Despite the growing body of research linking compulsive sexual behavior to substance addictions, significant gaps in understanding continue to complicate classification of compulsive sexual behaviour as an addiction. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM The release of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-5) (1) altered addiction classifications.
What's Risky Sex?
DSM-IV and DSM-5 Criteria for Substance Use Disorders. a One or more abuse criteria within a 12-month period and no dependence diagnosis; applicable to all substances except nicotine, for which DSM-IV abuse criteria were not given.. b Three or more dependence criteria within a 12-month period.. c Two or more substance use disorder criteria within a 12-month period.

ICD-10 | High risk sexual behavior (Z72. 5)
Compulsive sexual behavior is sometimes called hypersexuality, hypersexuality disorder or sexual addiction. It's an excessive preoccupation with sexual fantasies, urges or behaviors that is difficult to control, causes you distress, or negatively affects your health, job, relationships or other parts of your life.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM F52. 8 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of F52.
R37 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM R37 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of R37 - other international versions of ICD-10 R37 may differ.
People are typically characterized as hypersexual when their desire for sexual interactions interferes with everyday life. For example, people who engage in risky sexual behavior, such as paying for sex, or consume pornography excessively to satiate sexual desires are sometimes characterized as hypersexual.
Paraphilias are persistent and recurrent sexual interests, urges, fantasies, or behaviors of marked intensity involving objects, activities, or even situations that are atypical in nature.
Pornography addiction—along with sex addiction—isn't an official diagnosis recognized by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health Disorders (DSM). That means there's no definitive porn addiction criteria to guide mental health professionals in diagnosing it.
Porn addiction is not a diagnosis in DSM-5 (or any previous version). "Viewing pornography online" is mentioned verbatim in the DSM-5, but it is not considered a mental disorder either.
DSM-5 also lists 'other specified sexual dysfunction' as F52. 8 13. This diagnosis may thus be used for hypersexual disorder.
Women with sexual interest/arousal disorder have little or no interest in sex and do not respond subjectively or physically to sexual stimulation. The decrease in interest and ability to be sexually aroused is greater than what might be expected based on a woman's age and the relationship duration.
