Approximately 40% of women and 30% of men describe sexual dysfunction, although recognition in medical settings is sub-optimal, due to problems in reporting and eliciting concerns relating to sexual function and satisfaction. Screening questionnaires may help to support this aspect of clinical practice. The Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale (ASEX) includes items that quantify sex drive, arousal, vaginal lubrication or penile erection, ability to reach orgasm, and satisfaction from orgasm. Method. We investigated the validity and other psychometric properties of the ASEX, and the findings from the populations in which it has been employed, by searching MEDLINE, EMBASE and Google Scholar using the terms, Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale, Arizona Sexual Experience Questionnaire and ASEX.

After elimination of letters and duplicates, papers not in English, and pre-clinical and irrelevant studies, 104 papers were analysed.
