Abstract：
The aim of with this brief report is to examine how the COVID-19 pandemic differentially impacted solitary sexual behaviors in those with and without clinically significant compulsive sexual behavior (CSB). A total of 944 individuals in the United States completed an online cross-sectional survey in October 2020. Participants were asked to retrospectively report their frequency of masturbation and pornography use during the pandemic and prior to the pandemic. Participants also completed assessments of CSB, depression symptoms, and experiences of financial stress caused by the pandemic. Individuals who screened positive for clinically significant CSB reported statistically significant increases in masturbation and pornography use during the pandemic. Those who screened negative for CSB reported no significant increase in masturbation and a very small, statistically significant increase in pornography use. Those screening positive for CSB also reported significantly higher levels of depression symptoms but did not report increased likelihood of experiencing financial distress due to the pandemic. This suggests that increases in masturbation and pornography use reported by some, but not all, recent studies on sexual behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic may be driven by individuals with CSB. Future research on sexual behaviors during the pandemic should assess CSB to further clarify its relationship with sexual behavior changes.
摘要：
这份简短报告的目的是研究COVID-19大流行如何对有和没有临床上明显的强迫性行为（CSB）的人的单独性行为产生不同的影响。2020年10月，美国共有944人完成了一项在线横断面调查。参与者被要求回顾性报告他们在大流行期间和大流行之前手淫和色情制品使用的频率。参加者还完成了CSB的评估，抑郁症状,以及大流行造成的财务压力的经验。对临床上显着的CSB进行筛查呈阳性的个体报告说，在大流行期间，手淫和色情制品的使用在统计学上显着增加。那些对CSB呈阴性的人报告手淫没有显着增加，并且非常小，色情使用的统计显着增加。CSB筛查呈阳性的人也报告了抑郁症状水平明显更高，但没有报告由于大流行而经历财务困境的可能性增加。这表明一些人报告的手淫和色情使用增加，但不是全部,最近对COVID-19大流行期间性行为的研究可能是由CSB患者驱动的。大流行期间性行为的未来研究应评估CSB，以进一步阐明其与性行为变化的关系。
