Sexual Compulsives Anonymous

Sexual Compulsives Anonymous (SCA) is a twelve-step program for people who want to stop having compulsive sex.^[1]^[2] SCA founding is attributed variously to 1982 in New York City^[3] and to 1973 in Los Angeles.^[4] Although the fellowship originally sought to address issues of sexual compulsion among gay and bisexual men, and this is still the fellowships predominant demographic, today the program is LGBT friendly, open to all sexual orientations, and there is an increasing number of women and heterosexual men participating.^[5]^[6]^[7] SCA meetings are most likely to be held in urban areas with larger gay and bisexual male populations. The majority of members are white, but vary in age and socioeconomic background. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop having compulsive sex.^[5]^[6]^[8]
