Sexual Imagination Potency (SIP) Test to Explore the Unconscious Sexual Life of Humans

Abstract

Despite the of the sexuality in the human life, most studies performed up have been generally limited to the only evaluation of sexual behaviour and orientation, rather than the intimate sexual feeling in terms of sexual fantasies. Some preliminary results would suggest the existence of some same sexual fancies beyond the difference occurring between homo and hetero sexuality, in particular the fantasy of On a preliminary study was planned to elaborate a sexual test carried out to investigate not only the sexual behaviour but the dimension of sexual fancies and imagination, by proposing a specific analysis that we have called Sexual Imagination Potency (SIP). The study included 150 consecutive healthy volunteers and the test was accepted in 111/150 subjects. No significant difference in SIP mean values was observed between men and women. Within the evaluated fancies, a particular importance has been shown to be played by the manner to imagine the androgyny aspect, and the pleasure for pegging. In fact, the subjects with pleasure for pegging showed significantly higher SIP mean values with respect to those, who had no pleasure for pegging. These preliminary results, which have to be confirmed in greater number of healthy subjects, seem to demonstrate the importance of the androgyny image in influencing the sexual mood by connecting hetero and homo sexual fancies in a unique imaginative psychosexual world.
