The first 2 items question the frequency and level of sexual desire (1–5 points); items 3–6 question arousal level, confidence, and satisfaction (0–5 points); items 7–10 question the frequency/difficulty of lubrication and maintaining lubrication (0–5 points); items 11–13 question orgasm frequency, difficulty, and satisfaction (0–5 points); items 14–16 question satisfaction with the amount of closeness with a partner, sexual relationship, and overall sex life (1–5 points); and items 17–19 question the frequency and level of pain during and after penetration (0–5 points). Total FSFI score ranges from a minimum of 2 to a maximum of 36, with scores below 26.55 indicating SD^{12 (link)}
