exual addiction or hypersexuality is a psychological disorder and behavioural in which the person expe-

riences an obsessive pathological need to have sex or in any case to think about sex and therefore has a

dependence on sexual activity (Similar to that which can be had for any type of substance or other behavior).

Over the last 30 years, this issue has been debated for a long time but there is still no general consensus on its

main features: Therminology, epidemiology, aetiology, comorbidities, assessment and treatment. The author

will present and update on these aspects also based on the recent proposals of the 11

Version of the Interna-

tional Classification of Diseases.
