abstract = {An essential aspect of science is the availability of reliable and valid measurement
tools that allow for accurate assessment of sexological variables in individuals, and this
Research Topic includes three articles on this topic. The article Psychometric evaluation
of the abbreviated Hungarian Faking Orgasm Scale for Women (Csányi et al.) examines
the factorial structure of a scale designed to explore the underlying motivation in cases
of faked orgasm. The article Development of a cross-cultural scale on attitudes toward
gender and sexual diversity (AGSD) (Oleas et al.) presents the development of a scale
aimed at assessing attitudes toward gender and sexual diversity. This scale constitutes a
valuable tool for both clinical and educational contexts, where attitudes toward gender and
sexual diversity can be evaluated to promote changes toward healthier attitudes. The third
article focused on instrument validation is entitled Validation of the Brief Index of Sexual
Functioning for women and men (BISF-W and BISF-M) in an Italian sample (Panzeri et al.).
This study validates an assessment instrument originally designed for women and develops
a version for men, in its Italian adaptation, to evaluate sexual experiences in both clinical
and experimental settings.
Additionally, this Research Topic features several articles with a clear clinical
orientation, such as Influence of personality disorders on sexual behaviors and response to
treatment of psychogenic erectile dysfunction in phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitor non-responders
(Cabello-García et al.), which analyses the influence of personality disorders on erectile
dysfunction. This Research Topic remains under-researched and is of considerable clinical
interest in the treatment of patients who do not respond to pharmacological interventions.},
