Sex and porn addiction test: twelve private questions

A free, private sex and porn addiction test: twelve questions informed by the SAST-R. Not a diagnosis. Your answers stay on this page unless you send them.

Skip ahead to the questions ↓

CSBD means compulsive sexual behavior disorder: a persistent pattern of failing to control sexual urges or behavior, over six months or more, that causes real distress or impairment. The clinical guide explains the term in full. This screener is informed by the SAST-R and the ICD-11 criteria; it is not the SAST-R, the CSBI (Compulsive Sexual Behavior Inventory), or any other validated instrument, which are administered at a clinical assessment.

Twelve yes-or-no questions. Two to three minutes. Results are informational, not diagnostic. If you decide to reach out, admissions will answer your questions and set up a clinical intake with our team.

This screener is informed by the clinical domains that appear in the SAST-R (Carnes, 2010) and in the ICD-11 criteria for Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder (6C72). It is not a diagnostic instrument. Only a licensed clinician can render a diagnosis. If you are in crisis, call or text 988.

A way for our clinical team to reach you.

Read the terms before you send your details

Informational only. This twelve-item screener is informed by the SAST-R (Carnes, 2010) and the ICD-11 criteria for Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder (6C72). It is not a diagnostic instrument. Only a licensed clinician can render a clinical diagnosis. Your result is a starting point for a conversation, not a verdict.

Not a crisis service. Iron Ridge Recovery is not a crisis line or emergency provider. If you are in a mental health crisis or considering harm to yourself or others, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or dial 911.

How your information is used. Your name, email, phone, responses, and score are submitted to Iron Ridge Recovery LLC (Austin, Texas) for the sole purpose of following up with a confidential clinical intake conversation. Your information is received directly by Ian Birdwell, LPC, CSAT and our intake coordinator. We do not sell it, share it with advertising networks, forward it to lead brokers, or disclose that you contacted us to your insurance carrier or employer without your written authorization, except where required by law.

Retention and deletion. We retain your submission until you request deletion. Email intake@ironridgerecovery.com with the subject “Delete my information” at any time. We will confirm deletion within ten business days.

Withdrawing contact. You may decline further contact at any time by replying STOP to any message, by emailing intake@ironridgerecovery.com, or by telling our clinical team.

No therapist-client relationship. Completing this assessment or submitting your details does not create a therapist-client relationship, does not constitute the practice of psychotherapy, and does not obligate you to enter treatment. Clinical records created if you later become a client are covered separately under HIPAA and our Notice of Privacy Practices, which is provided at intake.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a porn addiction test?

Yes. The twelve questions cover pornography as well as other sexual behavior, so it works as a private porn addiction test or quiz. It is a screening, not a diagnosis, and your answers stay on the page unless you choose to send them.

Is the CSBD self-assessment confidential?

Yes. It is a self-guided screening tool. It is not a diagnosis and it is not a substitute for clinical assessment.

Can a self-assessment diagnose CSBD?

No. Only a clinical assessment by a qualified clinician can do that. A screening tool indicates whether a clinical conversation is worth having.

How long does the self-assessment take?

A few minutes.

What happens after I complete it?

You see your result. Whether you do anything with it is entirely your decision — there is no obligation to make contact.

What if my results suggest I should get help?

Call (512) 877-8616, answered live by our team Monday to Friday, 8am to 9pm Central, or request a confidential consult. The call is a clinical conversation rather than a sales call.

Out-of-network. Private pay, out-of-network billing to your PPO, or a superbill you submit yourself. Nothing goes to your insurer unless you choose.
