A study validates the Sexual Desire and Erotic Fantasies questionnaire (SDEF1) as a reliable tool to assess various dimensions of sexual desire, highlighting significant gender and orientation differences among 1,773 Italian participants.
By Dr. Sushama R. Chaphalkar, PhD.Reviewed by Susha Cheriyedath, M.Sc.Jun 28 2024 In a recent study published in the International Journal of Impotence Research, researchers in Italy developed and tested the psychometric properties of the Sexual Desire and Erotic Fantasies questionnaire - Part 1 Sexual Desire in 1,773 Italian participants.
Background Sexual desire, a complex psychological state influenced by internal and external stimuli, motivates sexual behavior. Traditional measures often overlook the multidimensional nature of desire, focusing instead on desire outputs like frequency of sexual activity. Existing tools do not consider different sociocultural contexts and tend to represent diverse sexual identities and expressions inadequately.
Results and discussion Six factors were identified from the initial 43 items in SDEF1, retaining 28 items. The six factors were: Sexual desire , negative feelings about sexual desire , autoerotic desire , regular partner desire , attractive person desire , and responsive desire . "Sexual desire" reflected the overall self-perceived level of sexual arousal, encompassing various activities such as kissing and intercourse.
