What is a major problem with how "sexual addiction" is diagnosed?
a. Those who are classified as sexual addicts also tend to rate low on veracity, thus diminishing the reliability of the self-reports used for diagnosis.
b. Plethysmographs used to monitor a male's penile blood flow in response to sexual stimuli are not sensitive enough to detect more subtle changes in sexual arousal, often leading to an underdiagnosis of sexual addiction.
c. The "sexual addiction screening test" is ambiguous because of its open-ended questions, often leading to an overdiagnosis of sexual addiction.
d. Sexual addiction is often diagnosed by the number of people a person has had sex with, thus ignoring many other important aspects of sexual compulsion.
