Sexual Addiction Self Test

If you answer yes to some of the 30 questions below, you may have a sexual addiction problem. The more yes answers, the more likely the problem is. If you would like more information about getting professional help to determine if you have a sexual addiction problem, visit our treatment section.

Remember, this test is for your own benefit and not intended to provide any type of professional diagnosis.  You need to see a doctor for that.
