Am I A Sex Addict?

Assess your behavior with our online tests

SAST

SEXUAL ADDICTION SCREENING TEST

The Sexual Addiction Screening Test (SAST) is designed to assist in the assessment of sexually compulsive behavior which may indicate the presence of sex addiction. Developed in cooperation with hospitals, treatment programs, private therapists, and community groups, the SAST provides a profile of responses which help to discriminate between addictive and non-addictive behavior. Before starting the assessment we need basic information in order to build your profile.

Please indicate gender:
Male   Female  
Indicate Orientation:
Heterosexual   Bi-sexual   Homosexual  

Please check any of the following which apply:
I have no concerns about my sexual behavior but am curious how I would score.
I have no concerns about my sexual behavior but others are concerned.
I am having problems with my sexual behavior but do not consider myself a "sex addict".
