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:
  1. I have tried to control sexual impulses, but can’t.
  2. My sexual behavior has created problems for people close to me.
  3. I hide my sexual behavior from others.
  4. I have often felt depressed, guilty, and/or ashamed after sex.
  5. Sex is constantly on my mind.
  6. Sex (or romantic fantasies) is way to escape from problems.
  7. Sex has become the most important thing in life.
  8. I need prostitutes and/or escorts to satisfy my sexual needs.
  9. I have unsafe or “risky” sex despite the consequences.
  10. Emotional closeness is difficult.
  11. I use drugs or alcohol to cover my pain.
  12. 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.
