Sexual Impulsivity in Hypersexual Men

Abstract: Hypersexual behavior is an emerging construct that is receiving increased attention from both clinicians and researchers. Several theoretical perspectives exist about hypersexuality and its associated characteristics. Although the role of impulsivity and how it might be linked to hypersexuality are still being investigated, this article attempts to highlight some of the important concepts related to impulsivity and how they differ from compulsivity. Findings from the field of neuroscience and psychology are in… Show more

“…However, the literature has failed to produce a consistent and unified phenomenological profile [7]. Indeed, it is clear that some individuals with hypersexuality exhibit compulsivity; that is, dysregulated sexuality to alleviate negative emotional states [30,37], whereas others have found that individuals show impulsivity directed toward enhancing positive emotional states [36,[38][39][40]. In addition to comparisons across samples, such contradictions in motivational states have been indicated within samples.…”

“…De hecho, durante mucho tiempo, ambos términos se utilizaron de forma indistinta para referirse a un mismo fenómeno: la incapacidad para controlar los impulsos que nos empujan a realizar una determinada conducta (Kingston & Firestone, 2008;Reid, Berlin, & Kingston, 2015). En la actualidad, se considera que compulsividad e impulsividad comparten alteraciones en los mismos procesos cognitivos y un sustrato neurobiológico común, pero cuya expresión es opuesta (Fineberg et al, 2010).…”

“…Para empezar, existe una notable confusión en torno a la conceptualización y a la evaluación de la impulsividad, confusión posiblemente atribuible a que al mismo tiempo han convivido dos formas distintas de considerarla: la impulsividad como dimensión psicológica y como síntoma psicopatológico (Reid et al, 2015). Como dimensión, la impulsividad es un componente que refleja una tendencia a reaccionar a los estímulos internos o externos con respuestas rápidas y poco reflexivas (Moeller et al, 2001).…”
