Bands

Absent Sexual Functioning

Expressions activating this band are not meaningfully about sexual functioning and instead contain neutral demographic, medical-history, or unrelated content with no clear sexual response or performance experience.

Mild Sexual Functioning

Expressions activating this band mention sex-related anatomy, identity, or isolated sexual situations, with only limited indication of functional difficulty or disruption. Sexual functioning is present mainly as a contextual topic rather than a clearly developed problem in desire, arousal, or orgasm.

Moderate Sexual Functioning

Expressions activating this band describe noticeable concerns about sexual desire, sexual functioning, or body-related sexual self-perception. The experience is marked by reduced interest in sex, dissatisfaction, or recognition that sexual functioning has become problematic.

High Sexual Functioning

Expressions activating this band focus on concrete sexual acts and bodily sexual response, especially orgasm, masturbation, genital use, and discomfort with sex-linked bodily functioning. Sexual functioning is experienced as a salient and specific bodily issue.

Severe Sexual Functioning

Expressions activating this band describe explicit impairment in core sexual response, including erection problems, premature ejaculation, and inability to achieve orgasm. Sexual functioning is experienced as a direct and substantial difficulty in sexual performance and physiological response.
