What “Kissed a non-family member on the lips?” means
Item 6 on the 100-question Rice Purity Test reads “Kissed a non-family member on the lips?”. 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 6 narrows item 5 by one condition: it asks whether a kiss with a non-family member landed on the lips. It is the item that separates a cheek kiss or a forehead kiss from a mouth kiss, and for most takers it is the first unambiguously romantic box on the checklist.
Where people disagree about what counts
There is very little disagreement about what a kiss on the lips is. The only recurring question is about a quick peck — a truth-or-dare kiss, a New Year's kiss, a stage kiss in a school play. The item's plain wording covers all of them, since it asks about the physical act and attaches no requirement that the kiss was wanted, romantic, or memorable.
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 6 fits with the items around it
Item 6 is the second rung of the kissing ladder that runs from item 5 to item 8. It is the point where the checklist stops describing affection in general and starts describing romantic contact, and it is the last item in the sequence that a taker can check without the answer implying anything about depth or duration.
How it affects the score
Every question has the same one-point effect. Checking item 6 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.
