Analysis

The IOSSS is a tool designed to assess an individual’s sexual satisfaction. It includes questions that measure the satisfaction derived from sexual activity, covering parameters such as frequency, quality, and the emotional response to one’s sex life.

Purpose

The main goals of the IOSSS are to:
Assess the Level of Sexual Satisfaction: Measure the degree of satisfaction a person experiences from their sexual life.
Explore Parameters of Satisfaction: Examine various factors that contribute to sexual satisfaction, such as the quality of the sexual relationship, communication, and emotional aspects.
Identify Areas Needing Improvement: Highlight areas where sexual satisfaction may be low and suggest improvements.
Support Therapeutic Interventions: Provide data that can be used to design and implement interventions aimed at improving sexual satisfaction.

Calibration

Calibration of the IOSSS includes:
Categorization of Responses: Participants answer questions related to their satisfaction with sexual life, using scales of agreement/disagreement, satisfaction scales, or other measurement methods.
Total Score: A total score is calculated that reflects the level of sexual satisfaction, with higher scores indicating greater satisfaction.
Result Analysis: The relationship between levels of sexual satisfaction and other parameters—such as communication with one’s partner, frequency of sexual activity, and emotional well-being—is examined.
