How the BDSM Purity Test Differs From the Rice Purity Test
The rice purity test has been circulating since long before most of its takers were born, and it works because it is a shared yardstick: a hundred items, mostly ordinary, and a score everyone knows how to read. Its problem, for anyone reading this page, is that it treats the entire BDSM world as a rounding error. Four or five items at the very bottom of the list stand in for everything from a first blindfold to a negotiated suspension, so anyone with a rope bag scores the same as anyone else with a rope bag.
This version starts where that one runs out. All 65 statements are kink-specific, and they are grouped into 9 categories that climb deliberately — curiosity and fantasy, then communication and consent, then sensation, restraint, power exchange, and out toward the edges. The first item is having searched online for what BDSM means. The last ones involve careful negotiation and an aftercare ritual. Because the whole range sits inside kink, the score separates people the rice purity test flattens.
The scoring convention is inherited unchanged, so the number reads the way you expect: your score is the percentage of statements you did not tick. High means early. Low means well-traveled.
How to Read Your BDSM Purity Score
There’s no passing grade, so the useful question isn’t what the number is — it’s what it suggests you do next. These are the same 6 bands the test itself hands you, with that part added.
- 90% and up — Pure & Curious
- The gap between here and anywhere else isn't nerve, it's vocabulary. Knowing the words for what you're curious about is what makes it askable out loud.
- 70–89% — Kink-Curious
- You've got a shortlist now, even if it's only in your head. Writing down what you'd say yes to is worth more at this point than trying anything new.
- 50–69% — Explorer
- The interesting problem changes shape here: not what to try next, but how to negotiate it properly with someone who wants it too.
- 30–49% — Experienced
- What's left on the list is mostly the stuff that needs real preparation — equipment, skill, an experienced partner, or all three. None of it rewards improvising.
- 10–29% — Seasoned
- You didn't need a checklist to tell you this. Where it earns its keep is as a diff: hand it to a partner and look only at the rows one of you ticked.
- Under 10% — Devotee
- The list has run out of things to ask you, which says more about the list than about you. Depth stopped being a matter of coverage a long way back.
What the Score Does Not Measure
Worth saying plainly, because a percentage invites you to read things into it that are not there. The score counts experiences. It cannot see whether any of them were negotiated, whether anyone had a safeword, whether the person you did them with was any good, or whether you would do them again. A low score can belong to somebody who has been reckless, and a high one to somebody who has been careful and patient and is having a better time than either.
It also is not a limits list, and it is worth not confusing the two. Ticking “tried impact play” says nothing about how hard, with what, on which part of you, or on what kind of day. That’s the conversation that actually keeps people safe, and it needs a different tool: the limits test walks 19 categories of activity, sorts each one into yes, maybe and hard no, and hands you a summary you can copy and send. Comparing purity scores is a fine way to open that conversation. It’s no substitute for having it.
And nothing on this page is a reason to go faster than you want to. The list escalates because lists have to be ordered somehow, not because the bottom of it is a destination.
BDSM Purity Test FAQs
What is the BDSM purity test?
The BDSM purity test is a BDSM-themed version of the classic rice purity test. You check off every experience you've had from a list, and your purity score is the percentage of things you haven't done. A higher score means less experience; a lower score means more.
How is the BDSM purity score calculated?
Your score is the percentage of items you did not check. If you've done half of the 65 experiences on the list, you'd score around 50%. There's no pass or fail — it's a snapshot for fun and self-reflection.
Is the BDSM purity test the same as the rice purity test?
No, and the difference is the whole point. The original rice purity test is a 100-item innocence checklist that spends most of its length on ordinary milestones — holding hands, skipping class, a first drink — with a handful of sexual items at the deep end. This one starts where that one stops. All 65 statements are kink-specific, arranged across 9 categories that escalate from "searched online to learn what BDSM means" to negotiated edge play, so the score actually discriminates between people who are all in the BDSM world rather than lumping them together at the bottom of a mostly-vanilla list.
How many questions are in the BDSM purity test?
65, grouped into 9 categories. Every one is a statement about something you have or haven't done, so there is nothing to interpret and no scale to place yourself on — you tick it or you leave it.
Is the BDSM purity score accurate?
It is accurate about exactly one thing: how many of these particular experiences you have had. It is a count, not a measurement, and it has no opinion on how good any of it was, how safe it was, or whether it was properly negotiated. A checklist cannot see any of that. Treat the number as a snapshot of where you are on a map, not a verdict on how well you have traveled.
Is a lower or higher purity score better?
Neither. A high score simply means you're earlier in your exploration, and a low score means you're more experienced. Both are completely valid — the test is just a playful way to reflect and compare with friends or a partner.
Is the BDSM purity test private?
Yes, and more so than most tests on this site. There is no account, nothing to sign up for, and your checkboxes are scored in your own browser — no answer you tick is ever transmitted to us, so there is no row anywhere recording what you have and haven't done. Beyond the ordinary page analytics every page here gets, all we see is that a purity test was started and finished — which is how we know whether the thing works at all. Your score is yours to share or not.
