Sex addiction is a compulsive need to have sexual contact despite negative consequences and frequent sexual obsessions. Even in the face of losing friends and family, or contracting sexual diseases, a sex addict may feel unable to take control. Often, sex addicts can have other addictions and/or mental health disorders that fuel the problem.
Do you or a loved one have a sex addiction? Explore the questions in the sex addiction self test and honestly answer yes or no to the following:
I have tried to control sexual impulses, but can’t.
My sexual behavior has created problems for people close to me.
I hide my sexual behavior from others.
I have often felt depressed, guilty, and/or ashamed after sex.
Sex is constantly on my mind.
Sex (or romantic fantasies) is way to escape from problems.
Sex has become the most important thing in life.
I need prostitutes and/or escorts to satisfy my sexual needs.
I have unsafe or “risky” sex despite the consequences.
Emotional closeness is difficult.
I use drugs or alcohol to cover my pain.
I have felt suicidal.
