For example, if the statement says, “I enjoy spanking my partner with my hands,” you would select 0 if you don't enjoy this, or 5 if it strongly appeals to you.

What Categories Does The BDSM Quiz Tests For?

Our BDSM Quiz will test you and rank you for all 23 categories all related to BDSM and Kink. We have listed them here with a quick definition so you know exactly what your results mean!

Dominant

A Dom (Dominant) enjoys taking control in BDSM interactions, guiding their partner’s experiences, setting rules, and giving commands. Dominants thrive in positions of power, authority, and responsibility, often finding fulfillment in directing scenes and guiding submissive partners through carefully constructed power dynamics.

Submissive

A Sub (Submissive) enjoys surrendering control in BDSM scenarios, deriving satisfaction from obeying instructions, following established rules, and pleasing their Dominant partner. Submissives trust their partners deeply, embracing vulnerability, and often finding personal fulfillment through acts of service, obedience, or relinquishing authority.

Brat

A Brat is a playful, teasing submissive who enjoys testing boundaries, provoking reactions, and exhibiting defiant behavior to elicit discipline or attention from their Dominant partner. Brats thrive in dynamic interactions where power exchange involves playful push-and-pull, incorporating humor, resistance, and consensual mischief.

Switch

A Switch comfortably alternates between Dominant and Submissive roles, depending on their mood, partner, or specific scenarios. Switches find satisfaction in exploring multiple aspects of BDSM power exchange, often adapting seamlessly to various situations, and gaining pleasure from the versatility and flexibility of both sides.

Degrader

A Degrader enjoys consensually humiliating or degrading their partner verbally or physically within BDSM interactions. They find excitement and empowerment in acts like name-calling, objectification, or humiliation, always within clear consent and boundaries, using degradation to intensify emotional and sexual dynamics.

Degradee

A Degradee finds fulfillment in being consensually humiliated or degraded verbally or physically during BDSM interactions. They derive emotional or sexual satisfaction from experiences of humiliation, objectification, or embarrassment, embracing vulnerability and trust within carefully negotiated limits and clear communication with their partner.

Daddy/Mommy

A Daddy/Mommy takes on a nurturing, guiding, protective role within BDSM relationships, offering care, discipline, and emotional support to their “Little” partner. They create environments emphasizing tenderness, authority, and affection, balancing dominance with parental-like warmth, guidance, and attention to their partner's needs.

Little

A Little engages in age regression, adopting a childlike persona to experience nurturing, care, and playful interactions with a Daddy or Mommy partner. They seek comfort, protection, affection, and guidance, often enjoying elements such as cuddling, playful discipline, toys, or activities evoking innocence and vulnerability.

Masochist

A Masochist derives pleasure and satisfaction from experiencing consensual pain, discomfort, or intense sensations during BDSM scenes. They find emotional release or sexual gratification in activities such as spanking, whipping, or sensory deprivation, embracing physical intensity as a pathway to pleasure and deep emotional connection.

Sadist

A Sadist enjoys consensually inflicting pain, discomfort, or intense sensations on a willing partner, finding satisfaction, empowerment, or sexual arousal through activities such as spanking, whipping, or impact play. Sadists value trust, communication, and safety, carefully negotiating scenes to ensure mutual pleasure and consent.

Rigger

A Rigger specializes in bondage, skillfully tying, restraining, or suspending partners using ropes, harnesses, or restraints. They find fulfillment in the artistry, control, and intimacy involved in rope bondage, carefully orchestrating safe yet intense experiences that emphasize aesthetics, vulnerability, trust, and physical sensations.

Rope bunny

A Rope Bunny finds pleasure in being tied, restrained, or suspended by their Rigger partner. They enjoy the vulnerability, intimacy, and sensations of rope bondage, deriving emotional satisfaction or sexual arousal from surrendering control, feeling secure yet restricted, and experiencing carefully negotiated restraint and submission.

Pet

A Pet enjoys adopting an animal persona within BDSM roleplay, embodying behaviors and characteristics of pets such as puppies, kittens, or other animals. They seek affection, care, playfulness, and discipline from their Pet Owner, finding satisfaction through obedience, playful interactions, physical affection, and pet-like activities.

Pet Owner

A Pet Owner takes on a Dominant role, caring for and guiding their submissive partner who adopts an animal persona in BDSM play. They provide discipline, affection, training, and structure, deriving pleasure from nurturing, controlling, and caring for their "Pet" within a structured, affectionate, and playful environment.

Master/Mistress

A Master or Mistress embodies a high level of dominance and authority in BDSM relationships, maintaining control and responsibility over their submissive "Slave" partner. They establish strict rules, expectations, and protocols, finding deep satisfaction through complete control, discipline, ownership, and consensual total power exchange dynamics.

Slave

A Slave engages in consensual total power exchange (TPE), completely surrendering control to their Master or Mistress partner. They embrace structured rules, discipline, and protocols, willingly relinquishing autonomy and authority. Slaves find profound satisfaction and personal fulfillment in obedience, service, and deep trust within their relationship.

Vanilla

Vanilla refers to those who prefer conventional sexual or relationship dynamics without involving kink, BDSM, or power exchange. Vanilla individuals typically enjoy intimacy and sexuality without exploring dominance, submission, pain, or fetish elements, preferring more traditional forms of sexual expression and emotional connection.

Cuck

A Cuck (Cuckold/Cuckquean) enjoys consensually watching or knowing about their partner engaging sexually with someone else. They derive satisfaction, arousal, or emotional intensity from feelings of jealousy, humiliation, or excitement tied to their partner’s sexual activities, enhancing intimacy through controlled and negotiated emotional vulnerability.

Voyeur

A Voyeur finds excitement and sexual arousal in observing others engaged in sexual activities or intimate behaviors. Voyeurs enjoy watching consensually, either openly or discreetly, deriving satisfaction from visual stimulation, emotional distance, and the sense of witnessing something intimate or private without active participation.

Exhibitionist

An Exhibitionist experiences sexual satisfaction or excitement by being watched or observed while engaging in sexual or intimate behaviors. Exhibitionists enjoy consensually performing or exposing themselves, seeking the thrill, vulnerability, and validation derived from being viewed, noticed, or admired by consenting observers or partners.

Non-monogamist

A Non-monogamist engages in consensual relationships with multiple partners simultaneously, openly and ethically exploring intimacy, sexuality, and emotional connections beyond traditional monogamy. They prioritize communication, boundaries, and consent, valuing honesty and transparency in balancing multiple fulfilling relationships or encounters.

Roleplayer

A Roleplayer finds enjoyment in adopting fictional personas or scenarios during sexual or BDSM interactions, enhancing intimacy, excitement, or emotional connection through imaginative roleplay. They derive pleasure from exploring fantasies, scenarios, and characters, using creativity, negotiation, and storytelling to deepen sexual experiences and connections.

Ageplayer

An Ageplayer consensually adopts the role of a different age—often younger—in BDSM interactions, exploring nurturing, caregiving, innocence, and playful scenarios. They derive emotional fulfillment or sexual excitement from experiences of regression, dependency, or nurturing dynamics, enjoying care, discipline, comfort, and guidance from a partner.

How to Interpret The Results

You’ll receive your BDSM test results as a percentage, accompanied by a visual bar for clarity. The percentage is calculated by totaling your scores for each kink category, then dividing by the maximum possible score. For instance, if the quiz has 8 questions about dominance, the highest score would be 40 (8 questions × maximum of 5 points each). If your answers vary—such as some questions scored at 4, others at 3, and others at 5—resulting in a total of 35 out of 40, your dominance percentage would be 87.5%.

The higher the percentage is the more your preferences match that specific category (at least according to our BDSM quiz). And the lower the percentage is the less you fit into that category.
