Abstract

This is a preliminary outcome study of an online recovery program for hypersexuality, with an emphasis on problematic pornography use and masturbation. The sample included 138 (M age = 37.97, SD = 12.40; 97% male; 86% European American) individuals enrolled in the Candeo online recovery program. The survey included questions regarding the helpfulness of other treatment options compared to Candeo, self-reports of various psychological and behavioral aspects of hypersexuality and recovery, and overall self-perceptions of the extent to which they had recovered prior to Candeo and currently. On average other treatments were rated as somewhat less helpful than Candeo. Participants showed significant improvements in all measured aspects of recovery when comparing retrospective and current ratings. All psychological aspects of recovery were correlated in the expected direction with current pornography use and masturbation. Further, changes in some psychological aspects of recovery were associated with changes in pornography use and masturbation. In short, evidence was found for the potential utility of online psychoeducational programs such as Candeo for aiding recovery from problematic pornography viewing and masturbation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
