You may be wondering whether you are or are not a sex addict. This can be determined by a Certified Sexual Addiction Therapist, however; a first step would be to take this short questionnaire: Sexual Addiction Screening Test
If you scored a “6” or higher, you may have an unhealthy relationship with sex or porn. This does not mean that you are weak, bad, perverted or that you can not change any of these problematic behaviors. Your relationship with porn or sex may be unhealthy, however; the first step is to meet with a certified sex addiction therapist to determine how severe your sexual addiction may be. There is hope, many individuals can address their problematic sexual behavior in session. A good book to read while you work with an expert is called, Sex Addiction 101 by Dr. Robert Weiss if you want a holistic quick and informative book on digital and in-the flesh sexual addiction. If you are dealing with hook up apps, online porn, web cam sex, and mutual sex with strangers online, then a good book to read alongside your therapist would be Always Turned On by Dr. Robert Weiss.
