INTERPRETING YOUR SCORE
IF YOUR SCORE IS BETWEEN 0 and 11.
You have a very low sex drive. This may have a negative effect on your relationships. I know that a healthy relationship is not simply based on sex, but also on on trust, love, and communication. However, intimacy leads to intimacy; what I mean is that there are different forms of intimacy, such as touch intimacy (non sexual – hugs, holding hands, massage, etc.), verbal intimacy and sexual intimacy. When you have sexual intimacy with your partner, you are laying the paving stones for a more intimate relationship. You need to try to lose some of your inhibitions and allow sexual intimacy with your partner more often. There are materials available, such as tutorial books and DVDs, on learning how to become more intimate with your partner.
IF YOUR SCORE IS BETWEEN 12 and 22.
You have a perfectly healthy and normal sex drive. This will have a positive effect on your relationships. Your sexual intimacy will lead to other forms of intimacy with your partner, ultimately taking you to the next level.
IF YOUR SCORE IS BETWEEN 23 and 33.
You have a high sex drive. This may have a negative effect on any relationships you have. You have to balance all the different aspects of intimacy; what I mean is that there are different forms of intimacy, such as touch intimacy (non-sexual – hugs, caress, holding hands, massage, etc.), verbal intimacy and sexual intimacy. If you focus on just one, your relationships will struggle to get to the next level. You need to understand that there are more to relationships than just sex.
