About This Quiz

Have you wondered why you act and think so differently when aroused? You're not alone. Sexual tension and desire can plunge us into a different age group altogether. We're not saying you're immature. We're not saying you're super adult. Or old ... er, we take that back. That's exactly what we're saying. When someone turns you on, chances are your mental age is totally different from your actual digits.

We know you change. You know you change. But just how old are you really when aroused? Do you find yourself thinking in ways that make you wonder what's gotten into you? Say, all of a sudden, you want to slam someone against the wall while singing "Pump up the Jam" or, alternatively, you swoon and imagine waltzing with them under the moon. You might even get sloppy and downright silly, 'cause really, you're a teenie when you've got the hots for someone, reverting into your middle-school and high-school teenage crushing self. 

There are various ages in between, of course, where you might find yourself. We're going to ask you a few questions that will help pinpoint just what that age is by the way you react to sexual stimulating now. Ready to know just how old you are under spicy circumstances? Then what are you waiting for? Let's get started.
