The couples quiz where no one goes first.

You each answer privately, from yes through to a firm no. What you both said yes or maybe to comes back. Boundaries you both selected can also appear. Every unmatched answer stays private.

No account. Nicknames are fine. Session answers expire after 30 days. See our privacy policy for retained purchase records.

01

Answer apart

Each of you answers alone. Your partner never sees your list.

02

Match together

Your shared yeses and maybes and the limits you both drew, revealed to you both at once.

03

Understand each other

Your interactive report helps couples understand boundaries, your shared interests, and each other’s preferences. You can even build a kinky date night from it.

04

A 30-day session

Session access expires after 30 days. Answers and stored reports are scheduled for deletion; purchase records remain.

Optional, after you match

Turn your matches into a plan

Seeing your shared list is free. The full report ($10) turns it into something you keep. You get two versions of the same results: a designed PDF to read or print, and an interactive version you open in a browser, where you can filter your matches, build a plan together, and put a date night in order. It works offline. Our stored report copy is scheduled for deletion after 30 days; your downloaded copies stay yours.

Why it works

Why answering apart works

What usually happens

Most conversations about sex stall in the same place. Someone has to say the thing out loud first, without knowing how it will land, and the risk in that moment keeps a lot of couples quiet for years. It is rarely about wanting different things. It is about who has to go first.

What happens here

Answering apart removes that. You each work through the same questions on your own, at your own pace, and the site compares the two sets for you. What comes back is what you both agreed on. Anything you answered differently stays private.

That is the difference between this and a sex quiz for couples you take side by side on the sofa. Nobody is watching you answer. Nobody has to be brave first.

The eight topics

  • The Basics95
  • B.D.S.M.40
  • Toys22
  • Anal19
  • Other19
  • Public17
  • Group16
  • Roleplay15

You choose which topics are switched on before you start. The basics are always included and everything else is opt in, so it works as a kink test for couples if that is what you want from it, and as a gentler intimacy questionnaire if it is not.

How far it goes

You also set how far it goes. Beginner stays at the gentle end, intermediate covers most of the middle, and advanced opens all of it. Anything outside what you chose is never shown to either of you.

Written for the two of you

Every question is written for your specific couple: your pronouns, your bodies, and the things that are actually possible between the two of you. Nothing arrives phrased for somebody else’s relationship.

The scale

Four answers, not two

  • Yes

    up for this, for sure

  • Maybe

    open to it, or curious

  • Rather not

    prefer not to; stays private

  • This is a No

    a boundary, and not one I want to move

Why four

Four options rather than a tick box, because a single no has to cover too much ground. The thing you have never considered and the thing you will never do are not the same answer.

How they meet

Yes and maybe both count as common ground, so a yes meeting a maybe is a match worth talking about. Rather not means you would prefer not to. It does not match, and stays private.

And a firm no

This is a no is a boundary. Only boundaries you both independently marked can appear. A boundary only one of you marked stays private.

The two of you

Who it is for

Two adults, in whatever shape your relationship takes. Couples who have been together long enough that the conversation went quiet, and couples early enough that it has not started yet. People who know exactly what they want and have never found the words, and people who genuinely do not know and would like somewhere to begin.

Only If You Do fits every kind of relationship, whatever your genders and bodies.

Common questions

Is it free?
Answering, matching, and seeing your shared list cost nothing. The full report is $10, decided after you have both answered and seen your matches. Repeat reports are $5 for 14 months.
Can my partner see my answers?
Only what you both landed on is revealed. The two exceptions are described above, and both need agreement from both of you.
Do we need an account?
No. There is nothing to sign up for and no profile that builds up. Nicknames are fine, and an email is only used to send the report.
Can we do it on one phone?
Yes. One of you answers and locks it in, then hands the phone over to a completely fresh screen.
How long does it take?
That depends on how much you switch on. The basics alone is 81 questions. All eight topics is 235.
