59%. Meh. Some of the questions weren’t clear on how they should be answered.

28%. I guess I’m not that surprised it’s that high, as I’ve got some fairly liberal attitudes towards sex, but in terms of what I’ve actually _done_ that’s pretty high. 🙂

And yeah, some of the questions were a bit unclear.

Another 59%. Lots of questions that would be answered differently if I wasn’t happily married.

I’m 45% slut even though I haven’t had sex in over two years. Things must be a lot different these days than they were when I was in college twenty years ago.

Apparently a large number of the test takers are very inexperienced. Note that the test is normalized (marked on the curve), and that only 43% of all test takers have ever even had sex. So if you are not a virgin, you are already ahead of the curve.

Which may explain why I scored 62%.

It’s the _Ann Landers sex test_ dressed up for the Internet. It was better 30 years ago. Whoop-dee-do.

Whew, that makes me feel a little better about my own **73%**. :o

I think I earned a couple extra slut points for needing that clarification.

29% 😕  
That’s pretty high, for me. I figured I’d get about the same as lavenderviolet or lower. Oh well, at least this test isn’t an official scientific poll or anything.

50%.

Just three short years ago I scored a 6 (out of 100) on the purity test. Four years ago I think I scored a 2.

Do any of you sort of object to the idea that your thoughts and attitudes, rather than your actions, can contribute to your sluttyness quotient? I mean, if I had done a tenth of the things I’ve thought of, I’d be a very. naughty. boy. But, because I never had the balls (figuratively, now, figuratively) to do most of it (nor the snacky good looks to facilitate persuasion), I really never walked the slut walk to any remarkable degree. What use to the slut are dirty thoughts if he/she can’t or won’t act on them?

67% And I’m not doing anything right now…what are _you_ doing? And what are you wearing?

I scored 59% slut by volume.

My favorite part of the test was the question about age at the beginning, followed by “Legally, you need to be at least 13 to be a slut.”

47%

Gotta say, little dissapointed. Always thought I was a bit of a bigger slut than that… 😃

That’s why I’m surprised that I’m only 45% slut. The curve must be exponential… :dubious:
