Over the last 3 to 4 decades then has been an upsurge in designing rating instruments for assessing various aspects of sexuality, sexual dysfunction, and sexual disorders. In this article, we review the instruments used for assessing/rating various sexual disorders stemming from problems in the areas of sexual knowledge to erection/ejaculation to marital functioning, etc. Some of the available scales focus on all the phases of the sexual cycle, whereas other scales focus on the specific phases of the sexual cycle. Some of the commonly used scales, which assess multiple domains of sexual dysfunction include the Arizona Sexual Experience Scale or the International Index of Erectile Dysfunction. Some of the scales focus on other disorders such as Dhat syndrome. Though a lot of scales are available, there is a paucity of culturally sensitive, translated-validated scales. Although rating instruments provide us with valuable information about the sexual functioning of an individual, these should always be used as an add-on, ie, secondary to detailed taking and clinical examination for making any diagnosis or formulation of a management plan.
