Abstract
The purpose of this study was to describe indicators of sexual desire, sexual impulsivity and auto-eroticism in 402 women aged between 17 and 35 years living in Mexico City. Positive relationships were found between the factors sexual self-efficacy and four of the six factors of sexual desire (‘attraction’, ‘excitement’, ‘romance’ and ‘sexual surrender’) and only one negative relationship between ‘self-efficacy’ and ‘sexual guilt’. ‘Sexual impulsivity’ correlated positively with sexual guilt. ‘Autoerotic desire’ correlated negatively with the factors ‘self-efficacy’ and ‘sexual guilt’. Some significant differences were found between age groups and between those classified as being or not sexually active. The group of elder women and of those who had already started their sexual life obtained the highest averages in the factors ‘sexual surrender’ and ‘excitement’.
