The literature on dysregulated sexuality, whether theoretical, clinical or empirical, has failed to differentiate the construct from high sexual desire. In this study, we tested three hypotheses which addressed this issue. A sample of 6458 men and 7938 women, some of whom had sought treatment for sexual compulsivity, addiction or impulsivity, completed an online survey comprised of various sexuality measures. Men and women who reported having sought treatment scored significantly higher on measures of dysregulated sexuality and sexual desire. For men, women, and those who had sought treatment, dysregulated sexuality was associated with increased sexual desire. Confirmatory factor analysis supported a one-factor model, indicating that, in both male and female participants, dysregulated sexuality and sexual desire variables loaded onto a single underlying factor. The results of this study suggest that dysregulated sexuality, as currently conceptualized, labelled, and measured, may simply be a marker of high sexual desire and the distress associated with managing a high degree of sexual thoughts, feelings, and needs.
有关失调性行为的文献，无论是理论、临床还是实证研究，都未能将这一概念与高性欲区分开来。在这项研究中，我们检验了三个假设，这些假设解决了这个问题。我们对 6458 名男性和 7938 名女性进行了抽样调查，其中一些人曾因性强迫、性成瘾或冲动寻求治疗，他们完成了一项在线调查，其中包括各种性行为测量。报告寻求治疗的男性和女性在失调性行为和性欲测量上的得分显著更高。对于男性、女性和寻求治疗的人来说，失调性行为与增加的性欲有关。验证性因素分析支持单因素模型，表明在男性和女性参与者中，失调性行为和性欲变量都加载到一个单一的潜在因素上。这项研究的结果表明，目前概念化、标记和测量的失调性行为可能只是高性欲的一个标志，以及与管理高度性思想、感觉和需求相关的困扰的标志。
