Our method
This questionnaire is not a medical diagnosis. It is built on the clinical criteria used by healthcare professionals to identify addictive behaviours, adapted to the context of digital and pornographic dependencies.
We assess four documented dimensions: the frequency and intensity of consumption, the ability to voluntarily regulate the behaviour, the impact on daily life (relationships, work, sleep, self-esteem), and the presence of withdrawal symptoms (irritability, anxiety when not consuming). These criteria are aligned with those used by behavioural addiction specialists in Switzerland and France.
Each answer contributes to an overall score. Questions about loss of control, failed attempts to stop and impact on real life carry more weight than frequency questions alone. The final score determines which of the three profiles best matches your current situation.
Your answers are not stored on our servers. No tracking cookie is associated with the questionnaire. The email address is optional and is never linked to your answers. This test is designed to help you find your bearings — not to give us information about you.
This questionnaire was designed based on the work of the JAMES 2024 study (ZHAW), the UNIL 2025 study on pornography in French-speaking Switzerland, and the diagnostic criteria for behavioural addictions from the HUG (Geneva University Hospitals).
Your answers indicate consumption that stays within reasonable limits. You seem able to regulate your use without major difficulty. Your prefrontal cortex is still fully playing its regulating role. That's good news.
Your dopamine baseline is probably preserved. You still feel pleasure in ordinary activities. Your attention and concentration are not significantly affected. You can stop when you decide to.
Staying informed is the best prevention. Understanding dopamine mechanisms will help you maintain this balance, especially if your environment or life situation changes. Periods of stress, breakups or isolation are when compulsive behaviours take hold most easily.
Your answers reveal patterns that can gradually take hold without you noticing. You are not in a situation of established dependency, but certain signals indicate that your brain has begun to adapt to higher levels of stimulation. At this stage, simple adjustments can make a big difference.
Your tolerance to stimulation has probably increased slightly. Your prefrontal cortex is regularly called on to resist impulses, which gradually tires it. Some ordinary activities may feel less satisfying than before. You have tried to cut back, but regulation is not yet automatic.
Acting now is far simpler than acting in six months. Friction strategies, restructuring your digital environment and 30 days of follow-up are enough in the vast majority of cases at this stage. You don't need professional help — but you do need a system.
Before it gets harder. A structured system, week by week, with concrete tools to recalibrate your brain.
What you are going through has a precise neurological name. It is not a character flaw, it is not a lack of willpower, and it is not inevitable. Your reward circuit has adapted to artificially high levels of stimulation, and your prefrontal cortex struggles to regulate these impulses. It's documented, it's reversible — and you are not alone.
Your dopamine baseline has very likely dropped. Ordinary activities generate less satisfaction than before. Willpower alone is no longer enough at this stage — it's neurological, not moral. A structured 30 to 90-day reset can recalibrate these circuits. In some cases, professional support is recommended as a complement.
Start by putting a technical blocking system in place today — not tomorrow. Then follow a structured program that introduces changes gradually. If you are experiencing significant psychological distress, a healthcare professional can support you in parallel.
Our book Dopaminergies explains exactly what is happening in your brain and supports you step by step, from the first day of awareness through to long-term maintenance.
