This is more like a human sexuality test... Btw, I didn't get enough time to answer the questions. Not even in school they give me this little time. Also, question number two is frotteurism, the one I chose. They marked it wrong saying the correct answer was exhibitionism. And excitement is classified as the first in the human sexual response cycle.
