Abstract
Introduction: The notion of sexual boredom is a potentially useful and interesting construct in the field of human sexuality. Objective: The aim of the present study was to validate the Portuguese version of the Sexual Boredom Scale (SBS), a scale that assesses sexual boredom among men and women. Material and methods: A total of 298 participants completed the Portuguese version of the SBS. Results: The main psychometric properties of the Portuguese version of the SBS were assessed. Discussion: The Portuguese version of the SBS revealed a unidimensional factor structure and three items were eliminated due to low loadings. Good values were obtained in terms of internal consistency, convergent validity, divergent validity and concurrent validity. Conclusions: The use of the Portuguese adaptation of the SBS is justified since it has sound psychometric properties.
