In a view of sex work being a sexual behavioural activity, the main objective of our research was to explore the sexuality of sex workers in Serbia regarding to intensity of their sexual arousability.
The research was conducted on 30 sex workers and 30 controls of randomly selected social and demographic characteristics, without any signs of psychiatric morbidity. For the evaluation of the intensity of sexual arousability, SAI (Sexual Arousability Index) questionnaire was used.
The analysis of the main total scores of the SAI for the sex workers and control participants showed no statistically significant difference in the overall intensity of arousability (p>0.05). However, item by item analysis of the questionnaire showed qualitative difference in sexuality between sex workers and controls, related to certain aspects of sexuality.
These findings allow the space for further research in the way of identifying origins of qualitative issues in the sexual profile of sex workers, in correlation to women who are not sex workers, i.e. whether they had been result of potential biological, specific psychodynamic factors, or have been formed as a result of the direct influence of the sex work.
鉴于性工作是一种性行为活动，我们研究的主要目的是探讨塞尔维亚性工作者的性行为，了解其性唤起的强度。
本研究选取了 30 名性工作者和 30 名随机选择的具有相似社会人口统计学特征且无精神疾病迹象的对照组参与者。为了评估性唤起的强度，我们使用了 SAI（性唤起指数）问卷。
对性工作者和对照组参与者的 SAI 主要总分进行分析，结果显示在整体唤起强度方面无统计学显著差异（p>0.05）。然而，对问卷的逐项分析显示，性工作者和对照组之间的性行为存在质的差异，涉及到某些性行为方面。
这些发现为进一步研究提供了空间，以确定性工作者性行为中定性问题的起源，以及与非性工作者女性相比，这些问题是潜在的生物学、特定心理动力学因素的结果，还是直接受性工作影响形成的。
