Can anyone give studies that, if they exist, prove that sexual deprivation leads to sexual deviancy in later stages of life?

Personality Theories Seidman and colleagues(1994) examined loneliness/intimacy problems regarding sexual offenders which suggested lack of social skills created intimacy problems
Bowlby (1988) which suggested people may take part in forms of sexual abuse as a result of loneliness/isolation which sexual deprivation is a by-product of
Cognitive Theories (Scott & Lyman, 1968; Scully, 1990; Sykes & Matza, 1957)
Note: personality theory(Sigmund Freud) tend to lack empirical evidence as pointed out by (Stinson, Sales & Becker, 2008)

$\begingroup$ Do you have studies that particularly deal with voluntary celibacy and abstinence too? $\endgroup$ Commented Jul 29, 2021 at 22:24

$\begingroup$ As for "sexual offender treatment programs" mentioned in your link, they are totally ineffective. (See psychology.stackexchange.com/q/19112/7604) $\endgroup$ Commented Jul 30, 2021 at 5:05
