sadness, fear, or anger?
- Are there times when your sexual urges, thoughts, or images
seem to control you?
- Do you find yourself looking for sexually arousing articles
or scenes in the media?
- Do your sexual thoughts about people make it difficult to fully
relate to them?
- Do you spend inordinate time thinking of sex?
- Do your sexual activities include the risk, threat, or reality
of disease, pregnancy, coercion, or violence?
- Have you been arrested or are you in danger of arrest because
of your sexual behavior?
- Do your sexual relationships interfere with your spiritual beliefs
or development?

If you answered yes to more than a few of these questions, I encourage
you to seek out additional literature, consult a therapist, or attend
a recovery meeting.
