression, numbers of sexual partners, and numbers of times they engaged in sexual behaviors with female and male partners as adults. As adults, both women and men with genital piercings scored higher on the measures of same-sex orientation, hypersexuality, and risky sexual behavior and had more adult male partners and same-sex partners than controls. Women with genital piercings were more likely than controls to endorse being sexually addicted.

ABSTRACT With the ubiquity of Internet access in American society comes increased access to sexually explicit materials. Although online sexual behavior is not problematic in and of itself, for some it can become compulsive and addictive. One population that may be at heightened risk for cybersex addiction is the collegiate population. We surveyed 339 students and found that 10.3% scored in the clinical range for cybersex addiction. Further, we found significant gender differences among the clinical and non-clinical range groups as males were more likely to score in the clinical range for cybersex addiction.

ABSTRACT This article presents the results of a descriptive survey of sex addiction therapists in their own recovery from sex addiction. The survey was distributed online. A group of 101 self-identified sex addiction therapists in their own recovery participated in the survey. In the survey, four areas of their experience were explored: sharing with others their specialty in sex addiction and their personal recovery, their use of treatment programs, their belief regarding the benefit of their professional work to their personal recovery, and their boundaries regarding sharing their personal recovery with their clients. Implications of the survey findings for sex addiction therapists are discussed.

ABSTRACT The prevalence and rampant growth of sexually compulsive behaviors is recognized as a significant social problem affecting those who struggle with the behaviors, their romantic partners, their families, and other individuals in their social network. The current study investigated the role of attachment, early life stressors (ELS), age, and behavioral religiosity in sexually compulsive behaviors. Results suggested attachment anxiety, ELS, and behavioral religiosity were positively associated with sexually compulsive behaviors while age was negatively associated with sexually compulsive behaviors. Those participants high in sexually compulsive behaviors reported more attachment insecurity and ELS.

ABSTRACT There is no consensus regarding the diagnostic criteria of cybersex addiction. Some approaches postulate similarities to substance dependencies, for which associative learning is a crucial mechanism. In this study, 86 heterosexual males completed a Standard Pavlovian to Instrumental Transfer Task modified with pornographic pictures to investigate associative learning in cybersex addiction. Additionally, subjective craving due to watching pornographic pictures and tendencies towards cybersex addiction were assessed. Results showed an effect of subjective craving on tendencies towards cybersex addiction, moderated by associative learning. Thus, these findings indicate that such interactions might be crucial for the development of cybersex addiction.

ABSTRACT The increase in Australian Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infections since the 1990s is considered to be due to a subgroup of MSM (men who have sex with men) who engage in behaviors that increase the risk of sexual transmission of HIV. A population of MSM at risk are those who present for PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis). In this article, data from a sample of N = 23 MSM who repeatedly attended an Australian PEP program and sought psychological assistance regarding sexual risk taking are examined. Findings revealed the current sample had more sexual risk behaviors than those of the wider MSM population and had higher Sexual Compulsivity (SC) and Sexual Sensation Seeking (SSSS) scores than previous samples of gay men, along with the finding that SC and SSSS were positively associated with sexual risk taking. Unfortunately, sexual behavior syndromes may be resistant to change, leaving affected MSM at ongoing risk of HIV. If these data can be replicated with larger samples, they point to the value of offering psychological care to affected PEP recipients, and to the role PreP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) may play in providing a safety net against transmission until behavior change occurs.
