The BDSM test circulating TikTok was created in 2014 to determine 'what level of kinkster you are,' the website states. For this reason, kink exists on a spectrum - and what that spectrum looks like is entirely up to you and your individual preferences. For others, being tied up in a BDSM fantasy might be kinky. For one person, having doggy-style sex in broad daylight might be considered kinky. Of course, this is going to look different depending on the person you ask.

So what, exactly, is kink? Merriam-Webster defines the term as an 'unconventional sexual taste or behaviour,' but Carol Queen, PhD, sexologist for sex-toy retailer Good Vibrations, adds that kink generally references any sexual interest that is 'at some distance from normative ideas about what sex is or should be.' Also called a BDSM test, BDSM quiz, or a kink quiz, the kink test asks you to answer a questionnaire to help you determine your 'kinkiness.' Recently, though, a 'kink test' has been floating around TikTok, with many content creators touting their 'nonvanilla' results. Many people choose to improve their sex lives by dipping their toe into the world of kink - and that can look like anything from bringing a new toy into the bedroom to experimenting with a praise kink.

Kinkiness is more of a spectrum than a black-and-white classification.
