The Desire Type Quiz
A 20-question self-assessment built on Emily Nagoski's dual-control model and Esther Perel's framing of eroticism. You'll get an honest, plain-language read on whether your desire is spontaneous or responsive, novelty- or bond-driven — and what that means for the conversations you want to have with a partner.
A note on what this is. Desire types are descriptive patterns, not clinical categories. They shift with stress, hormones, life stage, and partner. This quiz is a snapshot for self-knowledge and shared vocabulary — not a verdict, not a diagnosis, and definitely not a compatibility test.
