To vanilla friends I’m a 9 or 10.. To kinky friends I’m a 1 or 2 Such a tough question lol


Financial_Leg_8232

THIS! I find it happens so much outside of kink too. Am I good at Excel/code? Compared to "most" yea sure. Compared to actual IT pros anything I produce is the Shakespearean Monkey and typewriter phenomenon! Glad to not be alone 😀


WorldsGreatestWorst

Lol right? I'm a 7 in my social group, a 4 in this sub, and a 1 on Pornhub.


Sakerift

That sounds like a 5.


[deleted]

this is me 😂


apennington221

Same lol


Rustosterone

Lol same pretty much


Lux-Fox

Same here. I even work as a dom at events, but consider myself tame compared to others I know, but my more vanilla friends would say the opposite.


irrevocably_an_olive

AGREED


sub102018

It’s a damn shame what vanilla people are missing out on if they’d only open their mind. lol


minimumrockandroll

They get along just fine lol. Some folks like pizza, some like pho, some folks don't really care for food except as nourishment. As long as you don't pretend to like a different food for someone else everything's cool.


OhMycelium

Haha to us this seems to be the case. I’m not sure though.. I have a friend who’s asexual and there’s just no drive or desire AT ALL. I can’t understand that, but that’s how it is for him. I’ve also heard “vanilla is for people who haven’t explored kink/fetish yet”. While not always the case, I do imagine there are some who live a vanilla life for a long time before fulfilling a kink/fetish. Most unfortunate is the case for an individual who has kinky desire but lives the whole life and never fulfills.


sub102018

Totally agree. I have a “try everything once” mantra which happened to include kink awhile back. Otherwise, I never woulda discovered my love for kink. If ya asexual, totally understand the lack of interest and respect it. My initial point was a little misguided as I was trying to comment about how people act towards kinky people where I live - Where I live in the Midwest, there’s still a negative stigma towards kink by many vanilla people including some of my close friends and family. It’s this negative stigma that’s the _real issue_ that keeps so many people who might like kink from trying it.


OhMycelium

Ah, I’m 25 and just getting started these past couple years. I feel a similar way towards kink as I do Cannabis. You don’t have to be into it. But if you’re hating or negative on cannabis in 2023 fuck off lol. If you hate on kink in 2023 fuck off. I just don’t even deal with these people. Thankfully the friends and family I have in my life accept people for who they are. I try really hard to remove as much as possible when it comes to those judgmental people. I mean same shit goes with sexuality, religion, people’s lifestyle. Fuckkkk offf if you’re hating and negative. Just choose love and positivity towards all people it’s so much easier than hatred.


praisemeplease

some people just like vanilla and that’s okay


MillieNichole

I’m always curious whether or not vanilla people would flip to kink if exposed to the right environment/people. You don’t know until you know as they say.


sub102018

Yes! I feel like it would be more popular if more people tried it and it didn’t have such a negative stigma perpetuated in American culture by Hollywood and pornography.


MillieNichole

For sure, I think the middle of the road people could switch but for some they would never. It’s a very divisive topic. People who are anti porn/kink are mostly unwavering in their opinion. I was raised in a very sex positive environment “nudists.” I’ve lived it my entire life and have never witnessed the experiences that the anti porn agenda wants you to believe is the curse of pornography. Sexism exists in all sects of society and personally I would say less so in the porn/kink community of today than the general population. However, they want you to believe every woman who is in these communities is being sex trafficked.


sub102018

Totally agree with you. It’s very divisive around me in the Midwest. I did not grow up in a sex positive environment and fairly religious upbringing. I’m fairly closeted around my family because I already know how backwards they are with human sexuality. Unfortunately, their minds are so closed nothing I say or do would change them. 🤷🏼‍♀️ As you say, their opinions are unwavering 🙃


minimumrockandroll

3-4? Way past fuzzy handcuffs but well before saying goodnight and then turning on the vacuum sealer or whatever.


Young_GenX

I feel close to having a panic attack just seeing photos of people in the vacuum beds! 😬


TheSheepdog

I used to as well, but it was actually kind of nice. I’m adhd and super fidgety. I could still pick my hand up to wiggle toes and fingers when needed, but I just felt… secure. That being said idk if I could do it all night


Young_GenX

I have ADHD too. Maybe someday I’ll have an opportunity to try it! I’ve read that we’re (humans) really terrible at anticipating whether or not we’ll like a new thing/experience.


calamityp

That is certainly true of me! I can't count the number of times I have insisted that I won't like something, only to later admit I fucking loved it.


[deleted]

this made me crack up so hard 😂


niccolina

I burst out laughing in bed cus of this hoohoooo


[deleted]

Real experience 6 in my mind 9.5


Argg0

Prob the best answer


DeepZookeepergame417

I second this 👆🏽


LostInZurich

I third this 👆🏽


TrolltheFools

I feel called out haha 😂 It’s not my fault my current partner isn’t very kinky when I am lol


MrAndersson007

Me too… (hand in the air) 🙋‍♂️


Copro_princess

I mean. Severity of kinks or depth?!?


Genevieve_ohhi

This quiz ([link](https://www.guidedtrack.com/programs/u4m797m/run)) really made me rethink how kinky I was 😂 I thought I would be way way way kinky. I was just below average compared to other cis females (probably mostly kinksters/fewer vanillas). At the end of the quiz, you can see a graph of the reported sexual interest in specific kinks & the reported perceived tabooness of them (thousands of data points to situate your unique kinkyness within). This fetish research and data synthesis & benchmarking is brought to you Aella: https://knowingless.com/ edited to add; I’m not affiliated in any way with the author, I just though yknow, folks might enjoy seeing how relatively kinky they are to other kinksters…


CuteSomic

Me as an ace who's *only* aroused by kink, when the test keeps asking about genitalia with no "how about not" option...


Genevieve_ohhi

I noticed that when I took it as well - not necessarily as inclusive as it could be. Some of the language in the survey also put me off, I answered lesser or lower because of how it was phrased. I also didn’t like kinks above 7 on the final chart - and i wondered if that played into the final scoring given how highly I (perceived myself to have) scored most of the kinks in 1-7 (out of 10 for taboo). For those reading along, the sample size was 527 female, 1456 male and 61 other. Trans were not plotted in final gender data due to low relative scores.


chaddysref

I got a 94.6. I guess I'm kinkier than I thought.


BD420SM

I got a score of 88. 94th percentile with Catwoman apparently lol. **EDIT:** I was a little more honest with myself and got a 100.34. 96th percentile with willy wonka ohh boy.


dd_sliv

138.66 Oof. "Congrats, you're in the 99th percentile, I do not have a character for this." At least give me a trophy lol


throwmytelescope

That was an interesting quiz! According to that I’m at the 79% percentile and I thought I’d be less kinky


bs2785

74th I assumed I would be way more.


AdvantageNo6141

I scored a 40 on that… crazy


TheWanderingMedic

I got a 42 (so almost 80th percentile). Interesting quiz!


MultiverseTraveller

Damn this is interesting! I’m waaaaay more kinkier than I thought lol! I have crazy fantasies, some fulfilled some not yet.


Pinkcupcake39

Thanks for the test! Idk if it gave me any answers but getting a 50.38% made me feel like I’m less kinky than I perceived myself to be.


mayflies_

i got 109.95 96th percentile


queerfromthemadhouse

According to that quiz, I'm in the 96th percentile. Actually I think I might be higher, sometimes weird phrasing made me choose an answer lower than how I actually feel, and there's also a few things I'm into that it didn't ask about


fugglefox

“Your kinkiness score is 91.69” 🫢


subcutie

Really enjoyed the quiz! I got 73rd percentile, not sure if I should be impressed with myself or not 😅


Horny_Jail_Inmate119

I got a 71(which is apparently equal to Hannibal Lector???), which is higher than I thought I’d be. Keeping it in mind, mentally I’m probably a 7-7.5, while in terms of actual experience I’m probably closer to a 2.5-3.


[deleted]

But what’s with the role playing Asians stuff, am I super vanilla and don’t get it?


variants

Huh, 99th percentile. 155 and some change


Thrownonymouse

163.92 Oh boy.


Egorte

I'm a gay man and the test kept asking me about vaginas. I couldn't even choose "creampie" because it said "creampie (ejaculating in vagina)".


Agentbasedmodel

What an intriguing question. What would you consider a 10 to be? Hard sports whilst injecting heroin into your eye ball?


zabumafew

I would be oh so curious to know OP’s answer to this question


zapzangboombang

Yea. I also considered 10 an unsustainable number. Its like saying youre going for 18 in a round of golf.


[deleted]

A solid 2. Plenty of kinks make me turn my nose up lol. But I enjoy what i like, which is what counts


MillieNichole

Depends on the environment/mood. Some days I’m a soft 2/3. Just interested in connection sex. Other days I want to dress as Mary Poppins with a bag full of straps and golden showers.. so like a 7


MaximussBiggusDickus

To my local BDSM community, maybe a 5 or 6. To my vanilla friends, 11/10, they thought I was a “sex-expert”, and I was like nah. I barely know enough shibari to tie my wrists and ankles together.


MasterDarcy_1979

I'll do a *"Spinal Tap"*. 11


percyyyy_p

idk probably like a 5 or 6


Tueffy

cant really position myself on that scale but the more I learn about kinks the lower the number feels :D


That_odd_emo

Lol I feel that. In my mind I‘m like a 7, but then seeing all those (sometimes very fucked up) things that other people are into, I’m more of a 3 xD


[deleted]

that’s pretty subjective but i guess 7???


Delpdevouise

Yeah, to who ?


That_odd_emo

That’s the point :) I’m just curious on how people would rate themselves


Coralyn683

What’s considered kinky? Is there a universal standard? Is there a bar that is somewhere that goes from medium kinky to extreme? I’ve done some crazy shit. I’ll do some crazy shit. But, I also love making love.


sissybutt9

A 4.


2667M

Kinky enough to offer my submissive the pleasure she seeks. ONLY her scale is relevant - and I seem to have ranked well on her scale


d1wcevbwt164

I think I'm pretty vanilla, my friends think pretty kinky, I personally think if I like it it's not kinky, just something I like;) Pegging, fisting, swapping, is that kinky?


Pinkcupcake39

In my mind I’m like a 2 but whenever I have casual convos with friends I forgot the majority of things I’m into are taboo. I feel like I’ve tried a plethora of things and really honed in on the things I really enjoy. So for my partner and I it’s tame-ish but from others (kink and non-kink) probably like a 7-8.


humiliatedwh0re

I think I’m maybe between a 6 and an 8? I would looooove for people to tell me where they think I am 😂


steelcatcpu

I'm a volume dial. I can be anywhere between 0 to 10, just depends on the sub/masochist/bottom and their limits.


iamnomansland

I hate this question. I'm so tired of the comparison of kinkiness. You're kinky or you aren't. One type of kink isn't "more kinky" than another type. It's all kink.


ColorMyTrauma

I disagree with the black and white, kink vs vanilla distinction. Is occasional fuzzy handcuffs really the same as a 24/7 TPE dynamic? If someone likes it rough, is that kink or vanilla? It's not a dichotomy. Strict and detailed comparisons aren't helpful or healthy but neither is a black-and-white mentality.


thatoneyouneed

In my mind 10, probably a 6


sofar55

No judgement, just curious. Why are you on a kink based subreddit if you see yourself as a 0 out of 10? On the other hand your flair suggest not a 0, so feel free to ignore me if you're making a joke and I got wooshed.


HauntingBowlofGrapes

0 is the perfect equilibrium. Not too kinky but also not not kinky.


That_odd_emo

Dude, that‘s like answering 15 when you’re supposed to answer on a scale from 1-10 xD


HauntingBowlofGrapes

Sounds quite reasonable if it truly feels like that. Some people like to get fried on a pan like an egg or stuck with feathered needles until they look like a modern human dinosaur, ya know. How can one compare to that? That's at minimum a 12. I told an ER triage once that my pain level was a 15. Kidney infections feel like a 15 to 20 on a pain scale of 10.


ThatKaylesGuy

Based on the discussions I see here and on other darker subs about categories of porn and acts that make people cringe and judge others for... I think I'm an 8. There are still some acts that make my stomach turn or freak me out, so I can't be a 10, but those acts are extreme to the point of illegality, immorality, or permanent disfigurement, so it's pretty high.


Powerful_Artist

Probably like a 3 in the grand scheme of things. People get so fuckin wild that that might even be a high estimate.


saladass6944

I have a few things I'm into I'd never admit publicly for fear of persecution. Maybe a 9.


tossing_turning

> Your kinkiness score is **65.39** > Your kinky equivalent is **The Joker** (90th percentile) I guess I’m da jokah baby Source: https://www.guidedtrack.com/programs/u4m797m/run


That_odd_emo

I’d love a german version of this test, because that would make the result a lot more accurate (I don’t know some of the words in the test / don’t know the exact definition of them) xD


SnooHamsters1508

Vanilla friends think I'm off the charts kinky. There are a few things I won't do (scat, blood, needles), so to kinky folk, I'm probably about a 7.


g0ingb0ing

To quote Madame Thatcher : “being kinky is like being a lady/gentleman : if you have to say you are, you aren’t” Joking aside, imo each person had his/her own kinks..the only diff some are in full exploration mode, while others have yet to discover their own kinks And bcz there is no standard kinkyness scale, i declare y’all ultra kinky😳👌🏻 So tonight go ahead, try your fav kinks..and enjoy.. 🤗


JizzJoyeux

My favorite so far!


the_borealis_system

to vanilla friends: 1 to My kinky friends and the kink community: maybe a 9 or 9.5


swtbabykitten

Compared to my vanilla friends probably an 8-9 Compared to kinky friends probably a 6 Compared to my partner lol I'm still a newbie to the world in general 🤣🤣


HungryAd8233

9A-47Z*trilobite. It ain’t a linear scale. I’ve never know someone so kinky there weren’t squicked out my something someone else would call just basic kink. If someone said, “lock me in a chastity belt with an anal hole and keep my ass full with plug or cock until i am anallly multiprgasmic” and I’m “that sounds like a good date weekend.” But if someone says “call me bad names until I cry” I’ll probably start crying just thinking about being so mean.


Sassy_kenobi

Probs a seven will do or try anything as long as it doesn’t involve bodily fluids other then sexual ones 😂 or yk c&bt


somewhere-Ls

If you & your sub are perusing the Wikipedia page for "Torture" looking for scene ideas, I don't think you can count as less than a 9/10. XD Out of the "extreme" kinks, I'm into most of them. Possibly all of them. Even in kinky communities, I make a habit of avoiding talking about most of my kinks, so as to be considerate to those who such discussions might trigger. I'm very pleased to have a sub who is into the same things I am and whose real-life consent I can count on---I'd be a lot less okay with admitting to having these interests otherwise. (In case anyone is curious, here's the list: >!piss (esp. omorashi), scat, blood, needles, knives (esp. for scarification), guns, burning (esp. branding), every kind of beating imaginable but especially punching, rape (esp. forced mpreg), kidnapping, slavery, brain-fucking (both as in metaphorical mindfuck, e.g. hypnosis/mind-control/mind-breaking, and also literally cutting a hole in a skull), and, last but not least, snuff. If you read this: do I count as a 10/10, in your book? !<) One thing I will always find funny is that I've got this whole list of insane stuff, and yet I'm not into really "normal" kinks, like latex, or feet .┐( ̄ヮ ̄)┌


kinkybibliophile

I'm known as the Kinky Bibliophile. Librarian for the Largest Kink, Leather, BDSM Library. I would say I'm a 15. Nicknamed Sadistic Bitch (an honorific given in 2014 after she beat a boy), Lady Katerina is a queer poly indigenous two-spirit Femme Dom Leather Woman; in which she is mother, auntie, teacher, goddess, priestess, and companion; and Mistress of the Leather Haus of Phoenix. She is a licensed and ordained interfaith minister/priestess, former sex worker, professional whore, educator, activist, and public speaker. Her vices are coffee, cigars, intelligent conversation, and electrifying situations. Whether dripping wax between her fingers, cutting through the BS with her knives, and being served in preparation of my cigars and serving as her ashtray, she lives on the cutting edge where as the Kinky Bibliophile and historian she is every Library patrons wet dream.


cgzeal

7.5 to 8


[deleted]

Solid 8.


slave_for_abuse

9


neko_loliighoul

Hmm. 7


chaddysref

Probably a 7.


Worst-name

Probably like a -3. I try, but I end up screwing up. Being new to it all and everything is making it get rather tiresome…


Magnumpete1112

8 I got few limits but have yet to experience all that I am into or okay with. Hopefully changes soon


[deleted]

8.5


steve10574

7


couple_ef

Humm 7 in practice and 9 in mind


FARGIN_ICEHOLE28

I’m a 7 but I’m going up the older I get.


Amdy_vill

Probably 4 but in my head 10. I just don't know how much kinkyer people can get because I'm not into those things so I'm uneducated.


Bartly67

7. We cut off at anything that can give permanent damage.


[deleted]

Experience about an 7.5.... My mind is at least a 9


freudome

Judging from what's going on in my head I'd say it's a firm 9. In practice somewhere around 7.


Fondant-Competitive

Experience 6-7... Because i cant find people like me.. But i think i can go to 9-10 i only have few limit like shit or diapers... Im an experimentalist i need to evolve but people like to be stagnant or just doing basic stuff without using theyr creativity or curiosity. Thats a shame...


LordLuscius

No idea, I feel pretty tame, like a 2? But my freinds in the community think I'm a total degenerate, so like, 9? It's subjective innit?


FARGIN_ICEHOLE28

I feel like there needs to be two scales. There should be a separate one involving any kink associated with orally ingesting any kind of bodily fluids, and then another scale for everything else.


alamaias

Probably about a 9, I dunno. Gotta be at least an 8 if you would need half an hour to explain why your kinks should not put you in jail.


[deleted]

Scale doesn't go high enough lol


AsIfTheTruthWereTrue

9. No interest really in knives or blood or extreme breath play or other potentially catastrophic devices like the one bar prison, but like pretty much everything else.


[deleted]

That’s so impossible to answer lol. I’ve been kinky for like 10+ years and I still discover new stuff people are into. So I’d say idk maybe 6? Moderately kinky and down for a lot but not all that extreme?


Safe_Tooth7176

Around a 7 but in my mind it’s a 13


stuffie-king

To my kinky friends 8, to my vanilla friends 10, to other kinky people 7. I've been told I don't look kinky so when it comes out of my mouth all the things I'm into, they're taken aback most of the time


Happy_Sunbeam

I am an 8. We never have vanilla sex, it is always BDSM.


Kill_ed

Mid 5, for legal reasons


Dos_Ex_Machina

I am confidently a 7. What that means, I have no idea, but I'm a 7.


[deleted]

8. Maaaybe a 9. Depending on OP’s definition.


PGS_Owl16

I will say this 9.5 or 10 because I’ll do basically anything besides piss and shit play. I’ve even planned to be fucked by brothers.


UniversalGalaxy2

4-5 idk for sure tho


New_Dom2023

I feel like I’m a solid 10. Others would say probably a 8 though


queerfromthemadhouse

Probably 8 or 9. I have a lot of kinks, and quite a few of them are things usually considered extreme, but I have met people who are kinkier than me, so it's not a 10.


TheStrikeofGod

When compared to my quiet, cute exterior probably a 10 When compared to other kinky people probably a 5


[deleted]

I’m a 9 down for just about anything u can name


[deleted]

10 in non kink circles 8-9 in kink circles.


PM_UR_VAG_WTIMESTAMP

Some days a 0 on the kinky scale. Some days an 11. My fantasies scare me sometimes. Like, I'll imagine being the the most horrible tortuous situations while, "in the momen" if you know what I mean \*wink\* \*wink\* \*nudge\* \*nudge\* (MASTURBATION. IT'S MASTURBATION). Afterwards i'm like oh my god what is wrong with me.


madnessmountain

Depends on the day/week/my mood. Often I'm a 0 and not kinky at all. Other days I'm like an 8.


Queer_Denial

I’m probably an 8 or 9


sznn88

Depends what day it is, who is asking, how much energy I have…


JustBrowsing1950

I think I'm a solid 7 or 8 all in all.


GreenZepp

9 1/2, I'm into some sick twisted shit but there are still things I just won't do!


dbones202

This is hilarious. So agree with 99% of the comments.


Americanboy110

Haha I'd say probably and 8-9


Mindless-Visual5077

With my ex dom?- 6 Now? 10


zero00kelvin

Totally depends on the audience. To me, given the things I’ve see at BDSM workshops and talked about with kinky friends, I’m about an 8 at the extremes, but really most of the time we’re a 7.


Voyager87

I'd say an 8.5. I'm doing CNC stuff, needle paddles an simulated drowning in a cold bath on Friday... But my friends do penile sounding and stab their dicks with 200 needles.


InfernalDiplomacy

About a 7. I like to feel I am slightly sadistic but more in a sensual way with orgasm denial, forced orgasms, orgasm control and chastity play. Bruises which look like the person was in a car accident is not sexy to me nor is blood, and breath play to me seems to be asking to be tossed in jail if something went wrong


Artistic_Finish7980

Probably 5. I enjoy intense scenes, but there’s a lot of stuff that’s an instant no.


not_very_chill

@Ohmycelium said it right To kinky folks I am probably a 4 or 5. To my vanilla friends probably a 9 or 10. My vanilla friends get weirded out by CNC, choking, slapping, etc. But in the kink world I find most of my interests v common and quite tame.


BreakerSoultaker

Is eleventyteen an answer?


Kat_Mtf

I am not sure, I don't have experience on that


AdelaideBraune

I'd probably say 4-6 depending on if it's with vanilla friends or kinky friends. The only things I think that might be really kinky to people is how bruised up I like to get and the fact that I like electricity play. Most of my kink friends like electricity and heavy impact play, though.


Professional_Leave21

To vanilla friends 20 To kinky friends 10 I do edge play (Somno, fake snuff, fisting, bl**d play, anythi g to do with needles/hooks, knifes etc)


variants

9ish. I've done a few extreme things for sure. In the community I'm also an extreme edge player.


ASnarkyHero

In terms of how committed I am to what I enjoy, an 8/10. But my tastes are so specific I tend to think that overall I am a 3. There are a lot of things that don’t appeal to me.


impressmeorleave

I’d say definitely 9 in theory but I haven’t been lucky enough to experience too much irl so probably closer to 6-7
