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.
