Sexual Addiction Sexual compulsivity Sexual impulsivity or what toward a theoretical model
Journal of Sex Research, 2004Co-Authors: John Bancroft, Zoran VukadinovicAbstract:We critically review the concepts of Sexual Addiction, Sexual compulsivity, and Sexual impulsivity and discuss their theoretical bases. A sample of 31 self‐defined sex addicts was assessed by means of interview and questionnaires and compared with a large age‐matched control group. A tendency to experience increased Sexual interest in states of depression or anxiety was strongly characteristic of the sex addict group. Dissociative experiences were described by 45% of sex addicts and may have some explanatory relevance. Obsessive‐compulsive mechanisms may be relevant in some cases, and the Addiction concept may prove to be relevant with further research. Overall, results suggested that out of control Sexual behavior results from a variety of mechanisms. We propose an alternative theoretical approach to investigating these mechanisms based on the dual control model and recent research on the relation between mood and Sexuality.

gender differences in compulsive buying disorder assessment of demographic and psychiatric co morbidities
PLOS ONE, 2016Co-Authors: Cristiana Nicoli De ,mattos, Hyoun S Kim, Marinalva G Requiao, Tatiana Zambrano Filomensky, David C Hodgins, Renata F Marasaldi, Hermano TavaresAbstract:Compulsive buying is a common disorder found worldwide. Although recent research has shed light into the prevalence, etiology and clinical correlates of compulsive buying disorder, less is known about gender differences. To address this empirical gap, we assessed potential gender differences in demographic and psychiatric co-morbidities in a sample of 171 compulsive buyers (20 men and 151 women) voluntarily seeking treatment in Sao Paulo, Brazil. A structured clinical interview confirmed the diagnosis of compulsive buying. Of the 171 participants, 95.9% (n = 164) met criteria for at least one co-morbid psychiatric disorder. The results found that male and female compulsive buyers did not differ in problem severity as assessed by the Compulsive Buying Scale. However, several significant demographic and psychiatric differences were found in a multivariate binary logistic regression. Specifically, male compulsive buyers were more likely to report being non-heteroSexual, and reported fewer years of formal education. In regards to psychiatric co-morbidities, male compulsive buyers were more likely to be diagnosed with Sexual Addiction, and intermittent explosive disorder. Conversely, men had lower scores on the shopping subscale of the Shorter PROMIS Questionnaire. The results suggest that male compulsive buyers are more likely to present with co-morbid psychiatric disorders. Treatment planning for compulsive buying disorder would do well to take gender into account to address for potential psychiatric co-morbidities.

Sexual compulsivity scale compulsive Sexual behavior inventory and hyperSexual disorder screening inventory translation adaptation and validation for use in brazil
Archives of Sexual Behavior, 2016Co-Authors: Marco De Tubino Scanavino, Hermano Tavares, Ana Ventuneac, Carmita Helena Najjar Abdo, Maria Luiza Santana Do Amaral, Bruna Messina, Sirlene Caramello Dos Reis, Joao P L B Martins, Jonathon H Rendina, Marina Caldana GordonAbstract:Epidemiological, behavioral, and clinical data on Sexual compulsivity in Brazil are very limited. This study sought to adapt and validate the Sexual Compulsivity Scale (SCS), the 22-item version of the Compulsive Sexual Behavior Inventory (CSBI-22), and the HyperSexual Disorder Screening Inventory (HDSI) for use in Brazil. A total of 153 participants underwent psychiatric assessment and completed self-reported measures. The adaptation process of the instruments from English to Portuguese followed the guidelines of the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research. The reliability and validity of the HDSI criteria were evaluated and the construct validity of all measures was examined. For the SCS and HDSI, factor analysis revealed one factor for each measure. For the CSBI-22, four factors were retained although we only calculated the scores of two factors (control and violence). All scores had good internal consistency (alpha >.75), presented high temporal stability (>.76), discriminated between patients and controls, and presented strong (ρ > .81) correlations with the Sexual Addiction Screening Test (except for the violence domain = .40) and moderate correlations with the Impulsive Sensation Seeking domain of the Zuckerman Kuhlman Personality Questionnaire (ρ between .43 and .55). The sensitivity of the HDSI was 71.93 % and the specificity was 100 %. All measures showed very good psychometric properties. The SCS, the HDSI, and the control domain of the CSBI-22 seemed to measure theoretically similar constructs, as they were highly correlated (ρ > .85). The findings support the conceptualization of hyperSexuality as a cluster of problematic symptoms that are highly consistent across a variety of measures.

compulsive Sexual behavior and psychopathology among treatment seeking men in sao paulo brazil
Psychiatry Research-neuroimaging, 2013Co-Authors: Marco De Tubino Scanavino, Hermano Tavares, Ana Ventuneac, Carmita Helena Najjar Abdo, Maria Luiza Santana Do Amaral, Bruna Messina, Sirlene Caramello Dos Reis, Joao P L B Martins, Jeffrey T ParsonsAbstract:This study examined compulsive Sexual behavior (CSB) and psychopathology in a treatment-seeking sample of men in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Eighty-six men (26% gay, 17% biSexual, 57% heteroSexual) who met diagnostic criteria for excessive Sexual drive and Sexual Addiction completed assessments consisting of the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview, a structured clinical interview for DSM-IV Axis I Disorders-Clinical Version (segment for Impulse Control Disorder), Sexual Compulsivity Scale (SCS), and questions about problematic CSB. The average SCS score for our sample was above the cut-off score reported in other studies, and 72% of the sample presented at least one Axis I psychiatric diagnosis. There were no differences among gay, biSexual, and heteroSexual men on SCS scores and psychiatric conditions, but gay and biSexual men were more likely than heteroSexual men to report casual sex and sex with multiple casual partners as problematic behaviors. SCS scores were associated with psychiatric co-morbidities, mood disorder, and suicide risk, but diagnosis of a mood disorder predicted higher SCS scores in a regression analysis. The study provides important data on the mental health needs of men with CSB in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

characteristics of self identified Sexual addicts in a behavioral Addiction outpatient clinic
Journal of behavioral addictions, 2016Co-Authors: Aline Wery, Gaelle Challetbouju, Francoisxavier Poudat, Julie Caillon, Delphine Lever, K De Vogelaere, Joel Billieux, Marie GrallbronnecAbstract:Background and aimsResearch on Sexual Addiction flourished during the last decade, promoted by the development of an increased number of online Sexual activities. Despite the accumulation of studies, however, evidence collected in clinical samples of treatment-seeking people remains scarce. The aim of this study was to describe the characteristics (socio-demographics, Sexual habits, and comorbidities) of self-identified “Sexual addicts.”MethodsThe sample was composed of 72 patients who consulted an outpatient treatment center regarding their Sexual behaviors. Data were collected through a combination of structured interviewing and self-report measures.ResultsMost patients were males (94.4%) aged 20–76 years (mean 40.3 ± 10.9). Endorsement of Sexual Addiction diagnosis varied from 56.9% to 95.8% depending on the criteria used. The Sexual behaviors reported to have the highest degree of functional impairment were having multiple Sexual partners (56%), having unprotected Sexual intercourse (51.9%), and using...

the short french internet Addiction test adapted to online Sexual activities validation and links with online Sexual preferences and Addiction symptoms
Journal of Sex Research, 2016Co-Authors: Aline Wery, Jonathan Burnay, Laurent Karila, Joel BillieuxAbstract:The goal of this study was to investigate the psychometric properties of a French version of the short Internet Addiction Test adapted to online Sexual activities (s-IAT-sex). The French version of the s-IAT-sex was administered to a sample of 401 men. The participants also completed a questionnaire that screened for Sexual Addiction (PATHOS). The relationships of s-IAT-sex scores with time spent online for online Sexual activities (OSAs) and the types of OSAs favored were also considered. Confirmatory analyses supported a two-factor model of s-IAT-sex, corresponding to the factorial structure found in earlier studies that used the short IAT. The first factor regroups loss of control and time management, whereas the second factor regroups craving and social problems. Internal consistency for each factor was evaluated with Cronbach's α coefficient, resulting in .87 for Factor 1, .76 for Factor 2, and .88 for the global scale. Concurrent validity was supported by relationships with symptoms of Sexual addict...

Sexual Addiction or hyperSexual disorder different terms for the same problem a review of the literature
Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2014Co-Authors: Laurent Karila, Aline Wery, Aviv Weinstein, Aymeric Petit, Michel Reynaud, Olivier Cottencin, Joel BillieuxAbstract:Sexual Addiction, which is also known as hyperSexual disorder, has largely been ignored by psychiatrists, even though the condition causes serious psychosocial problems for many people. A lack of empirical evidence on Sexual Addiction is the result of the disease's complete absence from versions of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. However, people who were categorized as having a compulsive, impulsive, addictive Sexual disorder or a hyperSexual disorder reported having obsessive thoughts and behaviors as well as Sexual fantasies. Existing prevalence rates of Sexual Addiction-related disorders range from 3% to 6%. Sexual Addiction/hyperSexual disorder is used as an umbrella construct to encompass various types of problematic behaviors, including excessive masturbation, cybersex, pornography use, Sexual behavior with consenting adults, telephone sex, strip club visitation, and other behaviors. The adverse consequences of Sexual Addiction are similar to the consequences of other addictive disorders. Addictive, somatic and psychiatric disorders coexist with Sexual Addiction. In recent years, research on Sexual Addiction has proliferated, and screening instruments have increasingly been developed to diagnose or quantify Sexual Addiction disorders. In our systematic review of the existing measures, 22 questionnaires were identified. As with other behavioral Addictions, the appropriate treatment of Sexual Addiction should combine pharmacological and psychological approaches. Psychiatric and somatic comorbidities that frequently occur with Sexual Addiction should be integrated into the therapeutic process. Group-based treatments should also be attempted.

Typology of Patients with Behavioral Addictions or Eating Disorders during a One-Year Period of Care: Exploring Similarities of Trajectory Using Growth Mixture Modeling Coupled with Latent Class Analysis
PLoS ONE, 2018Co-Authors: Marion Montourcy, Julie Caillon, Marie Grall-bronnec, Jean-benoit Hardouin, Juliette Leboucher, Morgane Rousselet, Gaëlle Challet-boujuAbstract:OBJECTIVES: Addictions are not restricted to substance-use disorders, and it is now widely recognized that they also include behavioral Addictions. Certain individuals with eating disorders also experiment their disorder as an Addiction. The objective was to identify typologies of patients presenting with various behavioral Addictions or eating disorders according to their evolution within the framework of care, and to specify the factors associated with the differential clinical trajectories. METHODS: We included 302 patients presenting with problem gambling, Sexual Addiction, compulsive buying, excessive videogame use or eating disorders. The patients completed a multiaxial assessment through a face-to-face structured interview and self-administered questionnaires, including sociodemographic and Addiction-related characteristics, psychiatric and addictive comorbidities and several psychological characteristics. The assessment was performed at inclusion and then repeated after 6 and 12 months. The statistical analysis included a combination of growth mixture models and latent class analysis. RESULTS: We identified five classes of patients with different profiles related to their trajectories during a one-year period of specialized care: "complex patients", "patients with impulsive psychological functioning", "patients with cooperative psychological functioning", "patients with immature psychological functioning," and "patients with resilient psychological functioning". CONCLUSIONS: The typology obtained brings interesting findings to propose patient-centered care strategies adapted to these disorders. Because the typology was independent from the type of disorder, it supports the general concept of behavioral Addictions, and the similarities between eating disorders and behavioral Addictions. The relevance of this model should be further examined in future studies.
