The Semi‐Structured Clinical Interview for the Assessment of Compulsive Sexual Behavior (SSCI‐CSB)
OBJECTIVES: The assessment of Compulsive Sexual Behavior (CSB) requires fine-grained assessment approaches, ideally through clinical interviews. However, none of the few available clinical interviews for CSB have demonstrated strong psychometric properties. To address this limitation, we developed the Semi-Structured Clinical Interview for the assessment of CSB (SSCI-CSB), an interview that gathers information on the manifestations, symptoms, and…
Compulsive sexual behavior disorder (CSBD) and problematic pornography use (PPU)
Toward a theoretically grounded preventive framework for Problematic Pornography Use
A small proportion of pornography users experience problems to control this sexual behavior (i.e., "Problematic Pornography Use" [PPU]), leading to significant distress and functional impairment. Although several therapeutic interventions for PPU exist and have shown promising results, only a small proportion of affected individuals seek or access treatment. In this context, prevention of PPU (i.e., interventions designed to reduce the risk of PP…
Sexual Assertiveness and Sexual Victimization Across Different Life Stages
Objectives A growing body of research indicate that experiencing sexual victimization may be linked to lower levels of sexual assertiveness, yet significant gaps remain in understanding how this association varies across the life stages in which one is victimized, gender identities, and cultural contexts. Prior studies have primarily focused on cisgender women from Western countries, mainly examined adolescent/adult sexual assault (AASA), and emp…

Effects of 72-hour abstinence from instant messaging on craving, withdrawal, and affect
The effects of abstinence from digital services and/or devices (aka “digital detox”) on mental health have received increased interest in recent years. Regular breaks and abstinent periods are advised to help individuals who overuse digital technology, but the psychological benefits and related consequences require empirical attention. While some studies have examined the impact of abstinence from smartphone or social networks (SN) on mental heal…

Cross-cultural Validation of the Arizona Sexual Experience Scale (Asex) in 42 Countries and 26 Languages
Introduction The Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale (ASEX) is a brief questionnaire that evaluates five major aspects of sexual function: sex drive, arousal, erectile function/vaginal lubrication, ability to reach orgasm, and satisfaction with orgasm.

Compulsive sexual behavior disorder in 42 countries
Distortions in time perception related to videogames, pornography, and TV series exposure
Salivary testosterone levels are associated with Compulsive Sexual Behavior (CSB) in men but not in women in a community sample
Attentional inhibitory control interference related to videogames, pornography, and TV series exposure
Attentional inhibitory control (AIC) is responsible for ignoring salient yet irrelevant stimuli (i.e., distractors) to focus cognitive resources on goal-oriented demands. While the relevance of this cognitive process is well established when it comes to explaining the etiopathogenesis of substance use disorders, few studies have investigated AIC in the context of non-substance-related addictive behaviors. This experimental study focused on explor…
Natural Course of Compulsive Sexual Behavior (CSB)
Despite the recognition of compulsive sexual behavior (CSB) as a diagnostic entity in the ICD-11, few works have reported on its natural course. The aim of this study was to explore the natural course of CSB over a 1-year period, as well as to analyze the predictive power of different risk factors. A convenience sample of 154 young adults were assessed at baseline and after 1 year. Dimensionally, we found that scores on most CSB symptoms signific…
Analyzing the role of resilience and life satisfaction as mediators of the impact of Covid‐19 worries on mental health
The aim of this study was to test whether resilience and life satisfaction (two traditional protective factors) mediate between COVID-19 related worries and the development of symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress in adolescents and young adults. Participants involved 392 adolescents and young adults (70.20% female) aged between 12 and 25 years (M = 17.05 years, SD = 3.08). Participants completed the COVID-19 related worries scale, the CD-R…
Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder should not be classified by solely relying on component/symptomatic features
The paper by Sassover and Weinstein (2022) contributes to a timely and complex debate related to the classification of Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder (CSBD). The recent inclusion of CSBD as an impulse-control disorder in the ICD-11 has generated debate since a competitive view is that CSBD should rather be classified as an addictive disorder. Sassover and Weinstein (2022) reviewed existing evidence and concluded it does not support the conce…

For this,…
Pornography Consumption in People of Different Age Groups
Introduction Pornography consumption has increased exponentially in recent decades. Most studies conducted so far are focused on adult samples (typically, between 18 and 30 years old), limiting the generalizability of their results. This study aims to create a taxonomy that groups various pornographic contents and thus explore different aspects of its use (e.g., preference for different pornographic content, excessive and problematic use) in peop…

“Diagnostic inflation” will not resolve taxonomical problems in the study of addictive online behaviours
This article suggests that the type of Internet-enabled device should not be prioritised when conceptualizing diagnostic categories of addictive online behaviours. The diagnostic distinction between “predominantly mobile” and “predominantly non-mobile” forms of Internet use disorders (IUD) is not empirically based, may not be clinically useful and may lead to “diagnostic inflation.” Problems with the concepts of smartphone use disorder and IUD on…
Problematic and non-problematic engagement in Online Sexual Activities across the lifespan
During the last decade, the number of people using the Internet for sexual purposes has increased exponentially. However, most studies conducted so far have analysed Online Sexual Activity (OSA) of adolescents and young people, meaning that we have few information on how this phenomenon is expressed across the lifespan. The aim of this study was to analyse three aspects of OSA (prevalence of different OSAs, motives to engage in OSA, and excessive…
Problematic internet use prior to and during the Covid-19 pandemic
The health and socio-economic challenges arising from the COVID-19 pandemic have led to greater reliance on the internet to meet basic needs and responsibilities. Greater engagement in online activities may have negative mental and physical health consequences for some vulnerable individuals, particularly under mandatory self-isolation or ‘lockdown’ conditions. The present study investigated whether changes in levels of involvement in online acti…
