AMORE Questionnaire

Test scores

Report

A dispositional sexual motive is a relatively stable interest in obtaining gratification from a specific outcome associated with sexual behavior or sexual interaction. Intrinsic sexual motivation is the desire or interest in outcomes inherent in sexual expression, those that cannot be experienced except through sexual expression.

The eight sexual motives assessed by the AMORE are the desire to:

• feel valued by one's partner,

• express value for one's partner,

• obtain relief from negative emotional states,

• provide nurturance and comfort to one's partner,

• enhance one's power,

• experience the power of one's partner,

• experience sensuality and physical pleasure,

• procreate.

The eight motives are considered to be important factors influencing individuals to engage in sexual behavior.
