A Surprising Finding Related to Executive Control in a Patient Sample of Hypersexual Men

These results contradict a previous finding of executive deficits among hypersexual men measured by self‐report. The lack of executive deficits suggests that this population may exhibit domain‐specific aspects of impulsivity, poor judgment, and risky behavior that are not generalizable to other domains of life. Furthermore, our findings fail to support a conceptualization of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition, proposed hypersexual disorder based on models of executive dysfunction.
