Abstract

Sexual addiction has become the catch-all for infidelity, cheating, promiscuity, and rape. Recently it has become the newest claim for rapists and child molesters. Sexual addiction was defined similarly to how the DSM-5 has defined substance use disorders. Following the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria, as well as how Carnes et al. defined sexual addiction, it sometimes appears as though sexual offenders are sex addicts and are therefore not responsible for their sexually abusive behaviour. Sex offenders may have a sexual addiction in addition to being a sexual offender; however the sexual addiction has nothing to do with sexual offending. No different than a sex offender having a substance use disorder- the drugs or alcohol used never cause the offender to rape, rape is a choice the offender makes whether sober or intoxicated. Sexual addiction involves having intense thoughts involving sexual activities and may include engaging in numerous promiscuous sexual encounters and frequent masturbation. However, those sexual encounters are not about forced sex, just about sex. Sexual offenders rape and molest because of thoughts involving the use of physical or psychological use of force to obtain sex and/or because of sexual thoughts involving children or adolescents.

性瘾或强奸

性瘾已经成为不忠、欺骗、滥交和强奸的代名词。最近，它已成为强奸犯和猥亵儿童者的最新索赔。性成瘾的定义与DSM-5对物质使用障碍的定义相似。根据DSM-5的诊断标准，以及Carnes等人对性成瘾的定义，有时性犯罪者似乎是性成瘾者，因此不必为他们的性虐待行为负责。性犯罪者除了是性犯罪者之外，还可能有性瘾;然而，性成瘾与性犯罪无关。与患有药物使用障碍的性犯罪者没有什么不同——所使用的药物或酒精从未导致犯罪者强奸，强奸是犯罪者在清醒或醉酒时做出的选择。性成瘾包括对性活动有强烈的想法，可能包括大量的滥交和频繁的手淫。然而，这些性接触并不是强迫性的，只是性。性犯罪者由于涉及使用身体或心理上的武力来获得性和/或由于涉及儿童或青少年的性思想而强奸和骚扰。
