Σύνοψη	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.	The FSDS is a brief self-report measure designed to assess psychological distress specifically related to female sexual dysfunction. Originally developed by Derogatis and colleagues and published in 2002, the revised version (FSDS-R) comprises 13 items measuring distress about sexual concerns, with particular utility in identifying women who seek treatment for sexual problems versus those with asymptomatic sexual dysfunction. It is widely used in clinical practice and research to distinguish distress-inducing sexual dysfunction from normative sexual variation.
