As you might guess, I've gotten quite a few emails about Sexploration, and I'd like to address some common questions and concerns. I think you'll see how helpful this one-of-a-kind test can be for anyone who wants to build a fulfilling relationship.

"A person's sexual nature is simply an extension of his or her broader personality."

Sexuality is obviously an integral part of who we are. And as part of your overall personality, your sexual attitudes and preferences naturally play a major role in your relationships. The main purpose of Sexploration is to provide you with scientific, dependable information about yourself and others, so that you'll know how to communicate successfully.

And come on: It's old news that effective communication is the cornerstone of healthy relationships, right?

Sexploration is scientifically validated. During the course of the research that produced Sexploration, the TRUE team identified eight sex personality types, which are determined by three main factors:

• Your general attitudes about sex.
• What you like to do.
• What you like your partner to do.

Our dynamic test measures these factors and how they relate to each other, which determines which of the eight sex categories you fit into. None of these types is better or healthier than any others – they're simply different, and variety is the spice of life! Here are the basic descriptions of the types, as well as which types each one is generally most compatible with:

• The Traditionalist. Don't let the name fool you! Traditionalists are full of heat that so far they've released in pretty standard ways. When it comes to sex, they're comfortable doing it, comfortable talking about it and good at listening to what their partner wants. Traditionalists do well with every sex type with a little work, but naturally partner best with other Traditionalists, Introverts and Intellectuals.
• The Introvert. Introverts like physical intimacy, but they are a little shy about starting sex. Introverts are most compatible sexually with Traditionalists, Initiators and Contradictors, although Introverts can work well with every other sex type.
• The Contradictor. Contradictors seem reserved and conservative, but inside, they're wildcats. They tend to be sexually dominant and prefer their partner to show a mutual interest. Contradictors can do well with every sex type with a little work, but they naturally partner best with other Contradictors, Subservients and Mavericks.
• The Fantasizer. Fantasizers love to talk and dream about sex, but when they get behind closed doors, just watch them put those dreams into action. Fantasizers get busy best with other Fantasizers, but they generate some serious heat with Mavericks and Initiators.
• The Intellectual. Intellectuals are comfortable talking, thinking and analyzing the idea of sex, but they generally don't move into the provocative side in practice. Intellectuals find their best partner in other Intellectuals, but they also work well with Traditionalists and Subservients. Intellectuals can also have steamy passion with the other five sex types, if they work at it.
• The Subservient. Subservients are submissive, but with an attitude: They know what it takes to get the job done, but they want their partner to do the heavy lifting. Subservients are curious and willing to explore, and once things get going they'll work just as hard to make sure their partner is satisfied. Subservients are most compatible with Initiators, Contradictors and Mavericks.
• The Initiator. Initiators like to lead, rather than follow. They're up-front about telling their partner what they need, how to do it and for how long. Initiators push themselves to find new ways to take a walk on the wild side. Initiators find their best partner in Subservients, but they also work well with Introverts and Fantasizers.
• The Maverick. Mavericks are provocative, adventurous and uninhibited. They're the Indiana Jones of the bedroom — or anyplace else they decide to have sex. If they hear about it, they'll probably try it. Mavericks like their partners to be mutually aggressive and experimental. Mavericks are most compatible with other Mavericks, Fantasizers and Subservients.

In case you're wondering if your Sexploration results can really be valid and relevant, let me assure you that this is no funny, frivolous little quiz you'd take just for fun, although it IS fun! Sexploration is endorsed by Psychology Today.

That basically means that Sexploration, in the eyes of the experts, is the real deal. For more detailed information about the research that produced Sexploration, click here.

Sexploration is fun, and it's personalized. By using adaptive testing technology (a state-of-the-art technology not used by any other relationship site, I might add!), Sexploration determines which questions to ask based on your responses to previous questions. The result: a dynamic testing experience that's different for every taker!

I know, I know. You can't wait to take the test, can you? Well, here are a couple more reasons to get with it, just in case you're still a little wary.

Sexploration is smart and savvy. You're not shallow, silly or selfish when you want more information and self-awareness about sex and sexuality. It's smart to evaluate a potential partner in terms of how well you'll hit if off when the lights go out. Attraction and chemistry are important – where would a relationship go without a spark to ignite the engine? So there's no need to feel shameful or hesitant.

Sexploration is free. And you can't argue with that!
