  b. Those with drugs or alcohol addictions tend to cause more emotional harm to their families than those who are addicted to sex.

Question 2

What is a major problem with how sexual addiction is diagnosed?
 
  a. Those who are classified as sexual addicts also tend to rate low on veracity, thus diminishing the reliability of the self-reports used for diagnosis.
  b. Plethysmographs used to monitor a male's penile blood flow in response to sexual stimuli are not sensitive enough to detect more subtle changes in sexual arousal, often leading to an underdiagnosis of sexual addiction.
  c. The sexual addiction screening test is ambiguous because of its open-ended questions, often leading to an overdiagnosis of sexual addiction.
  d. Sexual addiction is often diagnosed by the number of people a person has had sex with, thus ignoring many other important aspects of sexual compulsion.
