This paper reports on a descriptive, quantitative study exploring the possibility of sexual addiction in men arrested for seeking out prostitutes. The context for this preliminary research was uniquely Canadian in that each of the subjects had been arrested for the first time on the Canadian criminal charge commonly known as "communicating for the purpose of prostitution." Contact with these subjects was possible through their participation in a one-day prostitution offender program commonly known as "john school," designed to educate selected offenders arrested for the first time on the above-mentioned charge. A sample of 42 men recruited from three john schools agreed to anonymously complete a questionnaire designed to answer the research questions. The findings indicated that one third of the sample was possibly sexually addicted. As well, statistically significant relationships were found between possible sexual addiction and two factors: first-time prostitute visitation between ages 15 and 24; and the subject indicating that "strong sex drive" was a reason he would seek out a prostitute. The researcher relied on Patrick Carnes' (1994) Sexual Addiction Screening Test but concludes that a formal diagnostic test for sexual addiction is needed in DSM-V to allow greater precision in identifying and understanding such addiction. Knowledge about sexual addiction, it is argued, will assist nurses and other health practitioners to serve sexually addicted persons more effectively.

Regulating Vice

Leitzel

Regulating Vice provides a new, interdisciplinary lens for examining vice policy, and focuses that lens on traditional vices such as alcohol, nicotine, drugs, gambling, and commercial sex. Regulating Vice argues that public policies toward addictive activities should work well across a broad array of circumstances, including situations in which all participants are fully informed and completely rational, and other situations in which vice-related choices are marked by self-control lapses or irrationality. This precept rules out prohibitions of most private adult vice, and also rules out unfettered access to substances such as alcohol, tobacco, and cocaine. Sin taxes, advertising restrictions, buyer and seller licensing, and treatment subsidies are all potentially legitimate components of balanced vice policies. Regulating Vice brings a sophisticated and rigorous analysis to vice control issues, an analysis that applies to prostitution as well as drugs, to tobacco as well as gambling, while remaining accessible to a broad social science audience.
