“…The study focused on males because the prevalence of sexual addiction is higher in men than in women, the estimated ratio of sexual addiction being between 3 and 5 men to each woman (Black, Kehrberg, Flumerfelt, & Schlosser, 1997;Carnes, 2000). More specifically, the aims of the current investigation were (a) to establish the factor structure of the s-IAT-sex by using …”

“…Meta-analytic data suggest that men score higher than women on specific aspects of impulsivity and related measures (Cross et al, 2011). Men tend more frequently to constitute clinical groups characterized by impaired impulse control including substance-use, gambling and hypersexual disorders (Wilsnack et al, 2009; Seedat et al, 2009; Brezing et al, 2010; Black et al, 1997; Miner et al, 2009, Raymond et al, 2003; Reid et al, 2012)…”

“…Sexual behaviors have been associated with depression in adolescents (Welsh et al, 2003). Compulsive sexual behavior (CSB) frequently co-occurs with Axis-I psychopathology and personality disorders (PDs) in research populations (Raymond et al 2003, Black et al, 1997; Kafka and Prentky, 1994; Rinehart and McCabe, 1998; Kafka and Henin, 2002; Carpenter et al, 2013). Although risky sexual behaviors may be more frequently acknowledged by men, they may associate more strongly with psychopathology in women.…”

“…To investigate, data from the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC) were interrogated (Grant et al, 2001). Based on data described above and elsewhere (Black et al, 1997; Carnes et al, 1991; Raymond et al, 2003; Desai and Potenza, 2008; Opitz et al, 2009), we hypothesized that: 1) SI would be more frequently acknowledged by men than by women; 2) SI would be positively associated with Axis-I and Axis-II disorders in men and women; and 3) gender would moderate the associations between SI and Axis-I and Axis-II disorders such that a stronger relationship between SI and psychopathology would be observed in women as compared with men.…”

Objective Sexual impulsivity (SI) has been associated with conditions that have substantial public health costs, such as sexually transmitted infections and unwanted pregnancies. However, SI has not been examined systematically with respect to its relationships to psychopathology. We aimed to investigate associations between SI and psychopathology, including gender-related differences. Method We performed a secondary data analysis of Wave-2 of the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC), a national sample of 34,653 adults in the United States. DSM-IV-based diagnoses of mood, anxiety, drug and personality disorders were assessed using the Alcohol Use Disorder and Associated Disabilities Interview Scheduled DSM-IV Version. Results The prevalence of SI was considerable (14.7%), with greater acknowledgment by men than women (18.9% versus 10.9%; p<0.0001). For both women and men, SI was positively associated with most Axis-I and Axis-II psychiatric disorders (OR range: Women, Axis-I:1.89-6.14, Axis-II:2.10-10.02; Men, Axis-I:1.92-6.21, Axis-II:1.63-6.05). Significant gender-related differences were observed. Among women as compared to men, SI was more strongly associated with social phobia, alcohol abuse/dependence, and paranoid, schizotypal, antisocial, borderline, narcissistic, avoidant and obsessive-compulsive personality disorders. Conclusion The robust associations between SI and psychopathology across genders suggest the need for screening and interventions related to SI for individuals with psychiatric concerns. The stronger associations between SI and psychopathology among women as compared to men emphasize the importance of a gender-oriented perspective in targeting SI. Longitudinal studies are needed to determine the extent to SI predates, postdates or co-occurs with specific psychiatric conditions.

“…In another study by Lejoyeux et al (13), compulsive buying in depressed patients was significantly associated with impulse control disorders. One study has reported the relationship between major depression or dysthymia and compulsive sexual behavior (14). A relationship has been found between Internet addiction and depression disorders in a majority of studies (15, 16).…”

Background:Behavioral addictions (BAs) can be understood as disorders characterized by repetitive occurrence of reactivity and uncontrolled behaviors. Very few studies have investigated their association with bipolar mood disorders.Objectives:The present study aimed to determine the role of behavioral addictions in predicting interpersonal behavioral addictions in bipolar mood disorder patients.Materials and Methods:This study had a cross-sectional correlation design. The statistical population was composed of all outpatients with bipolar mood disorders referring to clinical centers in Ardabil. The sample included 60 bipolar mood patients selected from patients referring to clinical centers using the available sampling method. A researcher-made behavioral addiction checklist, Interpersonal Behavioral Addictions Index, and exercise, sexual, and work addiction questionnaires, were used for data collection. The data were analyzed with a Pearson’s correlation coefficient and multivariate regression analysis.Results:The results showed a significant negative relationship between behavioral addictions and interpersonal behavioral addictions (P ≥ 0.01). Multivariate regression analysis results also showed that behavioral addictions are significant and can explain 61% of the variance of interpersonal behavioral addictions in bipolar mood patients.Conclusions:These results suggest that addictive behaviors can affect behavioral addictions in bipolar mood patients. Behavioral addictions lead to negative emotional regulation strategies and result in increased behavioral addictions in these patients. People with high levels of arousal or those who cannot control their behavioral addictions are probably more prone to addictive behaviors.
