The analysis

The retrieved literature consistently supports the premise that personal distress, negative consequences, and functional impairment are central criteria for classifying problematic or compulsive sexual behaviors (such as CSBD) as disorders. High-frequency sexual behavior alone, without these impairments, does not meet the diagnostic threshold for an addiction or disorder.
