Women's sexuality: Behaviors, responses, and individual differences.
Andersen, Barbara L.; Cyranowski, Jill M.
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology. Vol 63(6), Dec 1995, 891-906.
Classic and contemporary approaches to the assessment of female sexuality are discussed. General approaches, assessment strategies, and models of female sexuality are organized within the conceptual domains of sexual behaviors, sexual responses (desire, excitement, orgasm, and resolution), and individual differences, including general and sex-specific personality models. Where applicable, important trends and relationships are highlighted in the literature with both existing reports and previously unpublished data. The present conceptual overview highlights areas in sexual assessment and model building that are in need of further research and theoretical clarification.
