This brief self-report measure is designed to support rapid, structured screening of female sexual functioning in clinical consultation. Female Sexual Formula provides an initial quantitative snapshot of domains that may warrant follow-up assessment or discussion.
The instrument consists of 9 items and typically requires about 2 minutes to complete. Item responses may help characterize baseline sexual activity patterns, preferences, and other clinically relevant features, and can be used to guide subsequent interviewing, differential considerations, and treatment planning. In some sources, the measure is attributed to William H. Masters and Virginia E. Johnson. Female Sexual Formula is intended for preliminary evaluation and should be interpreted in the context of the patient’s history, relationship factors, medical status, and culturally informed norms.
