Your Results* This field is required.(0-3): The symptoms found to be true may be an area of concern. You may want to consider openly discussing this with a “safe” friend or family member. There is no immediate need for you to enter into counseling or a support group. (4-10): Consultation with a professional can be helpful in deciding if you have a sexual addiction problem. Based on your responses, you may benefit by seeking help from appropriate resources such as a life coach or support group or a counseling professional that is knowledgeable about addiction and addiction-related issues. You may consider learning more about sexual addiction before coming to a conclusion on whether to begin counseling or a support group. (11-13): Scoring within this range may mean that you have done some things you regret or it may mean that you are in early stage addiction. Based on your responses, you would benefit by seeking help from appropriate resources such as a sexual addiction recovery support group or a counseling professional that is knowledgeable about addiction and addiction-related issues. (14-25): Your answers parallel those of sex addicts. A high score indicates the presence of a sexual addiction and a need to further explore this area with a professional clinician and/or enter into a sexual addiction recovery support group.

14 or more "yes" answers indicates an active addiction. Please consult professional help.
