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 28 opens the setting block by asking about the time of day: whether you have had intercourse in the morning. It is one of the mildest items in the intercourse run, and it is included mainly to mark the difference between a single evening encounter and staying the night.

Where people disagree about what counts

"Morning" has no defined start or end. Most takers read it as after waking rather than as a clock range, which means an encounter that ran from late night into the early hours is generally not counted while one that began after sleeping is.

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 28 fits with the items around it

Item 28 is the first of eight consecutive setting items running to item 35. Together they are the clearest example of the checklist's core device: taking one act and generating many boxes from it by varying a single circumstance at a time.

Item 27, before this one Had sexual intercourse without a condom? Item 29, after this one Had sexual intercourse in a place other than a bed?

How it affects the score

Every question has the same one-point effect. Checking item 28 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 28

What counts as morning for item 28?

The checklist does not say. Most takers read it as after waking up rather than as a specific hour, so a night that ran past midnight is usually not counted.

Why does the time of day matter?

It does not matter to the score — the item is worth one point like all the others. It is on the list because the checklist deliberately generates several boxes from one act by varying the circumstances.

Which items are the other setting items?

Items 28 through 35 form the setting block: time of day, not in a bed, in a car, outdoors, in public, in water, in a residence hall, and with parents in the home.
