Carnes (cited in Rosenberg, O’Connor, & Carnes, 2014) proposed diagnostic criteria for sex addiction, including a minimum of three criteria met during a 12-month period: Recurrent failure to resist impulses to engage in specific sexual behavior; frequent engaging in these behaviors to a greater extent or longer duration than intended; persistent desire or unsuccessful efforts to stop, to reduce, or to control behaviors; inordinate amount of time spent in obtaining sex, being sexual, or recovering from sexual experiences; preoccupation with the behavior or preparatory activities; frequently engaging in the behavior when expected to fulfill occupational, academic, domestic, or social obligations; continuation of the behavior despite knowledge of having a persistent or recurrent social, financial, psychological, or physical problem that is caused or exacerbated by the behavior; need to increase intensity, frequency, number, or risk of behaviors to achieve the desired effect or diminished effect with continued behaviors at the same level of intensity, frequency, number, or risk; and giving up or limiting social, occupational, or recreational activities because of behavior, distress, anxiety, restlessness, or irritability if unable to engage in the behaviors, has significant personal and social consequences (such as loss of partner, occupation, or legal implications).
