Abstract
The present study examines differences in cybersex behavior related to gender and sexual orientation. Data were from 4,492 individuals being treated for sexual addiction, including 3,561 heterosexual men, 164 homosexual men, 131 bisexual men, 429 heterosexual women,18 homosexual women, and 61 bisexual women. Measures included the Sexual Dependency Inventor -Revised (SDI-R; Carnes & Delmonico, 1996) and the Sexual Addiction Screening Test-Revised (SAST-R; Carnes, Green & Carnes, 2010). Similarities and differences across genders and sexual orientations are reported. Multiple regression results demonstrated a general pattern in which isolative sex behaviors predicted more Internet use and relational sex behaviors predicted less use. © 2012 Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.
