Arousal Architecture™ Assessment
How to Take the Arousal Architecture™ Assessment + What To Expect
1. Set Aside Time For Yourself.
The assessment takes only about 10 minutes to complete.
Invest this brief time and unlock a world of understanding about your unique desires and new possibilities.
2. Answer Authentically.
Respond to the questions to the best of your ability.
Even if a question doesn’t seem to fit your lived experience, trust that it's intentionally designed to provide you with the most acurate and personalized results.
If a question feels challenging, take a deep breath and answer from your heart.
If a question refers to an unfamiliar situation, answer based on how you think you would feel in that scenario, what you've heard from others, or what you've read about.
For example, if you've never had an orgasm but encounter a question about them, reflect on how you imagine your future self would respond after learning to orgasm.
3. Save Your Results.
You will be emailed a copy of your total results, but we don't send or store your answers to the questions for privacy reasons, so be sure to save your results page as a PDF. Don't worry, you'll get a reminder about this again.
Saving your results page as a PDF before navigating away from the results screen at the end will help you have more profound insights and meaningful conversations.
4. Expand Your Therapeutic or Healing Journey.
Use the bonus e-book to apply what you've learned and explore deeper with your partner, sex therapist, or specialized intimacy coach.
Talking through how you feel about your results is a great way to facilitate conversations about sex with confidence.

🤓 Knowing your Arousal Architecture™ Design will help you:
✓ Discover untapped arousal resources
✓ Learn surprising ways to turn on your partner
✓ Express intimate needs & desires better
✓ Open up new possibilities for better connection
✓ Achieve more satisfying sexual experiences
The goal of the Arousal Architecture™ is to undo the beliefs that we all get turned on similarly.
You might need the dishes washed, good conversation, or the room temperature at a certain level before you can even think about getting turned on. And that’s 💯 NORMAL.
The answers you need to understand your sexual arousal system better are in your Arousal Architecture™ Design.
And armed with the eBook I sent you, it will all become clearer.
📖 Here’s a quick overview of the Arousal Architecture™
Then check out the eBook in your inbox for more powerful info and action steps.
What is the Arousal Architecture™?
It’s a new way of looking at arousal from a science-based, somatic, and expansive lens for people who know that the “usual ways” of getting turned on just don’t work for them.
Each “size” of the Arousal Dimension tells us how important that particular dimension is to you to become aroused (the higher the number, the more important that aspect is to your Arousal Potential).
Don’t get caught up in judging yourself based on the results – there’s no perfect answer! Only knowledge.
What are the different Dimensions of the Arousal Architecture™?
Great question.
Read on for a little bit on each Dimension.
Then, check your workbook for examples and interventions for each Dimension.
Wait… “Interventions”???
Yes. You might not like that some of your Dimensions are at the level they’re at.
For instance, someone who thinks that they focus too much on Sexual Stimulation and would like to develop other paths to pleasure and arousal, like Energetic Connection.
They could use the interventions found in the workbook to help them with that.
Also, an intervention can help you identify more things to help you feel more comfortable and connected to your arousal system.
Our team of Specialists can also help with expertly crafted interventions for a more satisfying sex life.

Ok, so tell me about these Dimensions…
❤️🔥 Sexual Stimulation:
These are the ways that are commonly considered to turn someone on (even if that's not completely true for you). They are the explicit sexual actions, thoughts, feelings, and desires. This tells us how important straightforward sexual acts are in actually getting you aroused.
🧘 Embodied Experiences:
This Dimension is about aspects of relating to yourself and others in a way that helps you feel “embodied” — bringing awareness to the present moment and being aware of your body, needs, energy levels, and moods.
🧠 Mental Headspace:
This is about how important the quality of your state of mind is so that arousal can be activated or reached. You can think about it as the kind of “headspace” that will open up the path to arousal.
🫂 Energetic Connection:
This Arousal Dimension relates to the emotional, energetic, or intimate connection someone needs for arousal. This usually concerns another person or a partner, but it could also relate to having an energetic or intimate connection with ourselves or spiritual wellness.
💋 Erotic Exploration:
This Arousal Dimension contains the things that are not typically included in society’s understanding of “normal” sexuality but are actually highly important (and healthy) to a lot of people’s arousal needs. Whether they realize it or not.
There can be a wide range of aspects to the Erotic Dimension from something as “mild” as trying new sexual positions to the “wild,” such as engaging in BDSM (bondage, discipline, domination, submission, sadomasochism). This Dimension is about things that might actually push up against comfort zones in healthy and exciting ways. Think of this as playing with your Sensual and Sexual Edge.
Overwhelmed? We can help.
The Arousal Architecture™ assessment and design aren't like those "take-a-quiz-and-I'll-tell-you-things-about-yourself-to-get-you-on-my-email-list" gimmicks.
This is a high-quality, clinically developed, and science-based assessment created by the Founder & CEO of Sex, Answered, Kayna Cassard. She’s also a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Sex Therapist, and The Painful Sex Expert. So she gets it.
Kayna developed this model because her clients kept telling her how disappointed they were with the current "sexual archetype" models. They had been struggling with sex for so long that they didn't know what aroused them anymore (or ever). Trying to fit in some overtly sexual model only made them feel worse.
Having been a pelvic pain patient and struggling with low arousal herself, Kayna overcame her sexual barriers and set out to create something to help her clients understand their arousal system and desires in more concrete ways that they could relate to.
It was a huge success! Not only did her sexual anxiety and painful sex clients find this incredibly helpful, but so did their partners and friends!
Kayna took this model on the road and presented it worldwide and online to professionals and fellow sex nerds.
And… drumroll please… we’re thrilled to announce that in 2025, it will be a published book you can buy online and in bookstores! Keep an eye out for it in your inbox when we launch next year.
