Is my relationship with sex compulsive?
64 questions·10 min·5 dimensions·up to 14 clinical frameworks·5 report sections
Good morning,
This test looks at facts rather than at a word: “addict” circulates widely and explains little. It examines four aspects: the control that slips despite the intention to cut back, what it costs at work, with those close to you and in terms of health, the need to go further to obtain the same effect, and the state that follows. The report describes each of these aspects.
What you receive — a report written from your answers: what stands out, what sustains it, and where to start. This week, this month, later on.
How it is built — each axis is analyzed on its own, then cross-read with the others, through clinical reading frameworks. Your detailed answers are attached as an appendix. See an example report
The test runs over 64 questions and takes about 10 min, for a price of $3.60.
We'd also suggest reading the book The Practical CBT Guide, to take this reflection further. It's included in the price and downloadable.

QUICK ANSWER
Is my relationship with sex compulsive? — a 64-question self-assessment, about 10 min. This test looks at facts rather than at a word: control that slips, the cost in daily life, escalation, and the state that follows. Once finished, you receive a detailed PDF report ($3.60): your score on each of its 5 dimensions, a radar chart, up to 14 clinical reading frameworks and a personalized action plan. It is designed to help you know yourself better.
This test covers urges, control, tension, relief, desire, sexuality, concentration, time, work, secrecy, shame, guilt, mood, the relationship and readiness to change. What the test asks, for example Urges If an urge floods you even as you want to resist it. If your actions stay within the frame you set yourself. Control If you have tried to ease off, without it holding. If you can stop when you really decide to. Tension If a tension builds in you that only acting on it eases. If you live this area without any sense of compulsion. Relief If emptiness comes right after, rather than calm. If you have felt simply good, afterward. Desire If novelty is becoming hard to find. If you are at peace with what you have, seeking no more. Sexuality If you feel it is that doing the leading, and not you. If you are at peace with your sexuality. Concentration If the urge takes you over to the point of cutting your concentration. If your days pass without this occupying your head. Time If you spend far more time on it than you had planned. If the time it takes is missing from elsewhere. Work If your work or your studies have suffered for it. If you have dropped an obligation for it. Secrecy If you carry heavy secrets in this area. If shame stops you telling anyone. Shame If shame turns up once the moment has passed. If you get up the next day without bitterness. Guilt If you are your own harshest judge on this ground. If you live this without notable regret. Mood If your mood in the days that follow suffers for it. If your general mood stays steady. The relationship If this has threatened a bond that matters to you. If your relations with others remain untouched. Readiness to change If you want this to shift. If you believe you can move forward on this.
About this test

Dimensions assessed
- ●Loss of control- Do you find it hard to control your sexual behaviors despite a will to reduce or stop them? Loss of control — trying to change without succeeding — is a central dimension of a compulsive relationship with sexuality.
- ●Impact on daily life- Do your sexual behaviors affect your work, relationships, social life, or health? Impact on life domains is an important indicator of distress or dysfunction.
- ●Escalation- Do you need more frequent or more intense behaviors to feel the same effect? Escalation — the need for increasing intensity — may indicate a form of tolerance.
- ●Distress afterwards- Do you feel shame, guilt, or emptiness after sexual behaviors? Distress felt after — not during — is often one of the clearest signals of a problematic relationship with sexuality.
- ●Readiness to Change- Measures your current readiness to acknowledge what you are experiencing and to evolve your relationship with sexuality.
Reference frameworks and authors
- Problematic Pornography Consumption Scale (PPCS) — adapted (Bőthe et al., 2018)
This test is based on the criteria of Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder (WHO, ICD-11, code 6C72) and the Problematic Pornography Consumption Scale (PPCS, Bőthe et al., 2018). It is not a validated version: it broadens the scope to all compulsive sexual behaviors, not only pornography. The clinical category of 'sexual addiction' remains debated in the scientific literature.
This test explores your subjective experience of your relationship with sexuality. A high score does not establish a diagnosis of sexual dependence or addiction — that decision belongs to a healthcare professional. The category of 'sexual addiction' is still scientifically debated: some researchers recognize it, others contest it. This test does not settle that debate — it helps you look at what you are experiencing honestly, without judgment or verdict. If you are suffering from your relationship with sexuality, that suffering deserves attention, whatever its clinical category.
