Are You Comfortable Playing Poolside?
"Poolside play" at a lifestyle resort means everything from making out in a daybed to full scenes in a designated cabana. Different resorts (and different sections of the same resort) have very different norms. This quiz checks where your line is and whether you and your partner are aligned.

Scoring
For each answer, A = 3, B = 2, C = 1, D = 0. Add up your total (max 15).
Your result
- 12-15 — Yes — pick the right resort and you'll thrive. Resorts with formal poolside-play norms (Desire RM, Hedonism nude side) will fit you. Read the resort's posted rules before arrival and follow staff cues during the day.
- 8-11 — Cabana-with-curtains is your lane. Stick to private cabanas (most resorts have them) for the first poolside scene. Once you've done one and felt fine, the open-deck spaces become a smaller leap.
- 4-7 — Suite-only this trip. Poolside play isn't a fit yet. The suite + a quiet evening on the patio is its own great trip. There's no pressure to use the public spaces.
- 0-3 — Skip poolside-play resorts. Pick a clothing-optional resort with no public-play norms (or pick a non-lifestyle resort entirely). The poolside-play question shouldn't be on the table for this trip.
