TL;DR: The HD criteria proposed by the DSM-5 Work Group on Sexual and Gender Identity Disorders appear to demonstrate high reliability and validity when applied to patients in a clinical setting among a group of raters with modest training on assessing HD.

TL;DR: Psychometric evidence is demonstrated for the PCI items that measure tendencies of hypersexual men to use pornography to escape, cope, or avoid uncomfortable emotional experiences or stress, and to satisfy desires for excitement, novelty, and variety.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the interplay of shame and guilt in maintenance of hypersexual behavior in persons seeking treatment for compulsive pornography use (n = 177) and found significant positive relationships between shame and hypersexuality, and between guilt-proneness with both motivation to change and preventive behaviors.

TL;DR: Using cluster analysis, 4 distinct clusters appeared to be unique on measures of attachment, demographics, and shame proneness among a large sample of men seeking treatment for excessive sexual behaviors.

TL;DR: Which facets of ADHD symptoms are most strongly associated with hyper sexual behavior among a patient sample of men are examined to provide evidence that the associated features of ADHD, such as problems with low self-esteem, might be more salient factors in influencing hypersexuality severity among patients with comorbid hypersexual behavior and ADHD.
