Abstract
Objective We explored men’s subjective experiences of hypersexuality, including the underlying factors they believed contributed to their sexuality. Methods: We interviewed 32 Canadian men with self-reported concerns related to hypersexuality. Interviews were analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis and narrative analysis. Results: Participants’ (hyper)sexual experiences revealed complex histories of desire, life disruptions, and hopes to re-story their sexual lives. Similar (sexual and non-sexual) desires were often attributed to different expressions of hypersexuality. Conclusion: Assessment and treatment protocols for hypersexuality should account for the social and cultural factors that shape sexuality, and the broader field of desire extending beyond just sexual forms.
