1. An inability to stop the behavior(s) and P0*n use despite previous attempts to do so
Do you feel like you are no longer the one in charge – the compulsion is stronger than your will power?
2. Anger or irritability if asked to stop
Would you feel defensive or angry if you were asked to decrease or quit your P0*n use?
3. Hiding all or a portion of P0*n use
Do you live a double or secret live related to your P0*n use? Do you justify and rationalize your p****graphy use?
4. Continuing the behavior despite obvious consequences, such as a relationship or job loss
How hard would it be to give up P0*n if a job, marriage, relationship, or friendship were in jeopardy?
5. Getting lost while using P0*n (i.e., spending more time than intended, losing track of time). How often do you totally lose track of time when viewing P0*n? How often to you spend more time than you intended? (Once I start, I just want to go on and on.)
6. p****graphy consumes thoughts – constant fantasies about it
Is your p****graphy use a high priority in your life?
7. Significant emotional distance from those around you and an inability to be emotionally intimate in real-life relationships. Emotionally, are you more attached to the fantasy world of P0*n than the challenging world around you? Would you rather look at P0*n than be with friends or family?
8. Having to look at more and more p****graphy for the same thrill you used to get
Are you looking at things and doing things which you used to think you’d never do?
9. Using P0*n as a way to cope with life stresses
Do you turn to P0*n as a way to cope with stress, anger, loneliness, boredom, or feelings of low self-esteem?
10. Rough or demanding when you engage in s*x or are emotionally distant during s*x. Are you critical of your partner’s appearance, implying they aren’t sexy enough. Are you fundamentally angry or frustrated with relationships, s*x and intimacy in the ‘real world’? Is the world or P0*n where you’re most comfortable?
