Sexual disgust is an emotion hypothesized to deter individuals from engaging in sexual activities that are probabilistically detrimental to fitness. Based on a series of three studies, we developed a multidimensional scale of sexual disgust. The six factors of sexual disgust are: Taboo, Oral sex, Promiscuity, Hygiene, BDSM, and Same-sex attraction. The scale indicates acceptable construct and convergent validity.
