This video answers the question: What is the relationship between Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and sexual compulsivity (sexually compulsive behavior, compulsive sexual behavior, sex addiction, hypersexuality, promiscuity)? Sexual compulsivity is a lack of control of sexual behavior and using sexual behavior to cope with emotions. It has been associated with many negative consequences including: an increased risk of sexually transmitted infection, disruption of functioning, the consumption of time and energy. Sexual compulsivity is not currently listed as a disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM).
Borderline personality disorder is a Cluster B personality disorder in the DSM. It is a cluster B personality disorder, so it's in the same cluster as antisocial, narcissistic, and histrionic personality disorders. The prevalence of borderline personality disorder in the general population is about 1% and there are a lot of studies with a lot of different prevalence figures, but overall it seems like 1% is reasonable in terms of a guess. In terms of gender prevalence, here we're not really sure. There are research studies that indicate that the prevalence is about equal between the genders, so roughly the same number of men are affected as women, but most studies indicate that more females would have borderline personality disorder. In the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM), we see nine symptom criteria for borderline personality disorder and five have to be met for a diagnosis. The symptom criteria include frantic efforts to avoid abandonment, unstable relationships, identity disturbance, impulsivity in two areas that are potentially selfdamaging, suicidal behavior, affective instability, chronic feelings of emptiness, inappropriate or intense anger or difficulty controlling anger, and paranoid ideation or dissociation.
