The Lowdown: You are turned on by novelty and experimentation: new sex acts, interesting locations, unique toys, and novel contexts.
The Partner’s Job: When you are with an Experimentalist, your job is to bring openness and courage to try new things. Ask for what you need to feel safe exploring and bring your creativity and imagination to the dynamic.

* We also recorded data from Americans who identified as pansexual, asexual, and (separately) nonbinary, but each of these identifications was so small as to be less than half of our margin of error, so we’re not including this data due to the potential for misrepresenting their views.

Standout Signs: Capricorn & Leo
What experimentalists fantasize about:
“Nasty women are way better than just a normal woman who just wants to do some missionary. I like someone who is able to explore. I've always wanted to have sex in some weird places. If I'm going mountain climbing or to the beach, I feel like they're the best places to have sex. I believe having sex in locations [other than] your bed is fun because you explore different positions.”
- Experimentalist, to us
“He is very shy and used to very vanilla sex, same positions, same place, same time. I order a new sex machine online and beg him to experience it with me. I want to explore a little voyeuristic fun and decide to plug it in on the porch at night instead of indoors behind closed doors. He is reluctant at first, but once he sees how wet I get in anticipation he forgets where he is. As the machine pumps inside of me faster and faster and my moans deepen, I see him get rock hard and eyes wide as he watches me squirt all over the porch.”

“We are at an event. We sneak off to an adjacent location, but still could be discovered by others accidentally. It's thrilling. We kiss and start exploring each other's bodies with our hands and tongues. We suck each other almost till climax, then slowly start fucking missionary, then doggy style. Then I’m on top, flipping front-facing to rear-facing. Stop. Suck each other again, then rush to fuck again. This time standing, him fucking me from behind, playing with my clit until we climax in seconds, then return to the event.”

“To start off, touch me in places I’ve never been touched before, slowly make my nipples hard before you pull below and lick between my legs”
- Experimentalist, to us (34, Woman, Heterosexual, Crewmember)
“Don't be afraid of trying new things, do not be embarrassed about anything. The worst I can do is say no to something and we move on to the next.”
