RESULTS
• If you answered YES to less than 3 questions, you're not porn addicted, but remain vigilant because it can catch you unawares very quickly!
• If you answered YES to more than 5 questions, you are a potential porn addict. Please acknowledge it now and speak about it to your partner, a friend or a psychiatrist.
• If you answered YES more than 15 questions, you are totally addicted and it's time to seek a cure before your partner leaves you and all your friends shun you. Even if you cheat, appearing detached and lying to yourself, the situation will become intolerable for yourself and others involved.
