“…In a clinical sample derived from a survey of 43 clinician members of the German Society of Sex Research (Briken et al, 2007), 97 persons (males = 78; females = 19) seeking help for hypersexual behaviors (identified as paraphilia-related disorders) were described. In the predominantly male sample, the three most prevalent paraphilia-related disorders were pornography dependence (48.7%), compulsive masturbation (34.6%), and protracted promiscuity (20.5%).…”

“…Carnes and Delmonico (1996), drawing from a self-selected sample of 290 sex addicts, reported that 20% (n = 58) were females. In the small female sample (n = 19; 19.5% of their sample of 97 patients) reported by German sexological clinicians, protracted promiscuity, compulsive masturbation, and cybersex have been documented in women seeking treatment for Hypersexual Disorder (Briken et al, 2007). Winters et al (2009) reported on 69 women (0.8% of their sample) who sought treatment for sexual compulsivity but the specific behaviors that were disordered were not reported.…”

“…In comparison to males, female sexuality is better adapted to foster affiliative relationships and longer term partner commitment (Anderson, Cyranowski, & Aarestad, 2000). From these data, it would certainly follow that males are more vulnerable to hypersexual behaviors (Dodge, Reece, Cole, & Sandfort, 2004;Långström & Hanson, 2006), Hypersexual Disorder (Black, Kehrberg, Flumerfelt, & Schlosser, 1997;Briken, Habermann, Berner, & Hill, 2007;Raymond, Coleman, & Miner, 2003), paraphilias (American Psychiatric Association, 2000), and sexual aggression (Knight & Sims-Knight, 2003, 2004.

“…The hypersexual sample reported more interpersonal sensitivity/depressive (neuroticism) symptoms, obsessive characteristics, social alienation, and preoccupation than the sample norms of the scale. Briken et al (2007) ascertained ICD-10 defined Axis I psychiatric diagnoses from a sample of 97 patients (males; n = 78: females; n = 19) reported by survey from clinician members of the German Society of Sex Research. The most common group of conditions was ''neurotic disorders'' reported in 73.7% of females and 26.9% of males.…”

Hypersexual Disorder: A Proposed Diagnosis for DSM-V

2009

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Hypersexual Disorder is proposed as a new psychiatric disorder for consideration in the Sexual Disorders section for DSM-V. Historical precedents describing hypersexual behaviors as well as the antecedent representations and proposals for inclusion of such a condition in the previous DSM manuals are reviewed. Epidemiological as well as clinical evidence is presented suggesting that non-paraphilic "excesses" of sexual behavior (i.e., hypersexual behaviors and disorders) can be accompanied by both clinically significant personal distress and social and medical morbidity. The research literature describing comorbid Axis I and Axis II psychiatric disorders and a purported relationship between Axis I disorders and Hypersexual Disorder is discussed. Based on an extensive review of the literature, Hypersexual Disorder is conceptualized as primarily a nonparaphilic sexual desire disorder with an impulsivity component. Specific polythetic diagnostic criteria, as well as behavioral specifiers, are proposed, intended to integrate empirically based contributions from various putative pathophysiological perspectives, including dysregulation of sexual arousal and desire, sexual impulsivity, sexual addiction, and sexual compulsivity.

Viewing Sexual Stimuli Associated with Greater Sexual Responsiveness, Not Erectile Dysfunction

IntroductionTime spent viewing visual sexual stimuli (VSS) has the potential to habituate the sexual response and generalize to the partner context.AimThe aim of this study was to examine whether the time spent viewing VSS is related to sexual responsiveness felt in the laboratory or with a sexual partner.MethodsNontreatment-seeking men (N = 280) reported their weekly average VSS viewing in hours. VSS hours were examined in relation to the sexual arousal experienced while viewing a standardized sexual film in the laboratory and erectile problems experienced with a sexual partner.Main Outcome MeasuresSelf-reported sexual arousal in response to sexual films and erectile problems on the International Index of Erectile Function were the main outcome measures.ResultsMore hours viewing VSS was related to stronger experienced sexual responses to VSS in the laboratory, was unrelated to erectile functioning with a partner, and was related to stronger desire for sex with a partner.ConclusionsVSS use within the range of hours tested is unlikely to negatively impact sexual functioning, given that responses actually were stronger in those who viewed more VSS.
