Sex Addiction Self-Test
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.
If the answer to any of these questions was yes, then you or someone you love might have a sexual addiction.
