WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Male Sexual Formula Test - Symptoms and Signs

sexology

In clinical sexology settings, the Male Sexual Formula is used as a brief, structured self-report measure to support an initial overview of key aspects of a man’s sexual functioning and related concerns. It is intended to provide a standardized snapshot that can help organize discussion during evaluation.

The instrument includes 10 items and typically takes about 2 minutes to complete. It was originally described by William H. Masters and Virginia E. Johnson. The Male Sexual Formula may be used to aid clinical documentation and to monitor change over time when repeated, with results interpreted in the context of the individual’s history, relationships, medical factors, and presenting concerns.
