Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Both Want
Getting Started
Both Want is a privacy-first intimacy compatibility app for couples. You and your partner independently answer questions about your desires, boundaries, and fantasies. The app reveals only what you BOTH want — mutual matches where you both said yes or maybe. It's a safe way to discover shared interests without fear of judgment.
Yes! The free tier includes Tier 1 quiz questions (Basics), one active partnership, basic match results, and limited journal entries. Premium ($4.99/month or $49.99/year) unlocks all 135 questions across 3 tiers, AI insights, unlimited journal, all challenges, and more.
Visit bothwant.com/sign-up and register with your email or Google account. You'll verify your age (18+ required), then complete a quick onboarding to set your profile preferences.
You must be 18 or older to use Both Want. Age verification is required during signup and cannot be bypassed.
Privacy & Security
No. Your individual answers are completely private. Both Want only reveals MUTUAL matches — questions where you BOTH answered yes or maybe. If you said yes to something but your partner said no, neither of you will ever see that mismatch. This is the core privacy promise of Both Want.
Never. We do not sell, share, or monetize your personal data or quiz responses. All data is encrypted at rest and in transit. Read our full privacy policy at bothwant.com/privacy.
Go to Settings → scroll to the bottom → 'Delete Account'. This permanently removes all your data including quiz responses, journal entries, and partnership information. This action cannot be undone.
Both Want is not a healthcare provider and is not subject to HIPAA. However, we follow industry-best security practices including encryption at rest, row-level security on all database tables, and strict access controls. See our security page for details.
Quiz & Matching
Currently 135 questions across 3 tiers: Tier 1 (Basics — 25 questions), Tier 2 (Desires & Fantasies — 55 questions), and Tier 3 (Kinks & Boundaries — 55 questions). New questions are added regularly, and Premium members can create custom questions.
Tier 1 covers foundational topics like communication and intimacy preferences. Tier 2 explores desires, fantasies, and curiosities. Tier 3 covers kinks, boundaries, and adventurous topics. Tiers unlock progressively as you complete questions — you need 80% of Tier 1 to unlock Tier 2, and 60% of Tier 2 to unlock Tier 3.
For each question, Both Want compares both partners' answers. If you both said 'yes' or both said 'maybe', it's a match. The Desire Map shows your compatibility percentage across 7 categories. The algorithm also factors in question type (scale questions use proximity scoring).
You can update your answers at any time by starting a new quiz session. Your previous responses are updated, and match results recalculate automatically.
A 'Both Want' result means both you and your partner expressed interest in the same thing. It's only shown when BOTH of you said yes or maybe. This ensures every revelation is mutual, safe, and exciting.
Partnerships
Go to the Partner page, tap 'Create Partnership', and share the invite code or QR code with your partner. They sign up, go to Partner → Join, and enter the code. You're now linked!
Currently, each account supports one active partnership at a time. This is by design — Both Want is built for focused, meaningful connection between two people.
Either partner can archive the partnership from Settings. Your individual profile and quiz history remain intact, but shared data (matches, bucket list) becomes inaccessible. You can start a new partnership with someone else.
Absolutely. Both Want is designed for all couples regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation, or relationship structure. Questions include orientation and relationship type filters so your experience is tailored to you.
