“…In the earlier part of the study, the cue for this diary item was “Sexual.” In the latter part of the study, the diary cue was “interested in having sex.” This approach to operationalization of sexual interest is most closely related to that proposed as “Desire 1;” in other words, sexual interest that is not specifically linked to a sexual stimulus (Levin 2002). The measure may also be compatible the first of two components in a model proposed by Bancroft: an incentive motivation component (sexual interest/desire); and, an arousal component (Bancroft 2009). This measure would also most closely resemble that described by Basson as “initial” sexual desire that generates increased attention to sexual stimuli, and variable subjective and physiologic arousal (Basson and Schultz 2007).…”

Theoretical and empirical linkages of adult women’s sexual interest and sexual behaviors are relatively well-established, but few data address similar issues in adolescent women. This paper reviews data from published reports of associations of adolescent women’s sexual interest and various sexual behaviors. All of the papers reported data collected from a single longitudinal cohort of young women. The primary source of data collection was daily diaries, allowing close temporal pairing of sexual interest with sexual behaviors. Young women’s sexual interest on a given day was consistently and independently associated with sexual activity on that day, whether the behavior was first lifetime coitus, coitus, fellatio, cunnilingus, anal intercourse, or coitus during menses. We also found no evidence of influence of hormonal contraceptives on young women’s sexual interest. Taken together, these data demonstrate the relevance of sexual interest as a key factor in young women’s sexuality and sexual behavior.
