Abstract:
Sexual addiction or hypersexuality is a psychological disorder and behavioural in which the person experiences 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 11th Version of the International Classification of Diseases.
