Changes in desire, arousal, or comfort with intimacy are common, but they’re not always easy to bring up, even with a partner, let alone a stranger. This evaluation gives you a private, low-pressure way to think through what’s actually been going on before you ever have to say it out loud to anyone.
It takes just a few minutes, nothing you enter is stored or shared, and no login is required. Answer honestly, based on what you’ve actually been noticing, not what you think is supposed to be normal.
What This Evaluation Addresses
This evaluation asks about changes in desire, arousal, comfort during intimacy, and any distress or worry connected to those changes, since sexual difficulties can show up in a lot of different ways and aren’t limited to one specific symptom. It also looks at how long this has been going on and whether it’s affecting your relationship or your sense of yourself.
Sexual dysfunction can have physical causes, emotional causes, or often some combination of both, stress, a relationship dynamic, a medical condition, or a past experience can all play a role. This evaluation isn’t built to sort out which one applies to you, just to help you get a clearer picture of what you’re dealing with.
Take a Few Minutes to Answer
Answer each question as honestly as you can. There’s no judgment built into this, and no one else sees your answers unless you choose to share them. If a question doesn’t quite apply to your situation, answer based on what feels closest.
What Your Results Indicate
Your results will show a general range rather than a specific verdict. A higher score suggests that what you’re experiencing may be significant enough to be worth exploring further, whether that’s with a therapist, a doctor, or both. A lower score doesn’t necessarily mean nothing is going on, it just means this particular tool didn’t pick up a strong signal.
Whatever your results look like, if this is something you’ve been thinking about enough to search for and take this evaluation, that’s reason enough to take it seriously.
Not a Medical Diagnosis
This self-evaluation is a screening tool, not a medical or psychological diagnosis. It can’t determine the cause of what you’re experiencing, and no score here should be treated as a clinical conclusion. Sexual dysfunction can have both physical and emotional roots, so getting a full picture may involve both a doctor and a therapist, not one or the other on its own.
Talking to Someone About This
This is a genuinely common thing to bring to therapy, and it’s something our therapists are comfortable talking through directly, without awkwardness or judgment on your end. Sessions happen over secure, HIPAA-compliant video with a fully licensed Texas therapist, so you can have this conversation from somewhere private and familiar rather than an unfamiliar office, all you need is a phone or laptop.
If a physical cause seems likely, your therapist can also help you think through when it makes sense to loop in a doctor alongside the work you’re doing in therapy.
Common Questions About Sexual Dysfunction Self-Evaluation
No. Sexual dysfunction and the distress that comes with it can affect you regardless of relationship status, and it’s worth exploring either way.
It’s possible, and often it’s a mix of both. A therapist can help you think through whether a medical evaluation alongside therapy makes sense for your situation.
Yes, and you’re far from alone in that. This is one of the more common things people hesitate to bring up, which is exactly why a private starting point like this can help.
Only as much as you’re comfortable with. Your therapist will follow your lead on pace and detail, especially early on.
