Description

Loran and Segal developed a scale to evaluate male copulative function. The scale can be used to evaluate a sexual disorder by identifying defects in components of the copulative cycle.


 

Number of questions: 13

 

Responses range from 0 to 5, with 0 poor and 5 strong.

Number of subscores: 5

 

NOTE: The article was originally published in Russian. My Russian is a little rusty, so the translation needs to be checked.

 

subscore 1 = interest in sex (libido) =

= (points for 1) + (points for 2) + (points for 3)

 

subscore 2 = psychological =

= (points for 4) + (points for 5)

 

subscore 3 = erection =

= (points for 2) + (points for 3) + (points for 6)

 

subscore 4 = ejaculation =

= (points for 7) + (points for 8) + (points for 9)

 

subscore 5 = copulation function =

= (points for 10) + (points for 11) + (points for 12)

 

One way of handling the subscores is to take the average for the component questions.

 

average score =

= SUM(points for questions answered) / (number of questions answered)
