How the Scales are Structured

Disorder DurationDD

Measures how long potential disturbances in sexual functioning have been present.

example score3/4

3/4Long-standingexample score

0 – 2Recent/short-term

3 – 4Long-standing

A score of 3 indicates the reported difficulties have likely been present for a long time rather than being recent.

Fourth DyadFD

Assesses indirect prerequisites for a woman’s sexual expression, such as partner-supported sexual activity level and typical intercourse duration.

example score5/8

5/8Lower prerequisitesexample score

0 – 5Lower prerequisites

6 – 7Moderate prerequisites

8Higher prerequisites

A score of 5 suggests comparatively lower partner-supported prerequisites for sexual activity and/or typical intercourse duration within this scale.

Third DyadTD

The Third Dyad measures a woman's physical recovery and emotional state following sexual intercourse.

example score3/8

3/8Low response/recoveryexample score

0 – 5Low response/recovery

6 – 8High response/recovery

A score of 3 falls in the Low response/recovery range, suggesting a comparatively weaker post-intercourse recovery and emotional aftereffect on this scale.

Second DyadSD

Assesses sexual intercourse performance parameters, including arousal/readiness to initiate sexual activity and capacity to reach orgasm.

example score4/8

4/8Lowexample score

0 – 5Low

6 – 7Moderate

8High

A score of 4 falls in the Low range, suggesting comparatively reduced arousal/readiness and/or orgasmic capacity during intercourse performance on this scale.

First DyadFD

Assesses preparatory processes and emotional readiness in the early stage of the copulatory cycle before the sexual act.

example score6/8

6/8Highexample score

0 – 5Low

6 – 8High

A score of 6 indicates a relatively high level of preparatory arousal and emotional readiness prior to the sexual act.

Overall (Prognostic) IndexOI

This scale summarizes overall sexual functioning across the main FSF parameters as a single prognostic indicator.

example score8/36

8/36Lowexample score

0 – 26Low

27 – 36High

A score of 8 falls in the Low range, suggesting reduced overall sexual functioning across the assessed parameters compared with higher scores.

SAMPLE QUESTIONS

Example Questions From the Test

- I have never had any bleeding from the genital tract.
- Irregular bleeding from the genital tract, or regular bleeding from other sites (for example, nosebleeds).
- In recent years, my periods have become irregular or have stopped completely.
- My periods became irregular only under adverse conditions (for example, during significant stress, in summer, or after a change of residence).
- My periods have always remained regular, even under the most adverse conditions.
- Sexual intercourse has always caused an overwhelming feeling of disgust (or pain).
- For some time now, sexual intercourse has caused disgust, so I look for an excuse to avoid it.
- Sexual intercourse is indifferent to me, and I take part without inner desire (out of a sense of duty or to avoid conflict).
- Sexual intercourse is pleasurable, but the degree of enjoyment clearly depends on the phase of the menstrual cycle.
- Sexual intercourse always produces intense pleasure, regardless of the phase of the menstrual cycle.
- Never.
- At intervals of at least one year.
- Several times a year, but no more than once a month.
- Several times a month, but no more than once a week.
- About twice a week or more often.
- Daily, once or several times.

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

Female Sexual Formula Test - Description and methodology of the test

sexology

Women who want a structured way to examine sexual experiences, partner-related conditions, or past difficulties can use this questionnaire for focused self-reflection. The Female Sexual Formula Test organizes information across several stages of sexual functioning rather than reducing the result to one symptom. It can help readers recognize patterns in female sexual functioning, desire, arousal, orgasm, recovery, and cycle-related experience.

What This Assessment Measures

Women can see patterns in the sexual functioning profile.

Displayed scales:

Disorder Duration (0-4) measures difficulty duration: Recent/short-term (0-2) or Long-standing (3-4).
First Dyad (0-8) reflects preparation and emotional readiness: Low (0-5) or High (6-8).
Second Dyad (0-8) covers arousal, readiness, and orgasm: Low (0-5), Moderate (6-7), or High (8-8).
Third Dyad (0-8) describes physical and psychological response after intercourse, including recovery and emotional state: Low response/recovery (0-5) or High response/recovery (6-8).
Fourth Dyad (0-8) reflects partner-provided activity and intercourse-duration prerequisites: Lower prerequisites (0-5), Moderate prerequisites (6-7), or Higher prerequisites (8-8).
Overall (Prognostic) Index (0-36) summarizes functioning: Low (0-26) or High (27-36); higher scores may indicate harmonious functioning, while lower scores may suggest possible dysfunction.

Methodology and Evidence Base

Each item uses ordered choices rather than yes/no responses. The options distinguish timing, frequency, intensity, desire, bodily response, emotional reaction, partner-related circumstances, and menstrual patterns. Together, they ask the respondent to compare her experience with descriptions covering different stages of sexual functioning.

Results are reported on the displayed scales and Overall Index. The answer-to-score mapping is not specified, so readers should use the shown categories rather than reconstructing how each response contributes. As a sexual function questionnaire, it organizes reflection around the displayed dimensions.

The questionnaire is conceptually consistent with the sexual-functioning framework discussed in Vasilchenko's 1977 guide. That relationship does not establish that the online form reproduces the source's format, norms, or validation.

A study by Airiyants and Yagubov discusses related patterns in coital anorgasmia. A later study by Yagubov, Dobaieva, and Airiyants describes a modified questionnaire and reports validation work. These studies provide context, not standardization for this digital form. Self-report is affected by current context, memory, relationship dynamics, and willingness to disclose, so the profile describes patterns rather than establishing a diagnosis.
