This paper discussed sexual addiction as a complex topic that frequently prompts much negative judgement due to its recurrent patterns of betrayal, illumination of previously concealed sexual activities, exposure of unknowing partners to disease risk, and partner threat. Additionally, frequent sexual stimulation was reported to persist despite grave negative consequences in sexual addiction, which is a chronic, relapsing condition. Arguments were also made about sexual addiction as a type of impulse control disease, where it was viewed from the impulsive perspective as risk-takers who pursue pleasure without considering the effects on themselves and others. In this essay, a few further points were raised, such as the notions of relationship disorder and sexual addiction as subtypes of compulsive behavior.

2010 The impact of compulsive cybersex behaviors on the family.
The family is frequently ignored when treating compulsive and sexual addiction. This led to this study that was inspired by a quick survey that was completed by 91 women and three men who felt they had suffered major negative effects as a result of another person’s involvement in cybersex. This reveals more that this condition affects the family as a whole as well as the recognized patient, spouse, or partner. Couples in this article who separated or divorced reported that cybersex addiction was a significant contributing factor.

2010 Male victims of male sexual assault; A review of psychological consequences and treatment.
Women’s sexual assault and rape have received a lot of attention from society, in contrast to male sexual assault, which is rarely addressed. By underlining the effects of sexual assault on males as well as the effects of MSA in terms of self-disclosure and psychological repercussions, this essay aims to further the conversation. There were also two main schools of thought that were discussed; the first one claimed that MSA is a sexually motivated crime that primarily involves homosexual men, while the other claimed that MSA is a reflection of issues with power, aggression, and domination and that its perpetrators are typically heterosexual men. MSA has a number of negative effects, including shame, despair, anger, sexual dysfunction, and self-doubt for the victim. Asides the consequences of male sexual assault, this paper extended its research to the effective treatment interventions for the related consequences.
2010 Marshal: The role of attachments, intimacy and loneliness in the etiology and maintenance of sexual offending.
The vulnerability of the offender is a crucial component of the general theory of sex offending. Poor quality attachment relationships between the youngster who will grow up to commit sex crimes and his parents are the main cause of this vulnerability. Low self-confidence and a lack of empathy for others are caused by poor quality bonds. In order to show a connection between low-quality attachments, loneliness, closeness, and the inclination to sexually offend, this paper makes an effort to combine all of these processes.
