A two-panel SMBC comic. Main panel: a blonde woman and a dark-haired man, both apparently naked, face each other against a purple background. The woman asks, "Wait! How do I know you're good at sex?" The man replies, "I got an 87% on Erotic Reading Comprehension." She asks, "What's that have to do with sex?" He answers, "Nothing, but it's testable." A caption beneath reads: "If sex were like standardization tests." The joke skewers how standardized tests measure easily-quantifiable things rather than the actual skill they claim to assess. Votey (bonus panel): a black-and-white close-up of the man, who adds, "I also got a 4.0 in Sex Discussion Group."
