Sent: 30 October 2012 03:27 Dear folks, I think this is a bigger issue. Who is defining these women as "addicts" (the author or the women themselves)? Who is defining that this has been a "struggle" (the author or the women themselves? The term hypersexuality also has its problems, what is non-hypersexuality? I would argue that these terms are misunderstood by the medical community and often inappropriately applied. The concept of hypersexual women, appears to be a repackaging of nymphomania. There are individuals with self-perceived out of control sexuality (SPOOCS). Some SPOOCS may benefit from psychiatric interventions, some many benefit from sex education, and some benefit from finding a support group. A few things I have written on the subject. Moser, C. (2011). Hypersexual disorder: Just more muddled thinking. Archives of Sexual Behavior, 40(2), 227-229. Moser, C. (2009). When is an unusual sexual interest a mental disorder? Archives of Sexual Behavior, 38(3), 323-325. If anyone is interested, my CV can be accessed here: http://home.netcom.com/~docx2/CV.htm Take care, Charles Moser, PhD, MD Original post - Subject: [CRITSEX] Female Hypersexuality/Sex Addiction Hi all, I was wondering if anyone is able to offer me any advice or point me to the direction of recruiting some Female Sex Addicts. I am in my final year of my PhD and having much difficulty getting females among the British population who are willing to talk about their struggle with the addiction. Any help would be great. Many thanks in advance.
