Wondering if you’re addicted to porn? Take this quick, industry-standard quiz to get your answer.

Problematic Pornography Consumption Scale
The Problematic Pornography Use Scale (PPCS) is a self-report tool that evaluates a person's pornographic consumption and any potential detrimental effects. The elements in the scale measure how frequently pornography is consumed, how it affects a person's relationships and daily life, and how troubled they may feel as a result of their pornographic use. Numerous research studies have employed the PPCS to evaluate problematic pornography use and the potential harm it may cause to people.
Based on Bothe, et al., The Development of the Problematic Pornography Consumption Scale (PPCS), The Journal of Sex Research, published online 06 Mar 2017 (available at http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00224499.2017.1291798).
Directions: answer each question on a scale of 1-7 where 1=Strongly Disagree and 7=Strongly Agree
Problematic Porn Consumption Scale

Sobriety is cheap. Sustainability is everything. In The Sexual Integrity Workbook, esteemed professor and clinician Blair P. Bisher offers a blueprint for those seeking to overcome problematic sexual behaviors for the rest of their lives.
30+ new tools, exercises, sobriety plans, check-ins and reflection check-points to reinforce learning and promote personal growth.
Drawing from his extensive experience and research, Bisher presents a meticulously crafted 14-item curriculum designed to guide readers through the complexities of sexual addiction, porn addiction and adjacent problematic sexual behavior to land at a place of self-expertise where the individual can explain to themselves and their partners how destructive behavior patterns were offering a solution for them despite the consequences.
This solution-focused workbook not only unravels the root causes of such behaviors but also empowers individuals with practical tools and strategies to achieve lasting freedom – to be certain, not hopeful, that the future will be different and trust can be restored in their lives and relationships. Each chapter delves into critical aspects of sustainable sobriety, from understanding the addiction cycle, what underlying needs have yet to be resolved, resolved the public/private personality split that often occurs, helping the individual answer the question, “How could you do this?” and equally important, “How can I trust you again?”
Bisher's empathetic, empowering and person-centered approach ensures that readers feel supported and humanized throughout their journey. This book includes over 30 new tools and exercises as well as daily check-ins and reflection check-points to reinforce learning and promote personal growth between sessions. Whether you're personally struggling with sexual addiction, porn addiction, infidelity, other problematic sexual behavior or you are supporting a loved one on their path to recovery, "The Sexual Integrity Workbook" offers invaluable insights and guidance.
Embark on a transformative journey towards a life of integrity, purpose, and genuine connection.
