Abstract

Hyper sexuality is not a new phenomenon of social deviant. This problem is even more serious when there are many apps and social media facilities with a variety of functions and features that allowed users to engage in online sexual activity. This misbehaviour causes users to experience excessive sexual addiction that leads to hyper cyber sexual problems. Various studies on hyper sexuality have been conducted by scholars that included a variety of respondents' backgrounds. Similarly, various measurements have been developed to determine hypersexual levels. But as far as it fits in with the social media context, it remains questionable since hyper cyber sexual terminology has not been widely explored. Thus, this systematic review will be examining the measurement of online hypersexual that have been developed by scholars in the context of social media. The results showed that there were four studies have been developed on online hypersexual measurements. It is important to contextualize the findings that the needs to develop the comprehensive instrument related to hyper cyber sexual are crucial due to the increase of online sexual crimes that will be harming the values and social norm of the society.
