Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Addiction to sex on the Internet has a very high prevalence and incidence among young males. For this demographic, this is the most likely manifestation of a sexual addiction than multiple sexual partners. Unwanted sexual touching is a pathological assessment finding but does not necessarily indicate sexual addiction.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
The client's erectile dysfunction (sexual dysfunction) is associated with the negative tone of sexual teaching that he received in his family of origin. Teaching was apparently not absent, and lack of fulfillment is the consequence, not the cause, of his problem.
