Female Sexual Addiction Screening Test

The WSAT (Women’s Sexual Addiction Screening Test) questions are designed to be used as guidelines to identifying possible signs of sex addiction in women. They are not intended to provide a sure-fire method of diagnosis, nor can negative answers to these questions provide absolute assurance that the condition is not present. Many female sex addicts and female love addicts have varying patterns which can result in very different ways of approaching and answering these questions. Answer each question and read the information below about your score.
