The objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of a therapeutic intervention model designed by the author to treat this disorder. Materials and Methods: A mixed-methods approach with a cross-sectional pretest-posttest design was used. Fifty subjects (25 men and 25 women) who sought help participated, divided equally between an experimental group and a control group. Ethnographic interviews and the standardized questionnaires Pathos, CSBI, Sast-R, and Stai (E-R) were used to measure severity, life interference, impulse control, and anxiety. Results: addiction negatively interferes with daily routines, generates anxiety, and acts as an escape from stress, regardless of age or social class. Both sexes showed similar symptoms, although women showed greater diffi culty in controlling impulses. The posttest phase revealed a highly signifi cant decrease in the severity of addiction following therapy. Conclusions: The study confi rms the effectiveness of the proposed program, demonstrating its utility in reducing anxiety, improving the ability to delay immediate gratifi cation, and decreasing compulsive sexual behavior as an escape mechanism. application/pdf eng Peertechz CC0 1.0 Universal http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Sexual addiction Compulsive sexual behavior Therapeutic intervention Impulse control Anxiety Mixed-methods approach Treatment effectiveness 6114 Psicología social 2.35 Psicología 2.35 Psicología / 4.05 Ciencias sociales Comportamiento sexual 4.05 Ciencias sociales.
