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 19 asks about mutual, simultaneous oral sex — the position the number sixty-nine refers to. It is the only item on the checklist named after a number rather than described, which is why it is one of the most looked-up items on the list and why it collides with the perfectly ordinary score of 69.

Where people disagree about what counts

There is essentially no ambiguity about the act itself. The only confusion this item creates is with the score: a Rice Purity score of 69 has nothing to do with item 19, and simply means 31 of the 100 boxes were checked.

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 19 fits with the items around it

Item 19 closes the short run that began at 17 by taking item 18 and making it mutual. It is the last item in the sequence before the checklist returns to more general contact at items 20 and 21, so it functions as the peak of a small arc rather than a step on a continuous ladder.

Item 18, before this one Had or given oral sex? Item 20, after this one Been felt up?

How it affects the score

Every question has the same one-point effect. Checking item 19 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 19

What does item 19 mean on the Rice Purity Test?

It asks about mutual, simultaneous oral sex. The number is the name of the position, and the item is the only one on the checklist identified by a number rather than described in words.

Does a score of 69 have anything to do with question 19?

No. A score of 69 simply means 31 of the 100 items were checked. The coincidence of the numbers is exactly that.

Do I check item 18 as well if I check item 19?

Almost always yes, since item 19 describes a mutual version of the act item 18 covers. Each is still worth its own separate point.
