Adult and sensitive content

The full checklist is intended for adults aged 18 and over and includes explicit topics. You may leave any item unchecked, exit the test, or delete saved checks. An unchecked item is scored the same whether the experience did not occur or you preferred not to answer.

What the question is asking

Item 12 asks whether you have kissed, or been kissed on, the breast. Like several nearby items it is written reciprocally, so giving and receiving are covered by the same box. It is the first item on the checklist that describes contact with a part of the body normally covered by clothing.

Where people disagree about what counts

Takers differ on whether contact through clothing counts. The item does not say, and the general convention across the checklist is that an item describes direct contact unless it says otherwise — but the list never states this rule, so both readings persist.

The test is self-scored and nobody else ever sees your answer, so the only thing that matters is applying one reading consistently across the whole checklist.

How item 12 fits with the items around it

Items 12 and 13 are a matched pair, moving down the body and phrased identically apart from the location. They are also the bridge between the kissing sequence that started at item 5 and the explicitly sexual items that begin at item 15, which is why this is where many takers notice the list changing character.

Item 11, before this one Given or received a hickey? Item 13, after this one Kissed someone below the belt?

How it affects the score

Every question has the same one-point effect. Checking item 12 subtracts one point from the starting score of 100. Leaving it unchecked subtracts nothing, and no item on the checklist is weighted more heavily than any other.

Final score = 100 − total checked boxes

The final number never identifies this answer or any other individual answer — it is a count, so it discards which items were selected the moment it is calculated. Read the full scoring guide or look up an exact result on the 0–100 score chart.

Questions about item 12

Does item 12 cover both giving and receiving?

Yes. The wording is "kissed or been kissed", so a single box covers either role and you do not check it twice.

Does contact through clothing count?

The checklist does not say. Most takers read the item as describing direct contact, but the wording does not exclude the other reading.

Where does item 12 sit on the scale?

It is item 12 of 100, in the run where the checklist transitions from kissing to explicitly sexual contact. Like every other item it removes exactly one point.
