just because it's bound to be talked about...sex addiction isn't in the DSM-5

6. I think discussion of hypersexuality is complicated

I don't claim to have a handle on that.

Among other things, there seems to be varying points of view about how the role of differing motivations and the quest for gratification from the behaviors divide behavioral disorders into different groupings. One might think nuance in diagnosis would be a good thing, but social judgment/social tolerance tends to divide strongly on the values of such nuance.

Compulsions are spoken of as drives to reduce anxiety, impulsivity is spoken of as response to arousal. It seems some professionals treat these as diacritically opposed and some view them as components blended to different degree. With respect to culpability compulsions are viewed as being very difficult to rein in or beyond conscious control, while impulsive behaviors are spoken of as being void of any forethought of consequences and free of effort to control (the acts are thoughtless and reckless).
