Count how many answers you have for A, B, etc. Your personality description corresponds to the letter that appears most frequently in your answers.
Mostly A
SADIST (SADO)
You enjoy domination and may even take pleasure in inflicting suffering—while maintaining a calm, natural demeanor. Your sexuality resembles solar storms: on one hand, a source of light and warmth; on the other, capable of causing severe burns. You play with emotions with remarkable cynicism, and in your relationships, sadism dominates over masochism. You should be especially feared when calm, because behind your fire chief-like exterior hides a pyromaniac.
Mostly B
ROMANTIC LOVER (MELO)
Those who separate heart and sex seem emotionally ill to you. You love to love! You feel no need to change partners, and exhibitionism holds no appeal. If love is forever, then the “Kama Sutra” is merely an exotic book—ultimately pointless, like any foreign religion. You handle sexual freedom carefully, as it’s not a credit card to be used without thought for how much you’ve spent. The absence of capital-L Love is the worst thing that could happen to you. Your most important question is: “To love or not to love?”
Mostly V
EGOCENTRIST (EGO)
For you in love, the most important thing is to love yourself. This in no way means you prefer to have sex alone. For mental balance, there is nothing better than a crowd of adoring lovers, ready to satisfy your sexual and intellectual fantasies. The question “To be or not to be?” for you transforms into “To be or not to be loved?” Exhibitionism is inherent in you even during sexual games for two. First and foremost, you admire yourself, and then the effect you produce on your partner. You willingly experiment, but not because it diversifies your sex life, but because it flatters your “ego” and presents your qualities as a charming seducer in a favorable light.
Most G
INTELLECTUAL (INTELLO)
You take sexual fantasies and games seriously. Your head is always in the right place, even if, due to a whim from the “Kama Sutra,” it is currently in a somewhat atypical location for it. Very little embarrasses you, so you can go far in situations that would make many people blush. Sexually, you have a great future; you are like a wise Indian who doesn’t get dizzy on the roof of a skyscraper. “Quiet, sex class is in session!” – that’s something you are quite capable of declaring to chatterboxes who go on at length about what they are going to do (and which, as a rule, they never actually do). Why chatter when the main thing is the scientific approach?
Most D
MASOCHIST (MASO)
You are a mystic in love and are ready for anything, even the most ardent sex, if it is caused by true passion. Your sense of self-sacrifice is very well developed: the end justifies the means, including masochism. Passion is suffering; you know this better than the publishers of explanatory dictionaries, which indicate the etymology of the word “passion” as “intense pain.” The chains of love hold you tighter than the objects of masochistic paraphernalia. And the ritual of physical suffering is a trifle for you compared to the torments that tear your heart apart. After all, it’s about passionate love, unhappy, of course, because it cannot be otherwise.
Most E
MAXIMALIST (MAXI)
“Forbidding is forbidden” – this motto is just for you. Sex cannot be limited by rules. The only rule is “everything for pleasure.” Love in the best traditions of our dads and moms? No, thank you. Today, the main thing is to live. You don’t provoke anyone; you remain yourself, and let the rest get their mediocre pleasure. But your partners must be up to the task. If they can’t handle it, let them rest; you prefer to do without sex altogether rather than wallow in grayness.

Portrait of your couple
Sado-Sado
Gladiators of love, endowed with all types of weapons (and not just intellectual ones), are always ready for dangerous clashes. However, they are aware that they are taking risks – and the risk brings more pleasure than the fight itself.
Sado-Melo
One likes to burn, the other likes to be burned, but this is not a union of a sadist and a masochist, because the first is constantly afraid of getting burned himself, and the second prefers intense warmth over high temperature. It’s worth remembering the fable about two hedgehogs who need to maintain distance.
Sado-Ego
Sex between you is only possible as a kind of compromise, a zone of agreement: when so much divides you, you need to find at least something in common.
Sado-Intello
When a toreador meets a bull completely indifferent to the picador’s jabs, the corrida can drag on for a long time, and the participants will repeatedly change roles. For you, sex is entertainment, but not relaxation. It seems that endless thrusts and provocations are the brightest expression of your sexual fantasies.
Sado-Maso
When two magnets are drawn to each other. Be careful: everyone knows how such communication can end.
Sado-Maxi
Meetings proceed briskly. One is set on winning a game where any moves are possible, the other plays for interest because any pleasures are allowed.
Melo-Melo
A union of hearts! Your common definition of love: to look in the same direction (even if it’s watching a TV show). Don’t forget to close your eyes and sometimes pay attention to what’s happening above the waist.
Melo-Ego
One is fascinated, and the other is engaged in self-admiration. But: complementarity only works if the more sentimental of the two can be a worthy audience for the partner and both are absolutely indifferent to passionate sex.
Melo-Intello
Complete harmony of thoughts and feelings: no volcanic passions, no dangerous sensuality – in a word, harmony in warm “bedroom” tones. Sexual amusements, like travels to another planet, exist in guidebooks but are generally unfamiliar. And at the same time – no feeling of deprivation or frustration!
Melo-Maso
Love along the bisector of the triangle: between passion, self-sacrifice, and the heart! Why simplify when you can complicate? Why harmony when you can endlessly tear each other apart? Sex is never the motive, at best – a way to resolve conflicts.
Melo-Maxi
The sensuality of one is thoroughly permeated by the tenderness of the other. An amazing combination of sweet and salty, the mutual enrichment of two dissimilar but not opposite people.
Ego-Ego
Your gazes only meet in the mirror. If both partners only admire themselves… The prospects are slim.
Ego-Intello
No threat of explosion or even fireworks, but also no risk of absolute incompatibility. For you, sex is not the first of pleasures, but not the last either. And it’s good that you both agree on this axiom.
Ego-Maso
A piece of ice next to an ember: the first likes to warm itself near the second, and the second enjoys warming the first. But, to be honest, in bed it all turns out very average.
Ego-Maxi
It is not easy for the centripetal force, which attracts everything, and the centrifugal force, which spreads to everything around, to reach an agreement. For this, the maximalist needs to narrow their field of activity as much as possible and focus attention on the partner. Which is very difficult.
Intello-Intello
When both live at the level of the head, not much happens below the belt level. Cases of collisions (love, for example, or anger) are rare. At an altitude of 10,000 meters, life is crystal clear. Aren’t you afraid of a complete loss of sensitivity?
Intello-Maso
When one suffers, the other smiles (because he himself practically never suffers). An agreement can be reached in principle, but it will satisfy neither the one who prefers cold squalls hitting the face, nor the one who is himself as frosty and prickly.
Intello-Maxi
The first pushes the second into madness, the second obediently submits and… goes along with it. You can go very, very far like this, because neither the first nor the second will brake, albeit for different reasons.
Maso-Maso
The neighbors envy you: you always have so much… fun! You are always burning in the fire of passion! Boredom and indifference do not threaten you. Those who, in their naivety, think you live in paradise, have no idea that the flame of passion burns just as strongly as a fire.
Maso-Maxi
The first enjoys fanning the flames, the other enjoys giving pleasure, but something is uneasy in his soul. But the fire still burns.
Maxi-Maxi
Please, don’t embarrass us: we understand that when two fires join, the flame can soar to the heavens.
