Abstract

Abstract Compulsive sexual behaviors (CSB; i.e., a pattern of excessive and difficult to control sexual behaviors and fantasies) and risky sexual behaviors (e.g., unprotected sex, increased number of sexual partners, exchange of sex for drugs or money) are prevalent among those in treatment for substance misuse. CSB positively associated with risky sexual behaviors among high-risk populations such as men who have sex with men and persons living with sexually transmitted infections; however, this relationship has yet to be examined among men in treatment for substance misuse. Given the high prevalence of risky sexual behaviors among substance misusing populations, we examined if CSB were positively related to risky sexual behaviors among adult men in residential substance misuse treatment (N = 266), while statistically controlling for research supported correlates of risky sexual behavior including impulsivity, sensation seeking, affective instability, substance use, and age. CSB was positively associated with risky sexual behavior and accounted for a significant amount of the variance in the model predicting risky sexual behaviors. Our findings suggest that, among substance misuse patients, CSB may be a risk factor for risky sexual behaviors.

药物滥用住院治疗中的男性危险性行为:强迫性性行为的作用

强迫性性行为(CSB;例如，过度和难以控制的性行为和性幻想的模式以及危险的性行为(例如，无保护的性行为、性伴侣数量的增加、以性换取毒品或金钱)在接受药物滥用治疗的人群中普遍存在。CSB与高危人群(如男男性行为者和性传播感染患者)的危险性行为呈正相关;然而，这种关系还没有在药物滥用治疗的男性中得到检验。鉴于高危性行为在药物滥用人群中的高流行率，我们研究了CSB是否与住院药物滥用治疗的成年男性的高危性行为呈正相关(N = 266)，同时统计控制了研究支持的高危性行为相关因素，包括冲动、寻求感觉、情感不稳定、药物使用和年龄。CSB与危险的性行为呈正相关，并且在预测危险的性行为的模型中占很大的方差。我们的研究结果表明，在药物滥用患者中，CSB可能是危险性行为的一个危险因素。

期刊介绍： Now being understood and treated as a significant and widespread disorder, sexual addiction and compulsivity is an enormously complex problem that requires a multidisciplinary approach from psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, family therapists, pastoral counselors, and law enforcement personnel. The first and only journal devoted to topics pertaining to this growing illness, Sexual Addiction & Compulsivity: The Journal of Treatment and Prevention is a quarterly, peer-reviewed journal that provides a forum for research and clinical practice. As the source for information in this expanding new field, this journal will give practicing clinicians useful and innovative strategies for intervention and treatment from the necessary multidisciplinary perspective.
