About This Quiz

Nothing sets the mood quite like music, amirite? Candles, lingerie and Egyptian cotton sheets might help, but for the real (nasty) magic in the bedroom, you need the right tunes.

So, what's your perfect sex playlist? We want to know! When you're making love, are you all about those Top 40 hits (think: Drake and Demi Lovato)? Or, is it the classics like Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On" that really light your fire? Everyone has their own tastes, and we're very curious to know yours.

Speaking of tastes, how about your sexual leanings? Answer our questions about the perfect sex playlist, and we'll guess your kink. We're pretty confident you know what you're into.

Despite its roots in subcultures (and behind the curtain at the video rental shop), kink is becoming more and more mainstream. Whether you're as kinky as they come or are just starting to explore the subject, kink has something for everyone. Traditionally, society may have found these sexual activities less than acceptable, but somehow, that makes them all the more pleasurable.

So, what will it be? Whips or wands? Sadism or spectrophilia? Take our quiz to curate your ideal sex playlist and we'll guess your kink!
