Welcome to your quiz: Why do I not want more sex?
This is a 35 question quiz. While not a scientific quiz, it does use what I've learned about sexual desire in my years of clinical practice as an AASECT certified sex therapist. I have designed it to give you ideas about why you may be struggling with lack of desire. You will get your results and suggestions about how to improve via email, as well as ongoing information and ideas about improving your relationship and creating your best possible sex life.
This quiz is designed for people that are in a sexual relationship and who want to look at the interactions between themselves and one specific partner. If you are in a sexless stage of your relationship and the answers don't already account for that, answer the question based on what sex was like when you had it.
"Sex" refers to any sexual encounter, not just penetrative sex.
Please provide your email address below to receive a detailed copy of your results as well as tips for improvement related to the quiz.
Once you finish the quiz, detailed results will be emailed to you. Providing your email address here will subscribe you to my mailing list. You can unsubscribe at any time later. I hope you stick around, though! I work hard to make it worth your while.
