TL;DR: In this paper, the psychometric properties of the Hypersexual Behavior Inventory (HBI) are reported using treatment-seeking samples of hypersexual men. And the authors provide results of a confirmatory factor analysis yielding a 3-factor model measuring Control, Consequences, and Coping associated with sexual thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

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: A new scale, the Hypersexual Behavior Consequences Scale (HBCS), is developed to assess the various consequences reported among hypersexual patients and appears to capture various consequences associated with the DSM-5 proposed criteria for HD.

TL;DR: Garos et al. as mentioned in this paper evaluated to what extent partners' psychosocial and relational adjustment relates to prostate cancer patient adjustment and suggested the importance of including partners' adjustment in assessing patient adjustment post-treatment.

TL;DR: The results contradict a previous finding of executive deficits among hypersexual men measured by self-report and suggest that this population may exhibit domain-specific aspects of impulsivity, poor judgment, and risky behavior that are not generalizable to other domains of life.
