A new scientific quiz can reveal how 'kinky' you really are amid ongoing studies surrounding sexual behavior.

Sexual studies are certainly not few and far between, with the vast majority of them shedding new light on activities in the bedroom.

Well, a brand new sex study is now providing curious individuals the opportunity to measure their personal level of kink.

But first, what does the term kink actually mean?

The dictionary describes it as "unconventional sexual preferences or behavior collectively."

Examples of such include the exchange of power, aka domination/submission, while those who are kinky may also decide to experiment with multiple partners.

Researchers at the University of Brighton in the UK have been working on a study about kinks in recent times.

The latest report, which has been published in the Journal of Sex Research, lifts the lid on the stigma surrounding kink.

Researchers came up with the Kink Orientation Scale, which they hope can encourage more inclusive studies in the coming years.

Typically, sexual studies rely on those who have identified themselves as 'kinky' rather than folks who may just be interested in the idea.

Those hoping to be involved can do so pretty easily as there are only 18 questions in the survey.

The test is focused on five areas of kinkiness: Identity, paraphernalia, community, practices and communication.

Once completed, you will then be ranked on a 90-point scale, with the greater the number, the more kinky you supposedly are.

The kinky scale is available on PsyPost.org, if you are curious enough.

As for other research done in the same area, a study conducted this year revealed that being choked during sex could lead to brain damage.

The study conducted by sexual and reproductive health researcher, Dr. Debby Herbinick, found women who had been choked four times in the last 30 days experienced cognitive changes which impacted their memory.

The study stated: "While unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections remain important public health issues, recent studies identified that sexual choking/strangulation or choking a partner during sex, which is a form of manual or ligature strangulation, has become prevalent among adolescents and young adults, disproportionally affecting women."

The study went on to say that people engage in choking during sex due to the 'pleasant or euphoric feeling' resulting from the return of blood flow and oxygen to the brain after the choking finishes.

However, you really don't want to be trying it.
