The EROS Quotient

Knowledge is Pleasure™.

A research-grounded assessment of your erotic identity. Take it alone — or bring a partner and go deeper together.

You have an erotic culture — a set of beliefs, patterns, and possibilities that are entirely your own. Most people sense there is more to discover. The EROS-Q gives you the language and the map: a private profile of your erotic identity, with the option to compare with a partner when you're ready.

Complete the EROS-Q on your own. Receive your personal EROS Quotient. Invite a partner whenever you're ready.

Process

How it works

01

Request early access

We're opening access to 100 individuals. Claim your spot and we'll send you a personal assessment link right away.

02

Complete on your own

Take the EROS-Q independently, without a partner. 53 items across six domains, plus open-ended reflections. Most people finish in 20–25 minutes.

03

Receive your personal EROS Quotient

As soon as you submit, you receive your individual EROS Quotient — a private profile of your erotic identity, values, and orientation. Yours alone.

04

Bring a partner (optional)

When you're ready, invite a partner to take their own assessment. Once both are complete, a shared Couples EROS Quotient is generated — a map of where you align, diverge, and have the most to explore together.

From a sample report — On your own

“This week, try a small experiment: in the first quiet moment of your day — before the to-do list takes over — notice what you actually want. Not what you need to do. What you want. It doesn't need to be sexual. Erotic identity lives in small wants as much as large ones. Write it down if that helps. Do it for three days. See what you notice.”

Research-grounded insight

The EROS-Q draws on peer-reviewed research across six dimensions of intimacy culture: meaning, novelty, communication, initiation, context, and growth orientation.

“Individuals who develop awareness of their own sexual needs and desires — and who are willing to communicate them openly — report significantly higher levels of sexual satisfaction and relationship quality than those who do not.”

Grounded in research

The EROS-Q is built on peer-reviewed research in relationship science, sexual communication, and self-expansion theory.

Each of the six domains maps to a body of empirical literature on what predicts sustained sexual satisfaction, desire, and intimacy in long-term couples.

The instrument is designed for educational and self-guided use. It is not a clinical diagnostic tool. For clinical sexual dysfunction, desire disorders, or trauma history, we recommend consultation with a licensed sex therapist.
