Pornography Dependency Syndrome/

Pornography Addiction

Assessment

This is a quick unscientific questionnaire that may help someone to identify themselves as addicted to sex or suffering from sexual dependency syndrome.   

1. Are you hiding the fact that you are using pornography from your partner?
 
2. Are you using pornography as a physical or an emotional substitute for sex your partner?
 
3. Is porn taking up a significant amount of the free time in your life to the detriment of other things that are more important to you?
 
Answering yes to any one of these questions identifies a significant risk that should be diagnosed and handled by a professional.

 Watch for more on this topic.  There are ways to help.
