Perspectives on the assessment and treatment of adult ADHD in hypersexual men

Abstract: This article reviews the current body of research on adult ADHD and hypersexual behavior. Drawing on perspectives from the fields of psychology and neuroscience, several suggestions are offered to explain why individuals with ADHD may be vulnerable to engaging in hypersexual behavior. Assessment guidelines are provided to help clinicians differentiate characteristics of hypersexuality from adult ADHD. Finally, recommendations are made for the treatment of adult ADHD in hypersexual patients.

“…Interestingly, ADHD has also been linked to hypersexuality with approximately 23 % of treatment-seeking patients meeting criteria for an inattentive presentation [45]. Impulsivity in drug users has been linked to increased discounting of delayed large rewards in favor of immediate small rewards [46].…”

“…Although a full review of research correlating (or failing to correlate) IP use with social and personal problems is beyond the scope of this paper, existing studies associate IP use with greater anxiety (Voon et al, 2014), shyness (Luster, Nelson, Poulsen, & Willoughby, 2013), depression (Weaver et al, 2011), poorer academic performance (Beyens, Vandenbosch, & Eggermont, 2015), ADHD (Reid, Davtian, Lenartowicz, Torrevillas, & Fong, 2013), and relationship dissatisfaction (Morgan, 2011). Researchers have also linked IP use with arousal, attraction, and sexual performance problems, including difficulty orgasming and erectile dysfunction (ED) (Sutton, Stratton, Pytyck, Kolla, & Cantor, 2015;Wéry & Billieux, 2016;Voon et al, 2014, Porto, 2016, negative effects on partnered sex (Poulsen, Busby, & Galovan, 2013;Sun, Bridges, Johnason, & Ezzell, 2014), a need for stronger pornographic material (Wéry & Billieux, 2016), and a preference for using IP to achieve and maintain arousal rather than having sex with a partner (Sun, Miezan, Lee, & Shim, 2015).…”

“…Ambas patologías comparten ciertos síntomas (p.e., dificultades en la inhibición conductual y control de impulsos) que podrían explicarse a partir del funcionamiento anómalo del control ejecutivo (Reid, Davtian, Lenartowicz, Torrevillas, & Fong, 2013). De hecho, la comorbilidad entre ambos trastornos es bastante alta: concretamente, del 16.7-18.7% cuando analizamos los antecedentes de TDAH durante la infancia (Kafka, 1997) y del 21-26% cuando analizamos la presencia de síntomas de TDAH en la actualidad (Blankenship & Laarser, 2004;Reid, Carpenter, Gilliland, & Karim, 2011).…”

“…La prevalencia para el trastorno histriónico (que resultó el más frecuente en la investigación anterior) fue del 0%. Reid et al (2013) obtienen una comorbilidad un tanto mayor al analizar los resultados del cuestionario de screening de personalidad, si bien los resultados de la entrevista marcan distancia con los estudios precedentes. Según el cuestionario de screening, el 64% de los 123 pacientes evaluados excedería el punto de corte para al menos 3 trastornos de la personalidad y el 29% lo haría para 6 o más.…”
