Abstract

Objective Sex addiction as a sexual concept is affected by social-cultural factors and needs to be studied in the context of each society. The purpose of this study was to examine what self-identified sex addicts think and feel about the causes of their addiction in their own words.Method Thirteen self-identified sex addicts participated in a semi-structured interview. They were asked to explain their feelings and motivations in regard to their problematic sexual behaviors. The data was analyzed though conventional qualitative content analysis.Results Analysis of the interviews revealed 222 codes which were summarized in 3 themes and 11 subthemes. Three themes were as follow: " personal related issues", "messy family" and "inattentiveness of the society about sex education".Conclusion when a society system neglects sexual issues and does not provide facilities and conditions for education and protection of people, parents and family play a pivotal role not only in providing a supportive and nurturing atmosphere but also in educating and monitoring of children and adolescents.

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.
