Indicators of the quality of sexual intercourse are based primarily on individual satisfaction, but there are also several methods used in scientific research and clinical diagnosis. These indicators have been developed to objectively assess sexual function and satisfaction.

1. Self-report questionnaire on sexual function

One of the most common ways to measure the quality of intercourse is to use self-report questionnaires. This includes the following:

  • International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF): a questionnaire widely used to evaluate the effectiveness of ED treatment, measuring erection quality, satisfaction with sexual intercourse, and overall sexual satisfaction.
  • Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI): a questionnaire to assess female sexual function, measuring sexual desire, lubrication, orgasm, intercourse pain, and intercourse satisfaction.

2. Sexual Satisfaction Scale

There are also scales specifically designed to assess sexual satisfaction. These include numerical ratings of post-sexual satisfaction and ratings of specific aspects (e.g., emotional bonding and communication with partner).

3. Physical measurements

There are also methods that use objective physiological data to measure the degree of penile stiffness and vaginal lubrication as physiological indicators of sexual arousal. These are often used primarily for research purposes.

4. Clinical Evaluation

Health care providers may use these indicators to assess the extent of symptoms related to a patient’s sexual health and changes before and after treatment. This allows them to determine how a particular treatment is affecting the quality of a patient’s sexual life.

The quality of sexual intercourse is highly dependent on personal experience, and what is best depends on the individual. Therefore, it is important that these measures be used only as a point of reference and that individual sensations and experiences be respected.
