About This Quiz

In health, one's sex drive can be the canary in the coal mine when there is an impending health concern. Certain diseases, such as cancer and heart disease, can affect one's sex drive, as can conditions like depression and anxiety. A healthy sex drive is often an indicator of good overall health, both physical and mental.

Of course, there are both healthy and unhealthy people with either a very high or a very low sex drive, so it is possible to sit nearly anywhere on the spectrum and not have that be an indicate of health, but rather, just a personal taste. Some people need a lot of sex, while others need less of it, or none at all. In an age of increasing acceptance of all manner of sexual proclivities, even the idea of the non-sexual person has become more mainstream outside religious institutions where it may be, perhaps inaccurately, expected.

If you wonder where your sex drive stacks up when compared with everyone else, you are not alone. Most people worry about it, particularly because they have so few people they know enough about to compare themselves to. Then of course there is the matter of what shape that sex drive takes, but perhaps this is too much for us to get into here, because we'd have to charge you by the hour. In the meantime, take this quiz to find out how high your sex drive is!
