4. Have you ever fantasized, obsessed or worried about someone else's sexual problems?
5. Have you ever made threats to others or promises to yourself ("If this happens again, I'll leave.") that you did not carry out?
6. Have you ever tried to control somebody else's sexual thoughts or behavior by doing things like throwing away pornography, dressing suggestively, or being sexual with them in order to keep them from being sexual with others?

8. Have you often lied to others or made excuses to yourself about another person's sexual conduct?

12. Have you ever though about or attempted suicide because of someone else's sexual behavior?
13. Have you often used sex in order to have peace in the family or smooth over problems?
14. Does sex (for example, thinking about it, doing it, talking about it or worry about it) play an all-consuming role in the relationship?
15. Have you ever felt abandoned emotionally because of your partner's use of pornography or masturbation?
16. Have you ever helped someone get out of jail or other legal trouble as a result of his or her sexual behavior, or feared this kind of thing could happen?
17. Have you often thought that the sexaholic's behavior was caused by other people, such as friends or sexual partners? by society in general? by his/her job, religion, or birth family?
