“…CSB has frequently been investigated in men who have sex with men ( Coleman, 1991 ; Coleman et al, 2010 ; Ni et al., 2021 ) and often in association with sexual risk taking ( Rooney, Tulloch, & Blashill, 2018 ). Sexual urges and the frequency of sexual behavior (e.g., total sexual outlet) are age-dependent ( Peters, Pullman, Kingston, & Lalumière, 2022 ), with CSB being negatively related to age. Characteristics such as number of partners, masturbation frequency, number of orgasms per day or week (i.e., total sexual outlet) ( Peters et al., 2022 ), and non-existent or infrequent condom use (as a potential risk factor for STI infection; Ni et al., 2021 ; Luo et al., 2018 ; Scanavino et al., 2018 ), are important correlates of CSB.…”

Background and aims The purpose of this study was to examine the prevalence and correlates of indicators consistent with Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder (CSBD)—defined and operationalized according to the ICD-11 guidelines—in a large (n = 4,633; 50.5% male; 49,5% female) probability-based German national sample. Methods Participants were asked if they had ever experienced “intense and recurring sexual impulses or sexual urges that I had difficulty controlling and resulted in sexual behavior” over a period of several months. Those who reported this experience were queried about the associated distress. Results Overall, 4.9% of men [95% CI = 3.9–6.1] and 3.0% of women [95% CI = 2.3–3.9] reported experiences consistent with ICD-11 diagnostic requirements for lifetime diagnosis. In the 12 months preceding the study, 3.2% of men [95% CI = 2.4–4.2] and 1.8% of women [95% CI = 1.2–2.5] reported experiences consistent with CSBD requirements. Compared to controls and participants who reported elements of compulsive sexuality but without accompanying distress, strict religious upbringing was most prevalent in the CSBD group. The CSBD group was more likely to view sexual practices like men having sex with men as unacceptable and to report the belief that pornography has negative impacts on their sex life and life in general. Compared to the other two groups, the CSBD group was significantly more likely to have received psychiatric treatment for depression or another mental health problem during the past 12 months. Discussion and conclusions The current study provides novel and important insights into the prevalence and characteristics of CSBD in the general population.
