Sexual Excitation/Sexual Inhibition Inventory for Women

Author Cynthia A. Graham Author Stephanie A. Sanders Author Robin R Milhausen

Abstract

The theoretical model underlying the SESII-W is the dual control model (Bancroft, 1999; Bancroft, Graham, Janssen, & Sanders, 2009; Bancroft & Janssen, 2000). This model proposes that there are separate, relatively independent excitatory and inhibitory systems and that the occurrence of sexual arousal depends on the relative activation of SE and SI. A basic assumption of the model is that individuals vary in their propensity for both SE and SI.
