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…
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 and Clinical Profile in Spanish-Speaking Individuals with Problematic Engagement in Online Sexual Activities
Problematic engagement in Online Sexual Activities (OSA) has become an increasing concern, given the rapid rise of digital technologies and the consequences of this clinical picture. However, there is still no consensus regarding the nosology and diagnostic criteria of this emerging condition. Although several studies have examined the characteristics and predictors of problematic OSA, few relied on clinical samples or comprehensive diagnostic to…
Too Little Too Late
Introduction: Despite the importance of school-based sexual health education (SHE) for enhancing sexual health outcomes, little is known about the SHE youth receive in Spain. Objective: The goal of this research was to shed light on the experience of SHE of Spanish adults. Method: Participants were 524 Spaniards (73% women, 27% men) between 18 to 70 years of age (M = 35.29, SD = 11.68) who completed an on-line survey. This survey collected inform…

Salivary testosterone levels are associated with Compulsive Sexual Behavior (CSB) in men but not in women in a community sample
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…
Sexual life of Spanish women during the lockdown by Covid-19
HIV and STI Prevention Among Spanish Women Who have Sex with Women
The scientific community has systematically ignored the needs of women who have sex with women (WSW). The invisibilization of romantic and sexual relationships between women has caused a profound lack of knowledge about the impact of HIV and other STIs on this population subgroup. This study aims to analyze the frequency of dental dam and condom use in WSW and identify the variables that explain the use of these two preventive methods. The sample…
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…
What Does Heterosexuality Mean? Same-Sex Attraction, Behaviors, and Discomfort Among Self-identified Heterosexual Young Adults from Spain
Sexuality has been censored by Spanish culture, where legal progress in the form of new policies about sexual diversity rights has not been followed by lower levels of social discrimination. This has affected sexual development across the lifespan for both sexual minorities and heterosexual people who experience their sexuality outside of heteronormativity. However, the literature has regularly excluded the possible consequences of the experience…
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…
Spanish Women and Pornography Based on Different Sexual Orientation
Introduction The proactive role of women in sexuality has been socially invisible, especially in regard to pornography use. For this reason, this study aims to explore Spanish women’s sexual experiences regarding viewing, arousal, and discomfort as perceived by different types of pornography and based on the women’s sexual orientation. Methods Between January and March 2019, 2730 Spanish women between 18 and 44 years old ( M = 24.16; SD = 6.04) c…
