I’ve never had a problem getting one hundred or more respondents to answer my questions, so I think this is another indication that we, collectively, are eager to know ourselves. I’ve also created a number of sex surveys myself, on such topics as objectum sexuality, erotic hypnosis, semen taste, and spectro-sexuality. And when I’m teaching the research-based PREP 8.0 marriage education course, a personality quiz called “Primary Colors” is included in included in the student materials. When appropriate I’ve also asked people to fill out an adult assessment for sensory intergration issues or to work through a copy of the late Jeanne Shaw’s excellent Journey Toward Intimacy… A Handbook for Couples (out of print and getting harder to find).

In my work with clients, and based on what’s up with them, I’ve often made use of such systemized thoughts and practices as (1) Donald Mosher’s “Three Dimensions of Depth of Involvement in Human Sexual Response,” (2) Jack Morin’s three basic erotic types (erotic trance, partner engagement, and role play), Gina Ogden’s 4-D Wheel of Sexual Experience, and (3) Gary Chapman’s 5 Love Languages (you can find a quiz here). Researchers and clinicians use surveys and qualitative interviews to construct categories of sexual behavior, feelings, and “types” and systems of thought and practices to assist the various “types” with sexual and relationship dilemmas. Media uses pop quizzes to attract readers and sell products. This is the core allure of questionnaires, pop quizzes and self-tests: “What does the asking and the answering show me about who I am?”įrom an early John Money’s theory of “love maps,” first published around 1980, to John Gottman’s updated use of the term from “Cosmo Girl” quizzes (example: “ Find Out What Your Love Style Is“, Hsieh & Smothers, 2019) to the more scientifically and psychologically based Relationship Assessment Scale (Hendrick, S.S., 1998), there is no shortage of instruments with which to probe your own erotic landscape. In the 1940s and 1950s, the famous sex researcher, Alfred Kinsey, and his colleagues were able to ask approximately10,000 people some of the most intimate questions imaginable, probably because of this very craving. Those who take the basic quiz will also be emailed a listing of their 'erotic superpowers' and 'shadows' based on the test results.Įrotic superpowers are described as 'where each type can most easily give and receive ecstatic pleasure,' while shadows refer to aspects that 'may be putting the brakes on your turn on.We all crave self-understanding, particularly when it comes to sex and relationships. The basic quiz, which consists of 10 questions, will help 'determine your main pathway to arousal, connection and pleasure' by figuring out your 'primary blueprint type.' Both tests are available via Jaiya's website. The test comes in two forms-the basic quiz (which is free) and the 'in-depth' quiz (which costs $17). The shapeshifter type is turned on by all of the above, said Jaiya. 'It just depends what really turns you on.' Shapeshifter Kinky types are turned on by everything that may be considered 'taboo,' such as 'whips and chains or it could be sex in missionary style,' said Ferguson. 'They like erotic visuals, they like self-pleasuring, or masturbation. 'They can really get into orgasm' and can get upset if 'they're not getting enough sex-if they're not getting enough orgasm,' according to Jaiya. The sexual type 'loves nudity' as well as penetration and frequent intercourse. Sensualįerguson explained that sensual types are aroused by having 'all of their senses just ignited.' This can mean a range of things including 'contouring deep, sensual touch that can be taste-chocolate, the environment-candles, music, just really making that environment.' Sexual Yes, sex and spirit can go together, and so there's this sense of I'm reaching or attaining enlightenment through my sexual energy,' the sexologist said. And some of them really get into the spiritual aspect of sexuality.

The energetic type loves 'anticipation, space, tease' and playing on the 'touching but not touching' concept, Jaiya explains in the YouTube video. There are five different types of erotic blueprints and you can take a test to figure out which type you are (more on this below). A still of Gwyneth Paltrow in 'Sex, Love & goop' on Netflix.
