Analysis

The Orgasm Rating Scale (ORS) is a psychometric tool designed to evaluate the subjective experience of orgasm. The scale examines various dimensions of the orgasmic experience, such as intensity, satisfaction, emotional responses, and bodily sensations that individuals experience during orgasm. Its purpose is to provide a detailed and quantitative assessment of the quality of the orgasmic experience.

Purpose

The aims of the scale are to:
Evaluate Subjective Experience: Record and assess the different dimensions of the subjective experience of orgasm.
Understand Individual Differences: Explore individual differences in the perception and evaluation of orgasm.
Support Therapeutic Interventions: Contribute to the development of interventions aimed at improving sexual satisfaction and sexual health.
Advance Sexuality Research: Support scientific research on orgasmic experience and sexual dysfunctions.

Scoring

The scale includes a series of statements evaluated by participants using a Likert scale, ranging from 1 (not at all in agreement) to 5 (strongly in agreement). These statements cover various aspects of the orgasmic experience, and the total scores provide an estimate of the quality and intensity of orgasm.
