If you question whether your pornography use is a problem, compulsive or addictive, here are some questions that may help you determine if help is needed.
• Do you sense that your sexual thoughts and/or behaviors are causing problems in your life?
• Have sexual thoughts interfered with your ability to function at work or at school?
• Do you sometimes think that you are the only person who has certain sexual thoughts or engages in certain sexual behaviors?
• Do you fail to meet commitments or fail to carry out responsibilities because of your involvement with pornography?
• Do you struggle to control or completely stop your thinking about or viewing pornography?
• Do you view pornography in order to escape, deny, or numb your feelings?
• Do you think about sex more than you would like to?
• Have you ever promised yourself that you would never again view pornography?
• Do you use pornography to deal with, deny, or avoid problems in your life?
• Do your sexual thoughts and/or behaviors interfere with your spiritual or religious life?
• Have you lost a job or risked losing a job because of your involvement with pornography?
If you answered yes to any of these statements you may benefit from discussing it with your parents, bishop or a professional counselor
