Abstract. Assessment of sexual behaviors using the paired-comparisons method in a sample from Spain. Sexual attitudes have been inferred from test and scale scores, where all items have the same value. But these items could contribute differentially in the construct measure, being able to capture these differences between items through stimulus-centered scaling. The aim of the study was to verify if six stimuli referring to sexual behaviors have different scale values (weights) in a continuum of attitudinal valuation. Five hundred people selected by quota sampling participated. A questionnaire consisting of 15 pairs of sexual behaviors was applied individually. People had to select from each pair the behavior they valued more positively. The results show that the sexual behaviors' order in the valuation continuum is similar in the three subsamples (with steady partner, with casual partner, and without partner). Conventional behaviors have less weight in the construct than unconventional behaviors.

Keywords : sexual behaviors; scaling; sexual attitudes; attitudinal valuation.
