What Is the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI-19)?
The FSFI-19 assesses female sexual function across six domains: desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, and pain. Rosen and colleagues developed it in 2000, and it's been a go-to clinical tool for evaluating female sexual dysfunction since.
Six Domains
1. Desire (2 items): Frequency and intensity of sexual desire 2. Arousal (4 items): Sensation, frequency, and satisfaction with arousal 3. Lubrication (4 items): Vaginal wetness during sexual activity 4. Orgasm (3 items): Frequency, difficulty, and satisfaction with orgasm 5. Satisfaction (3 items): Satisfaction with sexual relationship and overall sex life 6. Pain (3 items): Discomfort or pain during vaginal penetration
Scoring
Items use various response scales. Domain scores are calculated with weighted multipliers (Desire ×0.6, Arousal ×0.3, Lubrication ×0.3, Orgasm ×0.4, Satisfaction ×0.4, Pain ×0.4). Total score range: 2–36. Clinical cutoff: ≤26.55 (Wiegel et al., 2005) indicates elevated risk of sexual dysfunction.
