Despite a growing number of studies, hypersexuality remains controversial and empirically elusive. Using a group comparison approach, this study revisited the claim that hypersexuality cannot be reliably distinguished from high sexual desire. An online survey, advertised as focusing on pornography use and sexual health, was carried out in 2014 among 1,998 Croatian men aged 18 to 60 years (M = 34.7, SD = 9.83). Membership in the hypersexuality group (HYP; n = 57) was determined using the Hypersexual Disorder Screening Inventory and the Hypersexual Behavior Consequences Scale. The highest values on two indicators of sexual desire/interest set membership in the high sexual desire group (HSD; n = 70). The overlap between the groups was negligible (n = 4). Compared to the rest of the sample, men in the HYP group had significantly higher odds of being single, not exclusively heterosexual, religious, depressed, prone to sexual boredom, experiencing substance abuse consequences, holding negative attitudes toward pornography use, and evaluating one's sexual morality more negatively. In contrast, the HSD group differed from controls only in reporting more positive attitudes toward pornography use. The study findings point to a distinct phenomenology of HSD and HYP in men. Clinical implications of the findings are briefly discussed.
尽管研究数量不断增加，但性欲亢进仍然存在争议且在实证方面难以捉摸。本研究采用组间比较方法，重新审视了性欲亢进无法与高性欲可靠区分的说法。2014年，针对1998名年龄在18至60岁（M = 34.7，SD = 9.83）的克罗地亚男性开展了一项在线调查，该调查宣传为聚焦于色情内容使用和性健康。使用性欲亢进障碍筛查量表和性欲亢进行为后果量表确定性欲亢进组（HYP；n = 57）的成员。根据性欲/兴趣的两个指标的最高值确定高性欲组（HSD；n = 70）的成员。两组之间的重叠可以忽略不计（n = 4）。与样本的其他部分相比，HYP组的男性单身、并非完全异性恋、有宗教信仰、抑郁、容易产生性厌倦、经历药物滥用后果、对色情内容使用持负面态度以及对自己的性道德评价更负面的几率显著更高。相比之下，HSD组与对照组的差异仅在于对色情内容使用报告了更积极的态度。研究结果表明男性中HSD和HYP存在明显的现象学差异。简要讨论了研究结果的临床意义。
