I was not in class on Tuesday, but my roommate, Melissa, came home and started telling me about class. She mentioned the Rice Purity Test (RPT) and I perked up and shouted “I’ve taken that before!” I think the first time I took the RPT was in high school, sitting in a circle with my friends, passing around a laptop and giggling while comparing our scores. I am 100% positive my score was HIIIGGGGHHH back then, but now not so much.
My RPT score, as of Tuesday night, is a…. I’m almost scared to admit it… it’s a 14. Cue Nelly Furtado and Timbaland
Until April of 2017, my score would have been much higher, but in April of 2017 I suffered one of the biggest heartbreaks so far in my life. That “first love” breakup, high school sweethearts, he was the 3rd person I was sexually active with. And then we broke up. And I went flying off the handle, as you can see by my score of 14. I was “free” for the first time since I started college and I just wanted to explore and get a taste of everything that was out there to experience. Who could blame me?
Instead of talking about the 86 (WOW) things on the list I have done, I wanna talk about the 14 points I didn’t get and why I haven’t explored, or why I am choosing to never go near some of those things. I went back into the test and selected instead, the one’s that I have not done and we’ll start with drug use. I have never done methamphetamine, crack cocaine, PCP, horse tranquilizers, or heroin. I have a strong stance against synthetic drugs, and I believe that you should never put them in your body. To the degree that I RARELY even take painkillers. If it’s not a natural substance, it’s not for me.
One that I have not done yet but I would LOVE to do at some point in my life is see a stripper! I have never seen a stripper in person! Shocking, I’m sure, for someone with a score of 14, but the opportunity just hasn’t presented itself yet.
I have never had the police handcuff me, been arrested, been convicted of a crime, or a felony. All things I would say I am very proud of. Definitely things I do not want to change. Continuing on, I have never joined the mile high club, unless you count foreplay, but I’ve been told by multiple people that it doesn’t count. Joining the mile high club isn’t necessarily something I am dying to do. I’m pretty claustrophobic and having intercourse in an airplane bathroom does not sound ideal to me.
I have never had sex with a virgin and I have never had anal sex. I would have sex with a virgin, depending on the person. Who knows? I might fall in love with a virgin, idk, doesn’t really matter to me, just not something I have come across yet. I, however, would never have anal sex. Does not matter who’s asking, I’m not doing it. The thought of it makes me want to hurl, and I guess it’s just not something I would ever be comfortable doing.
Now, the big ones that are all (kind of) obvious, I have never had an STI, I have never been impregnated, I have never committed an act of voyeurism, incest, or bestiality. As mentioned in a previous blog, I did think I had an STI once, but I didn’t so that’s a great thing and I am definitely not striving to mark that off my list. I chose to use the word “impregnated” because that is what the RPT used and I thought it was a bit… cold. But, no, I have never gotten pregnant (THANK GOD). Voyeurism, incest, and bestiality are some things that I would never go near. Wouldn’t even consider it. Consensual voyeurism could be cool I guess, but not for me. Incest and bestiality shouldn’t need an explanation.
But yeah. My Rice Purity Test score was a bit lower than I expected it to be. I am so glad that I stand by the things that I have not done and I have a clear understanding of whether or not each is something I would consider doing in the future.
