(2014) investigated the degree to which individuals within the general population (\n                    <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 435) express sexual interest in children. In the male population of their study (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 173), about 6% showed a propensity to engage in sexual activity with a child. Based on a German general population sample consisting of women and men (\n                    <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 911,\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 206 males), we were able to replicate most of the results of Wurtele and colleagues (e.g., 6% of men indicated some likelihood of having sex with a child). To explain sexual offending, Seto (2019) developed the motivation-facilitation model (MFM). In our study, we were interested whether this model also translates to explaining the propensity for deviant sexual behavior in the general population. Moderated hierarchical logistic regression analyses revealed that hypersexuality and sexual fantasies had significant effects as motivating factors for\n                    <jats:italic>deviant sexual behavior<\/jats:italic>\n                    (e.g., sexually assaulting an adult), whereas we found no significant effect of psychopathy as a facilitator. For the prediction of\n                    <jats:italic>child sexual abuse<\/jats:italic>\n                    , only hypersexuality had a significant effect. Notably, after including gender in both models the effect of hypersexuality was no longer significant. Accordingly, we were able to show that the MFM is useful in explaining the propensity for deviant sexual behavior foremost in the male general population. Thus, in clinical practice an assessment of hypersexuality seems to be most relevant for the male population.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/10790632241283752","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,14]],"date-time":"2024-09-14T01:18:28Z","timestamp":1726276708000},"page":"426-447","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["The Propensity for Deviant Sexual Behavior in the General Population: An Empirical Examination of the Motivation-Facilitation Model"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"37","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1710-348X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Robert J.
