Am I a Sex Addict?

PATHOS stands for the six assessment questions:

Preoccupied
Do you often find yourself preoccupied with sexual thoughts?

Ashamed
Do you hide some of your sexual behavior from others?

Treatment
Have you ever sought therapy for sexual behavior you did not like?

Hurt others
Has anyone been hurt emotionally because of your sexual behavior?

Out of control
Do you feel controlled by your sexual desire?

Sad
When you have sex, do you feel depressed afterwards?

A positive response to just one of the six questions would indicate a need for additional assessment with a certified sex addiction therapist. Two or more are considered to certainly need an additional assessment with a certified sex addiction therapist. Contact us here.
