New study on compulsive sexual behavior


Recommended Posts

Posted

I told Tacenda that being addicted to sex is like being addicted to MDDB, youtube, facebook, politics, or text messages. There is no evidence that sex addiction is real, at least not in the medical field.  BYU & LDS church don't really need sex addiction recovery programs. Church doesn't have special anti-mormon literature, cursing, unhealthy eating habits, R-movies addiction recovery programs, why does it need one for sex? 

Besides, our brain responds in this same observable way when we enjoy a sunset or hug someone.

AIMS: To review the evidence base for classifying compulsive sexual behavior (CSB) as a non-substance or 'behavioral' addiction.

METHODS: Data from multiple domains (e.g. epidemiological, phenomenological, clinical, biological) are reviewed and considered with respect to data from substance and gambling addictions.

RESULTS: Overlapping features exist between CSB and substance use disorders. Common neurotransmitter systems may contribute to CSB and substance use disorders, and recent neuroimaging studies highlight similarities relating to craving and attentional biases. Similar pharmacological and psychotherapeutic treatments may be applicable to CSB and substance addictions, although considerable gaps in knowledge currently exist.

CONCLUSIONS: Despite the growing body of research linking compulsive sexual behavior (CSB) to substance addictions, significant gaps in understanding continue to complicate classification of CSB as an addiction.

If you ignore another mod the next step will be to block you from opening new topics.
