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)
