About This Porn Triggers Quiz
Most relapses don't come out of nowhere. They follow the same situations again and again: a hard day, an empty evening, a night alone with your phone. This free quiz finds which situations lead you to porn most, so you can plan for them before they happen.
It takes about two minutes. You answer 12 short statements, and you get your trigger profile, your biggest trigger, the one that rarely affects you, and three steps to deal with the biggest one.
The Six Triggers This Quiz Checks
- Stress. Porn is how you switch off after pressure.
- Boredom. Empty time is when porn finds you.
- Loneliness. Porn fills the gap where people should be.
- Low mood. You use porn to feel better, and it leaves you worse.
- Late nights. Tired, in bed, phone in hand: that is your danger zone.
- Feeds and images. Your feeds lead you there before you decide anything.
How the Quiz Is Scored
Every statement is answered on the same scale, from Never to Almost always. Each trigger has two statements, and its score is shown as a percentage. The highest is your biggest trigger and the lowest is your strongest ground. If every trigger scores the same, the quiz tells you no single one stands out.
Why Knowing Your Trigger Helps
An urge feels sudden, but it usually starts with a situation you can name. Once you know yours, you can change the situation instead of fighting the urge at its strongest. Someone triggered by late nights needs a different plan from someone triggered by stress.

Whatever Your Trigger, Take Porn Out of Reach
A plan helps, but when an urge is strong, plans get skipped. QuitPorn blocks porn on your iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows and Mac until the date you choose, and nobody can end it early. The trigger still comes, but porn isn't there when it does. See plans and pricing.
