If you’re interested in finding out whether your behavior could be as the result of a sexual addiction, you can always take the Sexual Addiction Screening Test (SAST), which is designed to assist in the assessment of sexually-compulsive behavior. The SAST was developed in cooperation with hospitals, treatment programs, private therapists, and community groups, and can help to distinguish between addictive and non-addictive behavior. Regardless of how you score on the SAST, you should always consult with a trained professional for diagnosis and treatment. This assessment is strictly designed to help you decide whether you should seek further help. You can access the test here.
If you are tired of dealing with the cycle of shame and self-loathing that is common with sexual addiction, there is hope. Your behavior doesn’t have to own you anymore. The fact that you’re exploring this topic shows that you want to do different. Let a professional know your behaviors and let them know you took the SAST and have concerns.
