==Attitude towards sex, alcohol and drugs==
Even though Quinn refuses to be tied down to one guy (for reasons of wanting multiple men to serve as proverbial slaves to her every whim), and is perfectly comfortable flirting with other guys while on dates and stealing other girls' boyfriends, Quinn is rather conservative in terms of sex itself. She has on multiple occasions avoided or rejected thesexually sexualsuggestive advances of older men,activity and wasthe quiteadvances shockedof when she believed that Daria had lost her virginity to her boyfriend [[Tom Sloane]]men.
 
Throughout the series, Quinn is frequently the target of solicitation by adults (who know better). In the episode "[[This Year's Model]]", Quinn grows uneasy as [[Claude]] and [[Romonica DeGregory|Romonica]] solicit Quinn's modeling class into doing sexually suggestive activity, such as when Claude instructs the boys to take their shirts off and have the girls rub the boys' chests. Quinn understandably tries to find a way out of the situation by asking if she can go to the bathroom, but when Romonica tries to entrap Quinn by asking her if that's what she's really feeling, Quinn panics and leaves. In the episode "[[I Don't]]", Quinn strikes up a conversation with the minister, who is clearly attempting to solicit her, although Quinn does not realize it. Luckily, [[Garrett]] finds Quinn, realizes what the minister is trying to do, and engages in a fistfight with the latter. When [[Joey]], [[Jeffy]] and [[Jamie White|Jamie]] try to dance with Quinn in the episode "[[Daria Dance Party]]", Quinn rebuffs the three and explains that she does not slow dance until "at least the fifth date.
When asked whether Quinn was sexually active during the series, [[Glenn Eichler]] replied, "Quinn, no. She was all about attracting guys, not acting on it. Plus Quinn would tend to think of her virginity as currency, a currency she wasn't going to spend until she got a REALLY good exchange rate. (I'm not saying Quinn would maintain this attitude as she matured; this is sophomore-junior Quinn I'm talking about.)"

Pertinent comments about the show's creator's views on Quinn and sex appear in two fan-conducted interviews on [[DVDaria]].
 
In terms of how she views Daria, Quinn was quite shocked when she believed that Daria had lost her virginity to her boyfriend [[Tom Sloane]].
 
Quinn was never known to be using alcohol or drugs. However, she once threw a keg party when her parents were out ("[[Gifted]]") and was elected "keg queen" by a frat house during a college tour ("[[College Bored]]"). Quinn has also been to a number of bars on dates ("[[Speedtrapped]]"). However, she also declined a chance to drink underage and was very concerned about her friend [[Lindy]]'s apparent alcoholism in "[[Is It College Yet?]]", even at the risk of driving her away and ending their friendship.
