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 58 asks whether you have had a sexual encounter involving three people at once. It is the item people often mistake item 39 for, and it is the only place on the checklist where simultaneous multiple partners are asked about directly.

Where people disagree about what counts

Whether every person had to be actively involved is the usual question. An encounter where a third person was present but not participating is read by most takers as not qualifying, but the checklist does not define the term.

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 58 fits with the items around it

Items 58 and 59 are a graduated pair — three people, then a group — placed immediately after the BDSM item at 57. Item 39, forty places earlier, counts three or more partners over a lifetime and is frequently confused with this item.

Item 57, before this one Been involved in BDSM activities? Item 59, after this one Attended an orgy?

How it affects the score

Every question has the same one-point effect. Checking item 58 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 58

Is item 58 the same as item 39?

No. Item 39 is a lifetime count of three or more partners. Item 58 is three people in one encounter.

Does everyone have to be involved?

Most takers require active participation by all three. Someone simply being present is generally read as item 43's territory instead.

Do I check item 59 as well?

Only if the encounter involved a larger group. Item 59 describes an orgy, which is a step beyond three people.
