Give yourself one point for each statement you marked "true".

  • If your score is 19 or above, it is very likely that you have a problem with your online sex-related activities.
  • Scoring between 9 and 19 could indicate that you have some behaviors that may be problematic or that will eventually become problematic.

Important: This is a screening test and not a diagnostic test. Higher scores, however, should prompt you to learn more about your behavior and your reasons for using the Net for sexual activities.
