Sex Quiz
Questions: 16 · 10 minutes
1. An external condom breaks during vaginal sex. What response best recognizes the possible time-sensitive concerns?
If pregnancy is possible, consider emergency contraception promptly and contact a healthcare or sexual-health service for STI and HIV guidance
Wait for symptoms before doing anything, since testing is inaccurate without them
Use two condoms together next time; no action is useful after the break
Douche or wash internally as soon as possible to prevent pregnancy and infection
2. What is true about physical signs such as lubrication, erection, or orgasm?
They always show that a person wants the sexual activity
They can occur automatically and do not, by themselves, demonstrate desire or consent
They prove emotional readiness even when the person expresses uncertainty
They indicate consent reliably, but only in an established relationship
3. What is the main sexual-health benefit of HPV vaccination?
It is useful only after a person develops visible genital warts
It cures all existing HPV infections and removes the need for screening
It prevents every sexually transmitted infection except HIV
It helps prevent infection from HPV types responsible for many cancers and genital warts, but does not treat an existing infection
4. A couple wants sex to feel better for both partners, but one person rarely enjoys penetration. What is the most useful next step?
Make penetration last longer so their body has more time to adjust
Assume they need to relax and avoid discussing it during sex
Talk openly about preferred touch, pacing, lubrication, boundaries, and other enjoyable activities
Repeat the same approach more often so it becomes familiar
5. What does HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis, commonly called PrEP, do when taken as prescribed?
Prevents pregnancy and all common sexually transmitted infections
Eliminates the need for HIV testing or follow-up care
Treats any sexually transmitted infection immediately after exposure
Greatly reduces the chance of acquiring HIV, but does not prevent pregnancy or other STIs
6. A person is so intoxicated that they cannot follow the conversation or clearly communicate choices. What should a potential partner do?
Ask for a quick yes and proceed if they nod
Do not initiate sexual activity; wait until the person can make and communicate a clear, voluntary decision
Proceed only with activities they have agreed to on previous occasions
Let a friend decide whether the person seems willing enough
7. Someone repeatedly experiences pain during sex. What is the most appropriate response?
Continue gently so the body gradually becomes accustomed to the sensation
Use numbing medication so discomfort does not interrupt sex
Pause or stop, communicate about comfort, and seek healthcare guidance if pain persists or is concerning
Ignore it unless there is visible bleeding, because pain is usually expected
8. After sex with a new partner, neither person has symptoms. What is the soundest approach to STI testing?
Testing is unnecessary unless visible symptoms develop
Wait until a future partner requests testing, since symptom-free infections are not transmissible
Test immediately once; a negative result always rules out every recent infection
Consider testing based on the exposure and appropriate test timing, because many STIs can have no symptoms
9. Which statement about withdrawal before ejaculation is most accurate?
It prevents pregnancy reliably whenever ejaculation happens outside the vagina
It may reduce pregnancy likelihood compared with no method, but is less reliable than many contraceptives and does not prevent STIs
It prevents most STIs because semen does not enter the body
It is as effective as an intrauterine device when timed carefully
10. Which option can reduce STI transmission risk during oral contact with a vulva or anus?
Using hormonal contraception before oral sex
Using a dental dam or a new external condom cut open into a flat barrier
Avoiding food for an hour before sexual activity
Rinsing with mouthwash immediately after contact
11. Which statement about genital herpes transmission is accurate?
Transmission can occur without visible sores, and barriers can reduce but not eliminate the chance
A person cannot transmit herpes if they have never noticed symptoms
Transmission is possible only while visible sores are present
External condoms completely prevent transmission whenever they are used correctly
12. Which lubricant choice is generally appropriate with a latex external condom?
A water- or silicone-based lubricant labeled as compatible with condoms
Petroleum jelly, because it reduces friction for the longest time
Massage oil, because natural oils protect latex
Any oil-based lotion, provided only a small amount is used
13. Someone takes a birth-control pill correctly and consistently. What protection does the pill provide?
Protection against pregnancy and most sexually transmitted infections
Protection against sexually transmitted infections, but not pregnancy
Complete pregnancy prevention, so missed periods never need follow-up
Strong pregnancy prevention when used correctly, but no protection against STIs
14. While putting on an external condom, someone places it on the wrong way and it will not roll down. What should they do?
Turn it over and continue using it, because no penetration has occurred
Rinse it, turn it over, and add lubricant
Discard it and use a new condom, since genital fluid may have contacted the tip
Place a second condom over it to seal in any fluid
15. A couple wants both stronger pregnancy prevention and reduced STI exposure during vaginal sex. Which plan best addresses both goals?
Use hormonal contraception alone and test only if symptoms appear
Use an external condom only near ejaculation and rely on withdrawal first
Use an external or internal condom correctly throughout sex and, if desired, combine it with an effective contraceptive method
Use two external condoms together for additional protection
16. During sexual activity, a partner who agreed earlier becomes quiet, tense, and stops responding. What is the most consent-aware response?
Pause immediately and check whether they want to stop, continue, or take a break
Continue slowly because they already agreed at the beginning
Wait for them to say “no” before changing anything
Switch activities without asking, in case the current one is uncomfortable
