I can't stress enough how concerned i am about the forensic implications the sex addiction/hypersexual disorder concept. Judges an lawyers around the world have been inundated by a popular media that has accepted the sex addiction concept, and thus this hogwash has crept into the courtroom. In Raleigh NC, this year, Jason Williford avioided the death penalty for rape and murder, based in part on a defense of sex addiction. Sex addiction "experts" provided testimony that could not have stood up to a Daubert challenge. Judges are ordering men into sex addiction treatment, even though there is NO evidence that this treatment is anything more than placebo or snake oil. I truly encourage clinicians such as yourself to challenge these claims whenever they can, and if I may be of assistance, please feel free to contact me.
