What Your Score Means

100 – 120 Gay Debauchee

75-99 Free Spirit

50 – 74 Secret Sybarite

49 or under Non Adventurer

Free Spirit: Although not quite as daring as the Gay Debauchee, you have a huge capacity for pleasure in all its varieties. You’re the charmer who’s ready to disco until dawn or try out new erotic techniques, yet your fun-loving personality is wisely tempered by solid good sense. You’d prefer to balance play with serious endeavors and never quite forget that your career needs looking after. You also know exactly when delvings into adventure may turn dangerous—and pull back just in time.

Secret Sybarite: You’re intrigued by decadence, all right (perhaps more than you’ll admit?) but often shy away from nicely naughty activities. You’re a bit timid in bed, and even when you do relax and delight in new sensations, you wonder if you deserve such thrills. You’d do well to accept your wicked streak…then you’ll cut loose and revel in the pleasures that are rightfully yours.

Nonadventurer: To you, jumpy mouse, peril lurks around every corner, and you devote an inordinate portion of your time and energies to escape rather than enjoyment. You’re also a rather disapproving girl, and that straitlaced air often wobbles friendships and love affairs before they’re even begun. Think about the traits that may be keeping you from indulging your senses, then try to free yourself from fearful past conditioning and expand your sensual repertoire.

So, how sensual are you? Would you like to grow and know more? Visit us often, read our pages, ask questions, and like the ancient poet Rumi said, become a passionate lover of life!
