I honestly can’t think of a non-obscene use of this question someone would normally use.
That’s why I said ‘normally’…
Also, sci-fi as a genre is seriously underdeveloped here =/
one patient to another: "the nurse says the doctors lost an instrument during surgery"
There was a question about love somewhere, lets go with that. "Is there love in her, or you?" OK, that actually makes it worse.
Maybe a spirit or feeling? "I know she asked for the divorce... but Is the anger inside her or inside you?"
Though yes, upon first reading I found it pretty obscene too!
This has been the most fun lesson yet. ^_^ this is the last question for me, but thank you all for the hilarious comments!
How do you know the difference of בתוך inside you, and בתוכה inside her? Does it sound the same?

Inside you is בתוכך (one more כ) for singular or בתוככם/בתוככן for plural "inside you". בתוך is just "inside". "Inside him" is בתוכו, so as you see, all of them are quite different.
Here is the whole list:
The basic form is בתוך (betóch) - inside
בתוכי - inside me (betochí)
בתוככך - inside you (betochechá (m.sg.) + betochéch (f.sg.))
inside him (betochó) - בתוכו
inside her (betochá) - בתוכה
inside us (betochénu) - בתוכנו
inside you, m.p. (betochechém) - בתוככם
בתוככן - inside you, f.pl. (betochechén)
inside them, m.pl. (betochám) - בתוכם
בתוכן - inside them, f.pl. (betochán)
In this excercise I coudn't hear the difference either. So I got it wrong....
זה כיף! I'm having so much fun reading through the comments in this section.. lol Keep it up, Duo..
I wonder if it could point to female pronouns which could mean something is inside an inanimate object, rather than a real woman.
Since it's a question, what's wrong with adding "Is it" in front of the sentence when translate to English?

Well, there is no זה to translate it as "it". Your version would be זה בתוכה או בתוככן?
