What “Masturbated with someone else in the room?” means

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 52 asks whether you have masturbated while another person was in the room. Unlike item 51 this describes a deliberate situation rather than an accident, and the other person's awareness is implied by the framing.

Where people disagree about what counts

Whether the other person had to be awake and aware is the usual question. A sleeping roommate is read as not counting by most takers, on the grounds that the item is describing a shared situation rather than a technicality of who was physically present.

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 52 fits with the items around it

Item 52 is the second half of the pair with item 51 and the last of the masturbation items. The checklist then moves to media at items 53 to 55, so 52 is the final item about a physical act before the list turns to images and messages.

Item 51, before this one Been caught masturbating? Item 53, after this one Watched pornographic material?

How it affects the score

Every question has the same one-point effect. Checking item 52 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 52

Does a sleeping roommate count for item 52?

Most takers say no. The item is generally read as describing a situation both people were aware of.

Is item 52 the same as mutual masturbation?

Not necessarily. The item asks only that someone else was in the room. Mutual acts are covered by items 16, 17 and 21.

Do items 51 and 52 both apply?

They can, if both situations have happened. One is accidental discovery and the other is deliberate.
