Brief Summary

Sexual dysfunction consists of a disorder of the sexual response, either in terms of desire, or in terms of vasocongestion, or in terms of orgasmic response, or in more than one phase of this response : Sexual dysfunctions are today described by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) V as:

• Disorders of sexual desire or decreased libido
• Sexual arousal disorder
• Delayed or absent orgasmic disorder
• Sexual disorder with pain Moreover, sexual dysfunctions are not without consequences on the life of a couple. The origins of these dysfunctions are multiple, but the result is most of the time the same: fear of failure, feeling of incompetence, anxiety, frustration or misunderstanding. To date, the scientific community benefits from a few self-administered questionnaires to measure the impact of certain dysfunctions. None takes into account all the dimensions of male sexuality. In Italy, the Brief Index of Sexual Functioning for Men is used. This questionnaire contains 22 items, grouped into 7 areas exploring all of male sexuality: desire, arousal, frequency of activity, receptivity, pleasure/orgasm, relationship satisfaction, problem affecting sexuality. This questionnaire is not currently validated in French, whereas the Brief Index of Sexual Functioning for Women is validated.
