Sexual · Question 46 of 100

What “Had sexual intercourse with someone whose face you never saw?” means

Item 46 on the 100-question Rice Purity Test reads “Had sexual intercourse with someone whose face you never saw?”. Here is what the wording covers, where readers reasonably disagree about it, and exactly how much it moves your score.

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 46 asks whether you have had intercourse with someone whose face you never saw. It is the most extreme anonymity item on the checklist and the final item in the twenty-five-item run that builds on item 22.

Where people disagree about what counts

The item is rarely checked and rarely disputed, mostly because the situations it describes — complete darkness, a mask, a blindfold — are narrow and unmistakable. The one question raised is whether a blindfold you chose to wear counts, and the plain wording says it does, since the item asks only whether the face was seen.

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 46 fits with the items around it

Item 46 closes both the anonymity pair with item 45 and the entire intercourse run that began at item 22. The checklist then changes direction completely at item 47 and starts covering acts and experiences that stand on their own.

Item 45, before this one Had sexual intercourse with someone you didn't know their name? Item 47, after this one Had anal sex?

How it affects the score

Every question has the same one-point effect. Checking item 46 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 46

Does a blindfold count for item 46?

Under the plain wording, yes. The item asks whether you saw the face, not why you did not.

Is item 46 the rarest item on the checklist?

It is among the least commonly checked, along with items 59 and 74. The checklist includes a handful of deliberately extreme items at the far end of each category.

Where does the intercourse run end?

Here. Items 22 to 46 are one continuous block built on item 22, and the checklist changes subject at item 47.
