Few studies, however, have examined how mental health varies across the continuum of sexual orientation. Nor has any study examined possible links between sexual orientation and traits of impulsivity and compulsivity, which contribute to functional impairment across a broad spectrum of psychiatric disorders. To address these limitations, the present study sought to identify addictive and impulsive\/compulsive problems associated with sexuality in a university sample.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1092852918001591_sec2\" sec-type=\"methods\"><jats:title>Methods.<\/jats:title><jats:p>A 156-item anonymous survey was distributed via email to 9449 students at a public university in the United States.
