Abstract

Günümüzde bağımlılık olgusunun sadece psikoaktif bir maddeden değil, bazı davranışların yarattığı haz ve rahatlama hissinden de kaynaklanabileceği bilinmektedir. Terapötik toplumda diğer davranışsal bağımlılıklara göre kabul edilmesi daha zor olan cinsel bağımlılık psikolojik bir rahatsızlıktır. Bağımlı bireyler ve çevrelerindeki kişiler üzerinde son derece yıkıcı etkilere sahiptir. Oysa 21. yüzyılda kompulsif cinsel davranışlar medikal bağlamda daha iyi anlaşılabilir ve bağımlı kişiler buna göre tedavi edilebilirdi. 2000’ler sonrası uluslararası alanyazında konuyla ilgili yapılan çalışmalar arttığı halde Türkiye’de cinsel bağımlılıkla ilgili neredeyse hiç çalışma yapılmamıştır. Bu sebeple bu çalışmada cinsel bağımlılık hakkında kapsamlı bir alanyazın taraması yapılmış ve elde edilen veriler belli bir çerçeve içinde sunulmuştur. Öncelikle cinsel bağımlılık rahatsızlığı açıklanmış, fenomenolojik özellikleri, karakteristikleri ve tanı kriterleri belirtilmiştir. Daha sonra alanyazındaki isimlendirme anlaşmazlıklarına, alternatif isim önerilerine ve sınıflandırılma sorunsalına, semptomolojisine, doğurduğu sonuçlar ve etkilerine, tedavi yöntemlerine, etiyolojisi ve etiyolojisine ilişkin yapılan çalışmalara yer verilmiştir. Etiyolojik çalışmalar kronolojik olarak 70’ler ve 80’ler, 90’lı yıllar ve 2000’ler ve sonrası olarak gruplandırılmış ve bu şekilde uluslararası alanyazında cinsel bağımlılık olgusuyla ilgili varolan verilere ilişkin gelişme ve ilerlemenin görülmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu bilgiler ışığında cinsel bağımlılığın Türkiye’de araştırılmasının gerekliliği tartışılmış ve önerilerde bulunulmuştur.

Abstract

In present day, it is known that addiction does not only derive from a psychoactive substance but also from the pleasure and relief after some behaviors. Sexual addiction, having always been more difficult to accept compared to other behavioral addictions in therapeutic societies, is a psychological disease. It has devastating effects on addicted individuals and the people around them. However, compulsive sexual behavior could be understood and addicted people could be treated accordingly in the 21. century. Studies regarding sexual addiction in the international literature after 2000s have increased but there are almost no studies on the issue in Turkey. This study reviews the related literature comprehensively and presents the data in a determined frame. It explains sexual addiction disorder and describes its phenomenological aspects, characteristics and diagnostic criteria. Next, it gives naming disagreements in the literature, alternative name suggestions, classification problem, symptomatology, consequences and impacts, etiology, and etiological researches.

It is aimed to demonstrate the scientific progress and improvement regarding sexual addiction phenomenon. In the light of this information, it is discussed that sexual addiction should be researched in Turkey, and suggestions are made accordingly.
