Compulsive Pornography Use Assessment (Based on ICD-11 Criteria)

For each question, answer with **Yes** or **No** based on your experiences over the past 6 months. If you answer "Yes" to several questions, you may be experiencing problematic use of pornography, and it could be helpful to seek further evaluation or professional help.

Loss of Control

Do you often feel unable to control your use of pornography, even when you try to cut down or stop?

Time Spent

Do you find that you spend excessive amounts of time watching or thinking about pornography, to the point where it interferes with other activities in your life (e.g., work, social interactions, family time)?

Preoccupation

Do you frequently experience strong urges or cravings to watch pornography, even at inappropriate times (e.g., at work, during social events)?

Impact on Responsibilities

Has your use of pornography caused you to neglect important responsibilities, such as work, school, or family obligations?

Negative Consequences

Despite experiencing negative consequences (e.g., relationship issues, work problems, or emotional distress), do you continue to use pornography?

Impact on Relationships

Has your pornography use negatively affected your relationships (e.g., creating conflict with a partner, reducing intimacy)?

Risky Use

Have you used pornography in situations where it was inappropriate or risky (e.g., at work, public places)?

Emotional Distress

Do you feel distressed, anxious, or irritable when you are unable to watch pornography?

Tolerance

Have you found that you need to watch more extreme or more frequent pornography to achieve the same level of satisfaction as when you first started using it?

Avoidance of Other Activities

Have you reduced or stopped participating in other activities (e.g., hobbies, social events) in favor of watching pornography?

Attempts to Stop

Have you tried multiple times to reduce or stop using pornography but have been unsuccessful?

Duration

Have these problems related to your pornography use persisted for at least 6 months?

YOU ANSWERED "YES" THE FOLLOWING AMOUNT OF TIMES: 13
If you answer **Yes** to **2 or more questions**, this suggests that your use of pornography may be problematic or compulsive.
A higher number of **Yes** answers, particularly to questions about negative consequences and loss of control, indicates a stronger likelihood of problematic pornography use.
Next Steps
If you answered **Yes** to 2 or more questions, it’s recommended to seek further evaluation with a mental health professional or addiction specialist who can help assess the extent of your issues with pornography and guide you toward appropriate treatment.
Rationale
This test is grounded in the **ICD-11 criteria for Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder (CSBD)**, which recognizes compulsive behaviors related to sexual activity, including pornography use, that cause significant distress or impairment in daily functioning. The questions reflect behaviors that align with compulsive use, loss of control, and negative consequences, which are key indicators of problematic pornography use according to the ICD-11.
