These questions are intended to be only personally meditated upon for you own personal reflection and are intended to be completely private.
In reviewing each of these questions, guard against exaggerating and also guard against denying. The questions are intended to be thought provoking. A starting point where you can quietly gauge what you want to improve in with in your walk of purity and holiness. Answering the questions honestly will help you address any hungers or longings, concerning any unmet needs within yours or your heart. If you do not struggle with any heart lust or out of control behavior, it is vitally important that you too ponder each question so that you have clarity of the journey you are undertaking.
For married men, or young men living with others, if your wife, parents or roommates see this survey it could stir curiosity. Therefore, to keep these questions private, I suggest you do NOT give you answers out in any way. Some questions may not apply to you, so circle NA. (Not applicable)
