“…Meanwhile, the division by regions of the country is based on the geographical, political, nancial, and sociocultural division of the country from north and south to its capital, Santiago. This is mainly due to Chile's high level of centralization of resources destined for Santiago, fostering such division (Mardones, 2006;Thayer, 2011), as well as other sociocultural and nancial repercussions (Herrera & Pino, 2023). Furthermore, civil status divided people between those who were single (i.e., single, separated, divorced, and widowed), and those in a relationship (i.e., in a relationship, common law, engaged/married).…”

Inconsistencies in the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) factor structure and current research and clinical guidelines highlight the need for continued exploration of its psychometric evidence. Furthermore, only one study has assessed its measurement invariance (MI), while the only FSFI validation conducted in Chile lacks quality and representativity. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluated the FSFI in a Chilean sample (n = 2595), examining MI across relationship status, age groups, regions of the country, BDSM practices, and paraphilic interests. Confirmatory factor analysis supported a six-factor structure. Criterion-related validity indicated modest-to-moderate effects in satisfaction differences based on relationship status, regions, and BDSM practices. MI was achieved across socio-demographic variables at the factor covariance level. While acknowledging the absence of a clinical group for female sexual dysfunction (FSD) diagnosis, potential pandemic-related impact on scores, online methodology biases, and limited diversity in gender and sexual orientation, our findings supports the FSFI as a valuable research tool for female sexual function and wellbeing. This study significantly expands the applicability of the FSFI and underscores its measurement invariance across sociodemographic factors, as well as its applicability in the Chilean context.
