What This Kink Test Explores
“Kink” usually means intimate interests that go beyond what a culture treats as conventional. Research suggests these interests are far more common than people assume. A 2017 study by Christian Joyal and Julie Carpentier surveyed a representative sample of adults in Québec and found that nearly half reported interest in at least one unconventional sexual activity.
This quiz does not measure anything clinical. It sorts preferences into eight broad, non-explicit styles so you can reflect on what appeals to you and talk about it with a partner.
| Style | What it centres on |
|---|---|
| The Leader | Guiding and setting the pace |
| The Follower | Letting a trusted partner lead |
| The Switch | Enjoying both roles |
| The Sensualist | Touch, atmosphere and closeness |
| The Explorer | Variety and new experiences |
| The Storyteller | Roleplay and shared fantasy |
| The Teaser | Anticipation and playful power games |
| The Romantic Classic | Familiar, loving intimacy |
How It Works
You rate 24 statements, three per style. Each style gets a percentage, and the highest one is your strongest style. Most people score moderately on several styles, so look at the whole set of bars, not just the top one.
Consent Comes First
Whatever your style, healthy intimacy rests on the same principles, often summed up by the community phrases “safe, sane and consensual” and “risk-aware consensual kink”:
- Talk before you try: agree what is on and off the table.
- Use a safeword or clear signal that stops everything immediately.
- Consent is ongoing: anyone can change their mind at any time.
- Check in afterwards: many people call this aftercare.
- Never mix in pressure: if a partner says no, that is the answer.
Talking To A Partner About Preferences
- Pick a calm, private moment, not during intimacy.
- Share your result as a starting point: “I was surprised I scored high on Explorer.”
- Ask open questions and listen without judgement.
- A “yes, no, maybe” list can make the conversation easier.
