A recent study explores the complex relationship between ADHD and hypersexual behavior, finding that individuals with higher levels of ADHD symptoms are more likely to engage in hypersexual activities. Impulsivity, depressive symptoms, hypomanic symptoms, and signs of psychotic prodromes were identified as significant predictors of hypersexual behavior, with depressive symptoms largely mediating the relationship between ADHD and hypersexuality. The findings suggest that individuals with ADHD may use hypersexual activities as a means of coping with psychological distress, highlighting the need for further research in larger and more diverse samples.

Sexual narcissism and hypersexuality are linked to sexual coercion perpetration during college hookups, according to a study published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior. The research found that individuals with higher levels of sexual narcissism and hypersexuality were more likely to engage in sexual coercion after facing rejection during a hookup encounter. The study also revealed that sexual coercion was prevalent among both men and women, with no significant gender differences. The findings highlight the need for further research on risk factors and psychological mechanisms associated with sexual coercion in casual sexual relationships among college students.
