1. Do you look, fantasize, or dream in lustful ways? What specifically triggers fantasy in you?
2. Do you “drink” on fantasies or memories when they come up? That is, do you consciously dwell on them, get a hit off of them, nourish them, let them continue to play?
3. Does an irresistible impulse arise when confronted by whatever your triggers may be? That is, when trigger material appears, such as in real life or in any of the media, do you continue with it or turn aside?
4. Do you deliberately seek out images/people to drink on?
5. Does fear strike when encountering a trigger image/person? [If so, why?]
6. Do you resort to other images, memories, or fantasies during marital sex?
7. Do you have erotic dreams? How often?
