Σύνοψη	The ASEX is a brief, five-item self-report screening measure designed to assess sexual dysfunction in patients taking psychotropic medications, particularly antidepressants and antipsychotics. First published by McGahuey and colleagues in 2000, it rapidly measures sexual desire, arousal, penile erection (or lubrication), ejaculation (or orgasm), and satisfaction. The ASEX has become the standard tool for evaluating medication-induced sexual side effects in psychiatric and psychopharmacology research.	The Sexual Satisfaction Scale (also known as the Kansas City Sexual Satisfaction Scale) is a brief, unidimensional self-report measure designed to assess subjective satisfaction with sexual life and sexual relationships. First published by Ponticas in 2003, it comprises typically 5–7 items measuring global sexual satisfaction on simple Likert or semantic differential scales. Its brevity and conceptual clarity make it useful for rapid assessment in clinical and research settings.
