abstract = {Background/Objective: Orgasm Rating Scale (ORS) assess the subjective orgasm
experience in context of sexual relationship. It is composed of four dimensions attributed to
the orgasm (Affective, Sensory, Intimacy, and Rewards). The purpose is to analyse the factorial
invariance of the ORS across groups, to examine the metric equivalence across sex, and to
present the standard scores. Method: A total of 1,472 Spanish adults (715 men and 757 women)
were evaluated. They were distributed across age groups (18-34, 35-49 and 50 years old and
older). Factorial invariance across different groups and the differential functioning of the items
across sex were analyzed, internal consistency was examined, and the standard scores were
developed. Results: The structure of the ORS showed strict measurement invariance across
sex, relationship status, sexual orientation and education level. It also reached a scalar measurement
invariance across age range and duration of the relationship. Some items showed a
differential functioning between sexes. Conclusions: The Spanish version of the ORS is invariant
across different groups at a factorial level, and it shows equivalence across sex in most of its
items at a metric level. The standard scores allow a more accurate assessment of the subjective
orgasm experience in context of sexual relationship.},
