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 31 asks whether you have had intercourse outdoors — outside any building. The item is about being outside rather than about being seen, which is the distinction that separates it from item 32.

Where people disagree about what counts

Partly enclosed spaces are the grey area: a balcony, a tent, a covered porch, a garden shed. Takers who read the item strictly require open air; those who read it loosely count anywhere outside the walls of a house. The checklist offers nothing to settle it.

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 31 fits with the items around it

Item 31 sits between the car at 30 and the public setting at 32, and the three are frequently confused because they overlap. Outdoors is about location, public is about visibility, and a car is about the space itself — a single encounter can satisfy all three or only one.

Item 30, before this one Had sexual intercourse in a car? Item 32, after this one Had sexual intercourse in public?

How it affects the score

Every question has the same one-point effect. Checking item 31 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 31

Does a tent count as outdoors?

Takers split on this. A tent is outside a building but not in the open air, and the checklist does not define which reading applies.

How is item 31 different from item 32?

Item 31 is about being outside. Item 32 is about being somewhere other people could see you. A secluded field satisfies 31 but usually not 32.

Does a private garden count?

Under the plain wording, yes — it is outdoors. Whether it also counts as public depends on whether anyone could see in.
