Private Self-Assessment
This private assessment helps you understand whether pornography has become harder to control, more costly, or more entrenched than you realised.
It is not about shaming you. It is not about forcing a label. It is about clarity.
Answer honestly. There are no trick questions. If you are unsure about a question, go with your first instinct.
Control and pattern
Have you tried to stop or cut back and found it harder than expected?
Do you return to it even after deciding you would not?
Do you find yourself using it at times or in ways you did not intend to?
Has this pattern become more frequent, more automatic, or harder to interrupt over time?
Cost and impact
Has it affected your focus, energy, or motivation?
Has it affected your relationships, intimacy, or ability to move toward the kind of relationship you want?
Do you feel differently about yourself because of this pattern?
Do you keep this part of your life secret from people close to you?
Emotional and behavioural patterns
Do you tend to use pornography when you are stressed, bored, lonely, tired, flat, or upset?
Do you regularly spend more time on it than you intended?
Has the type of content you seek changed or escalated over time?
Do you often feel worse about yourself afterwards?

Your Results
You do not need to settle a perfect label before deciding to change something that is costing you.
