One common concern involves whether a partner has had any form of contact with individuals their significant other would not approve of—such as ex-partners or former sexual partners. 

Common Questions:

• Have you had any contact with someone you dated before?

• Have you had any contact with [name]?

• Have you had any contact with someone you have previously had sex with?

• Have you met in person someone you dated before?

• Did you meet [name] in person?

• Have you met in person someone you have previously had sex with?

Pornography can become a contentious issue in relationships, especially when boundaries or mutual agreements are violated. When one partner has limited or restricted the other’s access to pornographic material, a polygraph test can confirm whether these boundaries have been respected.

Sample Questions:

• Did you intentionally view any pornography?

• Did you intentionally watch any pornography?

• Did you intentionally look at any pornographic images?

• Did you intentionally view any images of people engaged in sexual acts?

For many couples, attending strip clubs or engaging with strippers—whether in clubs or at private events—violates agreed-upon relationship boundaries. Even if sexual intercourse does not occur, activities like lap dances can constitute sexual contact.

Sample Questions:

• Have you been inside a strip club?

• Have you given money to a stripper?

• Have you hired a stripper?

• Have you watched a stripper perform?

Online behavior is another area where unsanctioned activity can occur—whether through hidden screen names, forbidden websites, or dating platforms.

Sample Questions:

• Do you currently have any screen names that [partner] is not aware of?

• Are you intentionally concealing any internet screen names from [name]?

• Have you visited any websites that [name] has asked you not to visit?

• Have you visited any websites that you promised [name] you would not visit?

• Have you visited any dating websites?
