Abstract	Few studies have investigated endorsement of female sexual response models, and no single model has been accepted as a normative description of women’s sexual response. The aim of the study was to establish how women from a population-based sample endorse current theoretical models of the female sexual response—the linear models and circular model (partial and composite Basson models)—as well as predictors of endorsement. Accordingly, 174 heterosexual women aged 18–55 years were included in a cross-sectional study: 74 women diagnosed with female sexual dysfunction (FSD) based on DSM-5 criteria and 100 non-dysfunctional women. The description of sexual response models was used to divide subjects into four subgroups: linear (Masters–Johnson and Kaplan models), circular (partial Basson model), mixed (linear and circular models in similar proportions, reflective of the composite Basson model), and a different model. Women were asked to choose which of the models best described their pattern of sexual response and how frequently they engaged in each model. Results showed that 28.7 % of women endorsed the linear models, 19.5 % the partial Basson model, 40.8 % the composite Basson model, and 10.9 % a different model. Women with FSD endorsed the partial Basson model and a different model more frequently than did non-dysfunctional controls. Individuals who were dissatisfied with a partner as a lover were more likely to endorse a different model. Based on the results, we concluded that the majority of women endorsed a mixed model combining the circular response with the possibility of an innate desire triggering a linear response. Further, relationship difficulties, not FSD, predicted model endorsement.
