Sexual OCD Test: Intrusive Thoughts and Compulsive Checking

Take this sexual OCD test to explore patterns of intrusive thoughts, anxiety, compulsive checking, reassurance-seeking, and avoidance. This self-reflection quiz is not a diagnosis and does not replace professional evaluation.

Please answer based on your recent experience. Choose the option that best matches how often or how strongly each pattern shows up for you. This quiz is for self-reflection only, not diagnosis. Intrusive thoughts do not equal intention, desire, identity, or likelihood of action.
